Going CRAZY!

[caprice89]

The exact thing I said was, "I can see myself in this sorority, but I don't know if I will be happy. Its like getting married to someone I've only known for one day." I was mostly concerned with being a good fit. The only person I had to talk to was my Pi Chi and other people I've talked to since belief that informal can help me make a more informed decision.

The ones I want now aren't the ones that rejected me honestly. The ones that invited me back for pref were very genuine and I could tell that they really loved each other and I didn't feel weird when I was there. I think the whole making a choice and voting make me over think the situation.

So, after I contact the greek life office how should I go about making sure the sorority understands where I was coming from? I know its confusing but I don't know ANYONE personally that has gone through it before, so I was a little lost. Which I believe is understandable.

It is completely understandable, but you also have to understand that the sororities probably don't know that, and there might be no way of telling them (unless you're invited to an event... in which case I still wouldn't bring it up while at a recruitment event unless asked. Because, hey, they liked you enough to invite you back).

Again, we can't really give you any direct advice about the course of action you should take from here without knowing the system of informal recruitment that is used on your campus. At some schools, the chapters hold informal during the semester after formal recruitment (in this case, it would be in the spring), at others, they hold events directly following formal. There might be events open to everyone, or they might be invite-only. There might be 10 groups participating in COB, there might be 2, or there might be none.

Find out all that you can from the Greek Life office, and then feel free to ask more specific questions.

Good Luck (and stay positive!)
