Ok ADPIUCF I know you do not agree with my decision. I am not trying to be rude but I feel you say things that are mean when you don't really know me. Maybe I just read it wrong (and I hope thats the case), but this was not the only time you and others have done this. There is very few people who ACTUALLY know me in real life and those people understand my decisions. For me I did what I wanted to and did not listen to my gut. I got down there and am not happy. I have prayed about my decisions, talked it over with my parents, and AM finally at peace with my decision. I also believe I need a semester off because I have been running full tilt through college and am getting burned out. I know you might not agree with my decision, but as nicely as I can I DON'T CARE! This school might have been right for you and my sister, but is not RIGHT FOR ME! Again I am not trying to rude or bitchy, but I feel I have to justify my decisions to everyone and its getting old. I still respect Greek Life very much and will probably rush again, even though my mom is not real keen on the idea because she is afraid I will get rejected again. I know this is a VERY BIG probability, but I know so much more now then I knew then and plan on going in with a different perspective. Thats it and I have to run[/QUOTE]
First of all, I was addressing EGAOPi. As a new poster she's been replying to older threads and I wanted to give her a heads-up. You were bummed about recruitment and it seemed unecessary to dredge up this thread. So excuse me.
Second, you are the one putting yourself on the internet and sharing your information. I don't put much concern into why you're leaving your university-- it has nothing to do with me. LOL. You have your reasons, the means and the motivation. So do it.
Third, there's no need to feel like you have to justify yourself to internet handles. That being said, you've shared so much information about your thougths and feelings on GC that of course people are going to draw conclusions, correct or not. Clearly you do care what a bunch of strangers think about you or you wouldn't post that kind of personal information and then feel the need to defend yourself to those strangers for any of their perceived right or wrong interpretation of your motivations.
You shouldn't feel you have to justify anything to anyone. And you shouldn't read into everything you read on Greek Chat, or care what strangers think about you transferring out after a semester.
