OP- You have been given some honest- though maybe hard to hear- feedback here. While there is definite truth to what everyone has told you, I have to admit that I fall a little bit on the side with Anna. Whether it is how well your posts are written (compared to the garbade that we regularly get), your apparant ability to self-evaluate and recognize past mistakes, or just what seems to be a true desire to be a part of Greek Life, I for one would not cast you away too fast.
That being said, your ability to articulate your thoughts as well as your ability to honestly look at yourself and admit when you were wrong is what makes me sympathize with you a little bit and truly would want to make me learn more about you. At first I had little interest in your story, as we have seen/heard others just like it a thousand times. However, you seem slightly different. That is what intriqued me.
Recognize that the chapters will have also seen/heard similar stories (freshman/sophomore dropping out without giving a chapter a true chance, since 2 weeks doesn't come near counting as a chance...), but if somehow you can impress upon them that you truly regret the decision, continue to own up to your own mistake, and give concrete ways that you really want to be involved in a chapter, then MAYBE that too will catch someone's ear and they will want to invite you back to hear more.
Key word here, maybe.
I like your attitude, your honesty, and your ability to come back here and take your lumps. KSU always asks "what has changed?" since the last time one rushed, and maybe for you it is maturity. You certainly are much more mature than the typical poster who just wants us to tell them what they want to hear.
Best of luck to you. Please come back and let us know how things work out for you.
