I think it has been very hard trying to keep an open mind about sororities, but I’m trying to work on it. One of my regrets from rushing last year was that I didn’t have enough of an open mind. It’s been very hard trying to get past the idea that people “know that it’s their home as soon as they walked in.” A lot of girls I talked to (both during and not during recruitment) said they experienced this, so I think I just kept my expectations WAY too high last year (and even this year). But I knew I could not see myself with the 2 houses I had left after sisterhood (I had not-so-great times at both and it was very awkward and strained). I know that these are homes for many girls, but I knew it wasn’t the home for me. And I had a really good GPA both this year and last year. Unfortunately, and this is my biggest regret of this year, I wasn’t as involved on campus as I should have been. I went through a really hard time first semester, and most days, it was hard for me to even get out of bed. I’m trying to get better, though. But I didn’t want to tell people this when I was rushing because I’m still embarrassed about it and that’s a lot of very personal information when meeting someone for the first time. And I don’t know a lot of girls from sororities, but I knew girls from two sororities. I was really good friends with one in high school, and I ended up getting to know some of her friends from her sorority — I was even in a class with one of them and we would always sit together and talk. My friend even gave me a little “boost” (idk how to describe it) in my score because she was good friends with me. But both of the chapters that I had friends in dropped me after the first round. So, I’m really hoping that some chapters go through informal so I can give Greek life one more shot. I know that it’s not the end of the world if I don’t end up joining a sorority, but my mom and older sister have really tried to help me and have really reiterated that they want me to be in a sorority (they both were in one in college and loved it). I feel like I’m letting both myself and them down when I didn’t join a sorority. I don’t know how to describe it very well. I just really want to join because Greek life is really important for my family. Sorry this is so long haha
