Okay I have to ask

Shmogan09 · November 2012

After finding out that Sooner and I were both Gamma Phi's Sleep I have to ask, were you greek? I couldn't make this a cp because there are way too many sororities to name!

That said I actually have no idea how to make a cp! haha!

Same here. It's just not that big of a deal here (at least in my part of Canada). At my university, there were a few when I was there, but the majority of the school population was not interested.

My oldest sister was a kappa delta. That's all I got.

bethanyturon · November 2012

Nope, wasn't interested.

I only went to college for half a semester, so I am not a Greek.

My PTSD from my dad's abuse and beating me up had just hit in full force, and it was all I could do to keep myself together. I had to get help and work on myself before I could focus on anything as demanding as college.

I always feel the need to explain my reasoning behind not going to college. I don't regret my decisions, but I always feel so judged.

I always feel judged for going and then being a SAHM. People regularly say to me "why did you waste the money?" You know, because it was their money and all Hmm

I am so sorry you went through what you did, you should feel so proud that you survived and are a happy, healthy wife and mother! Who cares about college.

You shouldn't feel judged. You had to do what was best for you at the time.

Oh, Lancy, I so completely understand this. While I didn't have something so severe as your situation, I was hit with major depression in college. It hit me hard for two years before I just had to withdraw from school. I'm still trying to finish my degree. I always feel like I have to explain to people and yet I don't feel like sharing either. I went from being the President of multiple clubs (including National Honor Society) and an honor roll student to a college drop-out. It still makes me sad when I think about what depression took from my life. Hugs to you!!!

And sorry for the post hi-jack, OP!!!

This happened to me, too. Except I wasn't smart enough to decide on my own to quit and take some time to get healthy, I failed out. I went from one of the top GPAs in my huge, competitive high school to a college failure. That's why I'm almost 29 and just finished my associates. I get sad sometimes that because it took me so long I'll be almost 40 before I finish all the schooling that I want to do. But battling mental health problems is really hard, so it's not something to be ashamed of. I don't tell people IRL that wouldn't already know though. If they judge me they can shove it.

Delta Delta Delta

bikitybinx · November 2012

I was in a local sorority - Omicron Omega Nu (terrible letters if you've ever seen Porky's, the founders pulled letters out of a hat and that's how they came out). As a local we had difficulty recruiting, competing against nationals who had tons more money than us. We tried to go national and after reviewing a few that were interested in expanding at my school we chose Alpha Delta Pi - it almost happened and then they pulled out last minute.

This exactly. It. wasn't the "cool" thing. Not that I'm the judge of "cool", I was the History Club president
