I knew I wanted to join AST right before rush. My first semester one of the sisters was in my health class and she made an awesome impression. She was really pretty, nice, smart, etc. and I knew that she was the type of person that I would want to be affialiated with. So we talked a little bit that semester and she informed me about AST (on my campus we have a lot of locals, so she explained a lot about the differences between national and local organizations). Around this time was when I was starting to look into all the organizations on campus to get a better idea of what they all offered. Although I have to say, that the more I learned about AST the more it was harder to really look into any other org.
The next semester she was in another class of mine and invited me out to formal rush (we have it in the spring). I almost didn't go, but luckily i ran into her that day at the student center and she invited me again. I went to the first night of rush and I knew by the end of the night that AST was the only org for me!! All the sisters were awesome and diffently in my opinion the best sorority on campus. I went through the rest of Rush being polite to the other sororitys but knew that deep down in my heart AST was the only one for me.
One year later, I'm so happy that I ran into my sister that day in the student center because I probably wouldn't of had the guts to come out to Rush (I was kinda shy). Being in AST is the best decesion I've ever made and I just love all my sisters so much!!
Sorry it's such a long story, but it only makes sense when it's explained in detail
