to be or tutubi?

at my age now, i should no longer think about these things... this concern is rather juvenille... but the decision i make could ultimately be life changing... basiclly, i do not know if i should join a frat/soro this time... funny thing is, it could be quite good for me in the long run but you see, i might not even reahc the "long run" if the initiation process is too costly... getz? no?

well, as we all know, amuyong stage is kapoy. its the most demanding part of joining a sorority. and in law school every waking moment is precious. your time, if not used for studying or school survival related endeavors, should be spent on rest and relaxation, and finally, if you can afford it, fun. being an amuyong means you have to be on-call 24/7 for a full month at least. what time will you have for study, rest or fun??? barely any... its costly. it might cost you everything. it might even be the barrier between you and passing and ultimately graduating on time.

i just dont know if im willing to risk it. after all, im perfectly happy with my sorority...

another thing is, i currently hold a key position in the alumni assoc of my soro. it would be rather unethical if i was head of one and amuyong of another. bad timing...

timing is so off this time... i was absent on the day they held interviews. and the time they had oath taking, i had to be at a sorority dinner. on the day they brief you for service, i have a family thing. on the first official day of service, i have to be with brods again on a trip i cannot cancel. if superstition was a factor, i'd say fate is telling me not to do it. the funny thing is, i seem to have soro commitments on days when i could be pledging to the org.

so finally, i guess my decision has already been made for me... and that is not to join this time.
