Just so you know, as much as I appreciate the encouragement and good wishes that I get here on GC from actives and alums, I know that the decision rests solely with the chapter. I can understand the girls who may get their hopes way up, but luckily, You've all been as honest as you've been encouraging. Not only, that, but common sense tells me that a person I've never seen or talked to could not absolutely know that I would or would not be a perfect fit for their org. However, I wish I could convey how thankful I am that the NPC members here do not follow the example of the NPHC groups. If I hadn't had my questions answered, or had the encouragement, the occasional push, the help with recs, etc, I wouldn't have rushed at all. Then I would have retained my premature opinions of each group which were way off, I would've always wondered what if, and I wouldn't have met my rho sigma and her sister who are the most awesome girls!
Thank you for reminding us that we need to be realistic and remember that the decisions rest with the chapters and with us, not all of the wonderful women on GC. I'm off to prepare for rush now!!
