Advice
Hey!
So, I am about to go through formal rush and I feel like I am in an awkward position. Essentially last year I accepted a bid from an amazing sorority that I really felt I clicked with. However about four weeks in I decided to not follow through with initiation because my great-grandmother passed away and there were a few other personal events that made me unsure of whether or not I would return to the university. (A month later after watching my PC spill out of the building from one of their events, I immediately realized I was an idiot and made the biggest mistake of my life.. buut thats another story). Anyway, I never officially sat down and spoke with someone and it was all very unofficial - I still have my pledge pin, my new member book, and letters - but I found out this week that I was actually formally depledged and that I could not renew my bid and consequently my best and only option was to go back through formal recruitment and let mutual selection work itself out. So my question is would it be too straightforward to say that I really feel like XYZ sorority stole my heart from the beginning and discuss my experience last year (p.s. really anxious, because I don't know whether the whole sorority knows the situation or only exec does... I mean are they going to have special questions prepared for me?) Will I seem obnoxious by saying that they stole my heart and that I really feel like XYZ sorority is my 'home.' Its only been about five days since I found out that I have to go through formal and I am totally freaking out. I really just love this sorority and its values are really special to me - I was kind of crushed when I heard that I was actually depledged because at heart I still felt like I was one of them -Is that lame? Anyway, any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. I am sooo nervous but so excited at the same time and I cannot wait till bid day. (only 5 more daaaysss!!)
