Wow. I rest my case your honor.
Perhaps I should have made it clear that this was two years ago, and I rushed again as a sophmore, received a bid and am now an active member. I was dropped by both the houses mentioned after the first round, understandably. I AM happy where I am, but I have always wondered what if. Not because i don't love my sisters and my house now, but because I have always been an over acheiver who gets what they want. I know that's not how life works, I get it, they didn't want me, etc., etc. but it was my first real experience with this type of disappointment and it still bothers me, especially since I see this house and the girls every single day. Maybe you guys think that's pathetic, and I agree that it is in a way, and I'm embarrassed about it, which is why i can't talk to anyone about it, which is why I posted here. And I have been beating myself up about this for almost two years now, but not nearly as much as you guys just beat me up!

ORLY? Two years ago? Not once in your first post did you say that, in fact, you said:

My post was about my experience two years ago. I don't understand, did you want me to post about rush last year in that post as well? Why is that when someone doesn't fall in line with what you want their reaction to be or praise you for your take on the matter they are automatically a troll? And listen KSU, I did get some very encouraging and sympathetic responses in PMS, which I appreciate. maybe other posters are too afraid to dissent on the thread in public. God forbid they don't assume the self righteous, mocking tone of you and your flying monkeys.
This my last post here, but in closing I'd like to remind you that I am 20 year old girl who is posting about sorority recruitment. Some of you are fifty year old women who literally comment on EVERY SINGLE thread relating to greek life. I'm sorry, but who really needs to move on? I don't make it a practice to get in bitchy little spats with the local quilting bee or my mom and her friends, so why start now? I will cherish the next two years with my sisters, and I hope to look back on my college memories with a lot of fondness, but if I get to be your age and I'm STILL talking about recs and quotas on a message board, please someone shoot me in the head.

Wait because they are still involved with their sorority and Greek life in general, they need to move on? I need to tell the 90 year old alumni I saw at convention they need to move on then. Membership in a Greek organization is for life you dumb bitch, not just as long as you are in college. And maybe you should see a doctor if your PMS is giving you support.

Heffa doesn't need Midol. She's menopausal and simply a delusional bitch.

Flounce...See you in a few.

No one has been self righteous, but you've certainly been very touchy about people not telling you exactly what you wanted to hear. Secondly, how do expect people to give you any type of reasonable advice if you don't first give the ENTIRE backstory? I think everyone has actually given you very good advice...don't obsess over something that's over and done with. It's a waste of time and effort. If you want to waste your college years wishing you'd been a member of that group, go ahead, but you'll regret not embracing your real experience whole heartedly when you had the chance.
