Looking back, were you right?

I'm going to comment on the last two posts (the last two posters are also Pi Beta Phis).

First, I agree with Carnation that I could have been happy at several other chapters. I has a difficult time deciding between my first and second choice chapters, and could have been happy at either. I had lots of friends in "the other house." I might have even been happy with my third choice. I always remember the conversation several of my sisters and I had once on this topic. One of my sisters said, "Sometimes I wonder if I'd been a -- instead of a Pi Phi. I think that I'd be an entirely different person than I am now." Most people could fit into more than one chapter on any given campus. Some chapters are much more diverse than others, and can encompass very different personality types.

But I also agree with the last poster. I, too am most definitely a Pi Beta Phi. And just like you, I am very proud of it. Looking back, I would not have changed anything about my experiences. You can always play the "What If" game. However, the best GLO will always be your own. Before I went Greek, I could not undertand this, even when my best friend tried to tell me. It all goes back to the "on the outside, looking in" versus the "once on the inside, total understanding" theory. You have to be Greek and have your own Greek experience to understand just how special your own chapter really is.
