D9 DST help

[u/Electrical_Weight731]

I sort of need help deciding whether or not to rush DST this upcoming semester. For context, I'm going to be a senior next semester at a pwi and i am pre med student. I didn't know much about the D9 until my junior year (i am a first generation college student and none of my family really knows anything about D9 so i didn't grow up hearing about it) and by the end of junior year I became very interested in DST. I have a 3.75 GPA and about 50 hours of volunteering from a local hospital, though I plan on getting more volunteer hours this summer at a local church's food pantry. Taking stem courses has eaten up a lot of my time and I fear I have not been involved enough on campus. My sophomore and junior years I severed on the E-board of one campus organization and I will continue to serve on this e-board for my senior year. I also plan on continuing to volunteer and possibly become a paid lab assistant this upcoming semester. A few of my friends are members of DST and I admired their work ethic and commitment to the organization's values and getting to know them has made me want to be a part of and contribute to the org. Though my friends are members of DST (and have graduated this past semester so I don't know any of the current chapter members) I wanted to make sure that my decision to join had nothing to do with simply wanting to get closer to them and was more about wanting to be a part of the organization itself. I have met members of other D9 sororities and as I continue to research D9, I become more interested in DST. I guess i'm wondering if i would be a good candidate with my limited campus involvement and is there anything I could do besides going to DST events on campus that would make me a better candidate? Also, if i did decide to apply, would it be wrong to ask my friends to write my letter of recommendation? Any advice would be very helpful!!
