Hi all! This is kinda long, and I'm really sorry,

My name is Sara and I am 19 years old. To give a little back story, I joined the AGD chapter at my college. I threw myself into every aspect of the sorority life, as it's all I've wanted to do since I was little. Only a few weeks into it, I was asked to participate in another sorority's philanthropy pageant because our representative backed out the NIGHT BEFORE. So I have less than 24 hour notice and I agree to help (I do REAL pageants, so I figured it'd be easy enough). I am told to rap Super Bass by Nicki Minaj, and don't question it as I am overwhelmed. The sister that was supposed to help me went out of town, and I had no one to talk to. Participate in the pageant and get 3rd.

Two days later, I am contacted by my chapter president and told that I need to write a letter to every house on campus apologizing for using that song because it was inappropriate, and go to every house and read it out loud to the chapters by myself. I am mortified and say that I will go with her to deliver an apology FROM THE HOUSE explaining that I had only been asked to participate the night before, and that no one helped me and it was all a huge mistake. I was harassed for the next two hours about how our house prides itself on having quality women, and how I clearly am not one, and how if I don't do what she says I will be initiated, until I called my mom BAWLING and she had to ask her to stop.

The situation is handled and I get initiated. Once that happens, I find out that the president had been speaking very poorly of me and saying things that weren't true to the point where no one would talk to me, or be friendly with me. When going to dinner and chapters became painful, I de-activated. My parents and I agreed that it would be better for me as my grades were starting to suffer, and I was constantly upset.

Once I did, I started getting tweets from former sisters, and blocked calls and voicemails saying that I was never, and will never be considered an AGD and that I should probably just disappear because everyone would be better off.

We got a new president that I really liked and helped me deal with the tweets, etc. and I was going to re-activate once the year waiting period was up, but ended up meeting the love of my life and transferred to a school in another state that doesn't have an AGD chapter. So I am in the process of going early alum. I know of a junior circle near me, and am planning on joining, but was wondering if anyone knew if there are many girls like me who go early alum... because I still want the chance to have a little. To find a girl younger than me that I can have that special bond with. That's the ONLY THING that is killing me about this whole thing. I'm sad I'll never get to live-in and have that sisterhood experience, but I want a little so badly.

Does anyone have ANY advice on dealing with this, or my chances of finding a little, or anything like that?

Thanks, guys.
QFP.

How do you deactivate and then reactivate?
