After my unhappy ending...

[Aerylle]

...I've been doing a lot of thinking.

For those of you who followed my story, this is an update. For those who didn't read my story, here's the Readers Digest version: I didn't get a bid and was released on Pref Night.

Here's the update I promised:

I am investigating a service sorority on my campus (well, more than investigating, but that's a whole different story) as well as toying with the idea of going through a second time next fall (as well as checking or informal in the winter/spring).

Here's the question(s) that nearly always accompanies a post of mine:

1. Is it worth it? Going through Formal again. I know it differs by school but..
2. What can I change, or do differently/better next year?
3. I will be a sophomore next year so I know that'll be against me, but is there anything I can do to make myself stand out other than getting as good of a GPA as I can and joining some clubs (already on that!)

Any advice on girls who've gone through twice and had positive results would be fantastic!
