Awesome Kendra! Can't wait to hear about your invites.

Bad news...

I got one invite today.. from the sorority I dont want to join.
I've decided to drop out of recruitment. I've been having second thoughts and I'm thinking, maybe all of this is not for me. I may check out one of the social/service groups on 9/21, I may do AI, but I'm okay

Sweetheart!!! I understand your decision, but I also am going to personally encourage you to give that one sorority one last shot. You never know how things sometimes change. They obviously see something in you or they wouldn't invited you back!

I sorry things didnt work out. I truly believe that everyone has their place in campus and maybe yours is a service sorority or even being independent. Whatever happens, just remember that not being in a sorority isnt the end of the world and there are tons of other groups out there. Most of all, remember to ENJOY your college experience!!!

First off, I'm glad to hear the words "I'm okay". I know this is a tough thing to handle, and I want to wish you the best of luck in finding the organization that you fit well with. Please keep us updated...we're all here for you!

Kendra, I'm sorry things didn't work out with NPC rush. There are so many things to get involved in at Penn State, it's mind boggling...one way or another, your place is out there. Good luck!

LionTamer · #**142** 09-16-2003, 05:39 PM

I can't say it any better than 33girl. If you didn't like your last choice, you probably have your reasons, and there are just SO many other great opportunities at Penn State, good on you for seizing them while you're there.

Stay strong, you have a lot of friends out here in e-world that you've never met that are thinking about you right now and sending good thoughts your way.

Thanks for all of the replies!

I prayed last night about rush and I prayed that if the Lord did not want me to join any of the sororities I that I liked last round that I would get cut from all of them. I liked my top 3, but I seriously don't think I would have been completely happy in any of them. Unlike the other junior rushees, I've been up here before, I have a support network already, being in a sorority would have been icing on the cake. So now, I'm going to check into Gamma Sig, 2 of the locals and see what they are about. Maybe I'll join, maybe I won't, but I'm still going to be in CCC, Blue and White society and involved in Thon

I've decided to check out Gamma Sig, a local, and Alpha Phi Omega since I'm really interested in doing service. Tonight is an APO rush meeting so I'm going to hurry over there and see whats going on. I'll let u in on any thing that happens..

mmcat · #**148** 09-16-2003, 07:35 PM

Kendra, I have been admiring your signature since you've been beginning to post. Obviously, your prayer has been answered, and that's what's important - what's best for Kendra. I'm sure you know that COB is always an option, but I won't harp on that right now.

I will, however, hope that you keep posting throughout GreekChat! Your posts are fun and thoughtful, and I know that I would surely miss you if you "disappeared".

Whichever path you choose, I pray that you are blessed!

I went to an Alpha Phi Omega rush meeting today and I LOVED IT!!! I felt more comfortable there than in all of the rush parties I went to during rush. I think I may have found my niche! I plan to check out local I'm interested in, but I think I'll pledge APO, see how it is! I just saw the flyer for their rush 20 mins before the meeting started and after heading over there and meeting the brothers, I felt like I was at home. My heart is in philantrophy and since APO is mainly philantrophy, I think this is the best place for me.
