You can't help it if you got sick. Just go to a college you can handle & still get plenty of rest. Community college is fine, even for 3-4 years, if you need to. Take care of yourself! It's not a big race!!

What you are experiencing is a lot like the child who says they are going to be a doctor when they grow up, but then as they get older, it becomes apparent that medicine is not really something they are destined for and their parents are disappointed despite the fact that what they ARE doing is worthwhile. Things change. You have overcome some major hardships with your health, and while at the beginning of high school those challenges couldn't have been predicted, by now your father is probably mostly grateful that you are alive and reasonably healthy. Sure, he would have liked it if you had pledged Delta Sigma Theta, but it isn't the most important thing in the world; other things have taken priority.
I am assuming that you still plan to go to college, even if it means starting out at a community college. I agree with you that you need to focus on your studies right now to ensure that you succeed. I suspect that your father knows that you care about him and that you are doing your best. You might do things to make sure that he realizes how much he means to you and that you value what is important to him, but try not to feel guilty about what you can't control. That you are not exactly the person you thought you would be four years ago isn't all that surprising; it happens to most people.

Apply to community college and then transfer to a 4 yr institution afterwards. You can seek membership once you get into the 4 yr school, provided you have a good gpa, the college has deltas. If not, once you graduate you can try on the alumnae level.
But do not join any organization just because someone tells you to. Thoroughly research each greek organization.

Dont do something just to please your dad, you will end up making yourself miserable. I know, I have done this.
