I am sorry that I didn't come back to acknowledge that you had answered my question from before. Thank you for answering and I am sorry you did not receive a bid from PSP. Read below to see why I feel this is a blessing in disguise.

But yes, go through colony recruitment. I truly believe your shift in understanding needs to come from within and from without. In other words, you need to understand that even if you get a bid from Da Baddest Bitches, Inc., that is not a guarantee that you will be accepted and loved off the top. Sisterhood and brotherhood just doesn't work like that. You may not click in the beginning, you may not click in the end, but hopefully you can make the best of whatever situation you find yourself in IF YOU GET A BID.

If you are invited to join a colony, it's going to be different. You will have to be a tone setter, a leader, a giver. This is quite literally not about what you can get from a sorority, but what you can give to it. Think about that when you are next in a situation to be judged by GLO members. My hunch is that they're not "feeling" you for some reason.

Oh, and PSP's reason as to why you didn't get a bid seems really weird to me. If they have a large pool of equally awesome applicants, I don't know why they wouldn't want to take them all. People can take twins when taking littles, we did that in APO when we had a huge number of people interested.

So basically, and this is pretty rude of me but I also feel like being honest: PSP doesn't impress me. It seems like APO with a GPA. I know the GCers here who have been members enjoyed their undergrad years, but there was always a second or third organization they were also loyal to.

The PSP members I know who are NOT members of another org have done shit for their organization after graduation. I'm not down with that. PSP has far fewer alumni volunteers than say APO and I just feel like the members I know literally did it because they couldn't get into anything else, and then they graduate and don't give back. That annoys me.

That annoys me about members of every GLO, but especially PSP for some reason.
