Molly,
I completely understand and support your decision not to join one of the weaker houses you prefffed. The Greek system at my alma mater sounds a great deal like UFs even though we are in California. Being a member of a weaker house was disastrous to the social lives of the women in them at my school. They simply didn't have the opportunities stronger houses, or even non-Greeks, did. And I know this is not a popular opinion here on GC--but it is TRUE. Some schools entire social strata depends on what house you are in. And you ARE judged if you are in what is defined as the "wrong" house.
Yes, sisterhood is for a lifetime and college is just for 4 years, but, as a sophomore, you know the climate of the campus and know what is best for you. And having been on a campus with a similar climate myself, I understand your motivations and support them.
I hope Kappa comes through for you as that sounds like it could be wonderful! But know that if Kappa does not, you wil lhave a marvelous remaining 3 years with or without a sorority!
Good luck!
Amy
