Baby, I got your money don't you worry. :(

I would've sponsored ODB for alumna initiation if he were a woman. And alive, of course. I could see how he might not do well in formal recruitment, but really, any sorority should be honored to have the chance to snap him up!

I was having a blonde day yesterday and read all the way through this thread (somehow I missed it the first time around) before I realized it was two years old! Duhhh. I was looking for an update and all kinds of stuff and then saw the dates. Chalk one up for the blonde day!

sorry sorry
 

i know it wasnt exactly timely to bump this thread... except perhaps in terms of references to the beloved and dearly departed ODB, but...


i hadnt read this thread and when i did a few days ago i realized that i KNOW this girl, really well actually. she eventually joined APO and loves it....

so it wasn't about sharing the gory details of her particular story. i was just pretty shocked at how many people told her to COB, AI, etc... when in reality at USC that is a recipe for futility. i just wanted to gently admonish the well-wishing smoke blowers who protracted her suffering.... yes, maybe it did give me that special feeling (!)

sorry if it was more than a little belated.

Pay no attention to those giving you crap for bumping a two year old thread. People do it all the time. :rolleyes:

Thank you for giving us an update about your friend. We're glad she found a home in APO!

I think bumping this thread is a great reminder of being mindful and knowing when to back off, especially at a campus like USC. amycat, who's been through USC sorority life both as a collegian and an alumna, knows all too well about successful and disastrous USC rushes.

So don't apologize because you didn't do anything wrong. In fact, I think you've done us all a favor.

Well, in light of the tone of your previous posts, your motives just didn't seem all that altruistic.

and if you think THIS was a blowing sunshine thread, this is NOTHING.

She went through rush once, it didn't work out, and we - including women who are USC alums and still know what is going on with the system - told her to stay open to COB. It wasn't like this was her third or fourth time going through. And I don't think anyone on this thread called the Greek Life office to see what happened (yes, this has happened on GC before).

I am very glad that Enna is now one of my APO brothers. :)

I am glad she found her home in APO. Yay for happy Brothers!

I read about half of this thread without noticing it was 2 years old...but it read like a book! I enjoyed reading about her experience since I'm going to do informal rush this spring at my school...
