Em,

That's great about the COB's!

I just hope we have enough money in the budget to handle more angels :D

Well we had our COB party tonight, and only 2 girls came out
It was upsetting considering that we were supposed to have 5 or six out tonight, but our chapter is always recruiting. I just wish there was more we could do. Our chapter works so hard to get people to come out, but because of the anti-greek sentiment and the ridiculous rules by the CSA we are so limited in what we can do. It is deiscouraging but we are always working and i am so proud of my sisters for all the hard we're doing.

Anyway, that was my update.

PPL,

Amazing
 

Your chapter has an amazing story. I am proud of you, keeping on through all that anti-greek sentiment.

Keep it up, and remember to have fun once in a while. As I well know from my chapter, non-stop recruiting can sometimes get you down.

I wanted to add something about that rule... That's crazy!!! You guys should introduce yourselves as a women's intramural team so they can't kick you off campus. lol. Maybe not, but I am surprised they get away with it. What does Pi Phi HQ say about it? Can they help you at all?

ll,

Well the story I have heard is that apparently we were given club status a few years ago but somehow those meeting minutes mysteriously disappeared, and of course they don't want to give us club status. Anyway, our CPP is coming some time this semester to have a meeting with our CSA. I hope things go well. Actually one of the guys running for communications officer was apparently a Beta (our last remaining Beta...we used to have a chapter but it folded) and he was a good shot at helping us get club status. I voted for him, but he wasn't elected. I believe our entire chapter voted for him if they did vote. Anyway, hoepfully our CPP will have some success with the CSA. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Our last COB party we didn't get anygirls, but that's okay. We're having lunch witha few more feshman COBs this afternoon. I have never met them before but our President has and she seems really excited about them, so I'm looking forward to this. I think COB is more stressful than formal rush. We're having events left right and centre, it's so hard to find time to fit them in. But I manage and it's totally worth it. Well I should run off to class.

Emily when is formal rush at UofT? UBC just finished ours last weekend.

Lady Pi Phi might not know... she is a U of Guelph Pi Phi.... however formal rush here a U of T was the 3rd week of Sept, with the bids being on the Thursday.

It looks like 5 of the 7 houses here made quota, but they always do well when it comes to the open bidding... most houses end up with 8-12 new members in the first term.
