I am sorry. I've been putting my foot in my mouth all weekend. When I mentioned non-NPC sororities/fraternities, I didn't mean to imply that they were a "consolation prize." I know it sounds like I said that.
What I meant was that the possibility of being in a non-NPC sorority hadn't occurred to me, EVER, until just this weekend. I don't like 'settling' and wouldn't consider joining a club or organization as such. (What I mean, in other words, is that I don't view having the opportunity to join a GLO, any GLO even a non-NPC one, as settling.) I think they are also filled with amazing people who dedicate so much to their campus and to others.
I know that before, I made it sound like some of the sororities I visited weren't worth my time. That's not at all what I meant and it wasn't what I wanted to sound like. I think that having the opportunity to join an organization, made up of such amazing people, and to be a part of such a long tradition and to have the opportunity to give back to campus, is an opportunity to be thankful for and one I would welcome with open arms.
I know in my rush journal I didn't sound quite like that but it was the day I had been rejected, and I was somewhat hurt and disappointed. I have moved on, grown, and thought about it a lot more. I have a different perspective now, and only hope that I can get others to understand that. My opinion is different now... and yes, I NOW realize that I shouldn't have made my journal public. It is a mistake and I wish I could fix it. If I did somehow hurt anybody's feelings I really didn't mean to... it was nowhere near what I wanted and when I was posting, I wasn't even thinking of those possibilities. All I wanted was to give my family a chance to follow my week, and I didn't even consider the possibility that girls at UA could be reading it too.
I realize that it was a mistake. I'm going to work on my GPA and campus involvement, and try to make a difference. I only hope that I haven't done something irreparable, because as lame as it sounds, if I had known better I certainly wouldn't have.
