I believe she only mentioned Xi Omega as an up and coming national. Did she actually say she was affiliated?

As carnation , i am an Arkansas Alum too , and the only NPC at arkansas is CHI omega ( because it was founded at Arkansas) and the only other similar sounding chapter t here is the christian group CHi Alpha.

We actually have a poster here who was able to do that. I haven't seen Rachel around in awhile though...

My understanding is that if you are an INITIATED member of one NPC group, then you could NOT join another NPC group.

So even if Xi Omega is an "up and coming" national organization, it is not a member of the NPC, therefore those members would be free to join and NPC organization.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I am not a member of Xi Omega. but some girls I know on campus throught the BCM have started it as a christian glo. I thought they said they had 3 on those campuses already with ASU being the third? Sorry if I had misinformation.

About my sisters not caring I don't know if they just want to hush their mistake so other GLOs on campus dont know or what! It makes me angry. This girl was our pledge sister. She went through everything with us, and now we are members then she isn't here. We deserve someone to sit with us and explain why this happened.

The way I always understood it, if someone was initiated into a local sorority at one school, transferred, and joined a national group, that's A-OK because only one is an NPC group. And vice versa; members of national groups can be initiated into local groups. For example, I'm already a Delta Zeta, but if I had transferred to a university that had local groups, I could've been initiated into a local if they agreed to it...I guess it's up to the individual organization. I know you can't be initiated into two NPCs, though.

I don't really understand whether that's the situation we're talking about here or not. I can understand that being initiated into two sororities, local or national, might not sit well with some people even though there might not be any real rules to prohibit it. At any rate, I'm sure the situation is being handled by the officers, which is probably why nobody is saying anything about it. It's best not to discuss sticky business like this until everything is worked out.

I'm confused....
 

In your first post you said she had been initiated into one chapter, then initiated into yours (as a NM sister).

Your post above mentioned that she's not around anymore. Does this mean that she's no longer a sister (been excused, disaffiliated, kicked out, whatever you call it)?

If her membership has been terminated, then I can understand why your chapter sisters are telling you to stay quiet. First of all, it's not something anyone else should discuss with you EXCEPT for the person who was terminated (confidentiality and all that). Secondly, depending on the situation, you may not want the whole campus to know about it. Things can happen quickly at large schools like U of A, and it's always best to keep chapter operations "under your hat".

In any case, you've learned a valuable lesson in all of this....if you have doubts, check it out! Don't always assume that it's someone else's responsibility. Either work with that person (or entity, like CPH) until you get the information you need, or get the information yourself.

...and GO HOGS!

Just to answer a previous question, if she did indeed initiate into BOTH NPC sororities, she will have her membership revoked in both and not be in any NPC sorority, ever. That is our policy.

That being that, have you even bothered talking to her? You may be all in an uproar over nothing.

Lastly, did you like her and get to know her while pledging? If so, them maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge her so harshly.She is the same person. It is possible she didn't understand the rules, it happens.

Agreed. Get all the facts before you jump to conclusions. Call your friend up and nicely ask her what happened. You may not have all the information.

No more information is needed.



Clearly, she's a witch.









Burn Her!
Burn Her!!
Burn Her!!!

Russ, have you been dipping into the Manischewitz again? ;)

Kosher wine? You jest. Have you tasted the stuff? Blech

Yes, I spent many a Friday night dinner passed out under the table.... at the age of nine. :)

Must have been interesting to be a child prodigy. ;)

LOL. Yes, I credit the inspiration gleaned in those early years with my wisdom and maturity today.

To summarize, get the facts before you badmouth your sorority or your former sister. You don't know all the details, and Greek Chat is not the place where you can get the answers. We're not in your chapter, and we don't know the story. Talk to your sisters. Trust your sisters.
