Good for you for realizing this and being able to look past the perceptions of others. As someone who was in a "less" popular chapter, I can heartily attest that sisterhood and other wonderful opportunities can be found in all kinds of chapters.

And good for you for having the courage and faith in yourself to go through the process again.

So happy for you!

Ditto. Plus at many schools, the "popular" groups tend to go through phases. One pledge class truly can change the chapter- for better or for worse! And yes, one member can make a difference in that pledge class as well. Every chapter has something going for it, and something that's a challenge. In my chapter the sisterhood was (is!) incredible, but we weren't as strong as the other chapters in recruitment. I'll pick a strong sisterhood any day, though. A group of us currently living around country (MA, WI, MN, CA, and WA) send weekly random emails with articles, fun items to buy, or whatever we found interesting.

I'm 7 years out of school and all of my chapter sisters are scattered around the US, but we get together every summer for someone's wedding and while the wedding is nice (), the reunion is hands down the best part!

Congratulations Wishful, and I hope you are enjoying every minute of being a new member!
