Thank you for answering that for me.

HA! I would'nt take you

Nice answer!:(

If the fit for you is not there, it may very well be with another GLO.

Many times if not most, The Best Foot is put forward, but when it gets down to it, things change.:( This is a give and take situation from both sides isnt it?

Please disreagard some smart and smug posts. No respect is being shown, is it?

Not everyone is exactly alike so dont try to cookie cut Associating.:eek:

Good advice.

Expelled much?

NPHC accepted your org into the conference? If the answer is NO then you are giving homegirl some messed up advise.

I still wouldn't vote on you

lol

dang, LOL

Actually, this use to happen. Two people very close to me started pledging one org, decided it was not for them and eventually went another org.

BUT this was back in the day when a major purpose of pledging was to determine if their was a fit on BOTH sides.

It was not unusual for a depledging to occur--either initiated by the pledge or by the chapter. Shoot, I lost 10 LSs within the first 2 weeks. :D

You shouldn't humiliate yourself or another organization by showing interest in it, and then dropping it because your heart wasn't in it. That's why it's important to research organizations PRIOR to joining them. No one likes a flip flopper. Look at where that got John Kerry.

My reply to your question::

Yeah, I cannot comment on whether you can or not because I'm not in an NPHC, but I depledged half-way through last semester due to numerous reasons, and I am now pledging my fraternity for life.

Four days into pledgeship is pretty quick and pretty disrespectful, in my opinion. Maybe you should give it more thought before you make such a decision. I laid out a very intricate de-pledge process and at the end, we were both on positive terms. I spoke to my Greek Life Advisor at our school as well as other advisors within student life organizations(those who are Greek). Even a representative of my past fraternity came out as I was depledging and I had a four hour discussion about the chapter and what was good vs. what went wrong. I had to make sure that I covered all my bases. Everything went smoothly and in the end, was a success.

I still hang out and talk to my old fraternity, brothers and alumni, no hard feelings there. :)

Make sure you are really wanting to depledge.. and list pros and cons to make sure you have enough to actually commit to de-pledging. Make sure you've been there long enough to make this decision with care. It's a BIG step and you do not want to burn bridges.

Make sure the next one you look at is the one you definately want to choose. Right now, if you are definately into trying to join a GLO, go out there and start talking to any other organizations you want to join, have lunch with the presidents, try to reach out and explain your situation. Get out there and show you want to still be in a GLO.

I did what I've told you and through what I did differently I found the fraternity that I am joining for life!

This is how I attacked the situation, PM me if you want to go into more depth.

I don't know why, but that was funny!

Try to stick it out longer if you can.
Because it sounds like NPHC is not an option for you if you quit, I'd look at either locals, multi-cultural or NPC orgs if you still want to be greek. National groups will be your best bet for after college interaction.
Good Luck
