Hope for me?

Wow thanks for all the quick responses.

Actually I already graduated--early. And, I only went through one rush, which I dropped, during my freshman year in college.

I can understand why some would think this is a backdoor way to joining a sorority and I realize I would have to overcome that stigma.

I also understand that AI would be nothing like joining as a collegiate.

I'm sorry you feel that I have disrespected sororities. I sincerely wanted to be a part of a strong group of women who did good. I have also looked into joining a junior league, which is probably what I will end up doing.

Put yourself in my shoes--you have long regretted the choice you made back in college, transferred to a school where it would be impossible to join (as a commuter, at least I thought so), and realize that you could give a good deal to an alumna chapter. I thought that would make me a good candidate but I can see why this seems questionable, again I apologize for "disrespecting" sororities by so admiring them that I wanted to be a part. I sincerely thank you for the information, and I hope there is no bad blood.

It doesn't matter if you rushed multiple times or dropped out before completing the process. The point is that (according to your previous posts) the chapters cut you.

You said you were cut by "almost" every house - if you had stayed with the process, who knows, you might be in a sorority now. I know the cuts can be brutal but that's how big schools are, and your family (being sorority members themselves) really should have prepared you for it more.

You're a 22 year old recent college graduate with no collegiate chapter experience. What could you possibly offer to an alumnae chapter or as a collegiate adviser? Maybe once you have several years of life and work experience you can re-think this. Seriously, this is really sounding like you are a girl who just wants to be able to wear letters and fix one of the wrongs that happened in your life when you were a big angry girl. (I mean that with all sincerity and not with snarkiness.) It 's disrespectful to treat AI like "Yay! I graduated and changed! Kin i haz sorority nowz?"
