Hey everyone. I've been a half silent/half active observer on this site for sometime now. I have an ISSUE, and I need a lil' feed back from you ladies, just to see what you all think about it.

I have a chance to study abroad in Bath, England in Spr. 2002. But in that same semester, I had set to go ahead and formally announce my interest in a certain BGL sorority.

Now, both of these opportunities are very important to me. The England excursion is pretty much a once in a life time deal which would greatly advance my marketability in the theatre arts field, and applying for intake after Spr. 2002 is something that would be undesirable, because even if I did make it, I'd be a senior.

Applying for Alumni membership MIGHT work, but it would be a few more years down the road, until I get settled after graduation and would be able to put more of a commitment into it.

So, what would you do? I have my mind PARTLY made up. Going to England for a semester is I'd be an idiot to say no, but I've also put MASSIVE amounts of time, and loads of effort into making sure that the ladies (the whole chapter, past and present) on my campus know who I am, what I'm about, and how I go about taking care of business. I am quite aware that this doesn't guarentee me the opportunity to participate in intake, but that's the chance that all interests take...

All feedback is welcome.

The Sororities ain't(yeah I said ain't) going nowhere no time soon(unless they are being investigated now)so go to England, have a good time, become more inviting for the Sorority of choice.....We all love interested ladies with some "bite"...meaning something to offer us!! The opportunity may not present itself again!!To go to England that is

Thanks so much for the feed back. On some of the other broads, I wasn't able to say "Thanks" (so if any ladies from the other boards see this, thank you too), because my post had been put on lock down. I have pretty much made up my mind, but, i just wanted to see what others thought about it. Education, of course, is important. It's just the option of studying else where that is the issue. I'm going to graduate regardless of if it's here in the US...or over seas. Once again...THANKS!

I just want to say that you are in college to further your education and that should be your primary goal. Like you said, going to England will be a once in a lifetime thing don't miss out on that great opportunity. The organization that you want to join will be here and you always have the option of joining through a graduate chapter.
It sounds to me that you already know what you want to do, so I'll reinforce it and say go to England. It's beautiful in the springtime.
