Yes, the picnic was great! Perfect weather - although I wish I had worn shorts or a skirt! It was fun to meet Cream ans ZTAMich! And the other ladies were really nice, too. Cream and I did an excellent job of eating brownies!!! :p

I went to yahoogroups to check out what has been going on with NYCPanhelAlum. I was taken to a page that reads,"There is no group called NYCPanhelAlum." Does anyone know anything about this?
:confused:

There was some drama apparently and the list moderator said she was ending the list. Apparently people were arguing off the list and debating the purpose of the list and the approrpiateness of various emails. I didn't save the e-mails though so I don't remember but I don't see how this won't really hurt the group considering how much they were off the radar when they had the list serve. Personally I don't remember the emails being too excessive but there are always people that complain if they get one email every month that they aren't interested in.

I get the daily digest version. I guess the last one was a couple of days ago. I just don't see the point of discontinuing the list because a few people actually used the list. It is kind of weird that one person would do that without informing everyone. Or did she and I didn't get the email?

The list moderator should have changed the group's settings to "moderated," to keep out the drama and/or turned it over to someone else. There is value in a list that is built up over time, and now it is gone.

Anyway, maybe Peaches-n-Cream can start a new one.:D

lol :p KDOnline started a great list for sorority alumnae.

I just was wondering what happened. I met some very nice people at their Happy Hour and the picnic in Central Park in September, including some GCers. Not much happened after that.

AEPhiSierra is right. Leave it to NYC Sorority girls to complain and get an email list deleted. :rolleyes: What stinks is the website for the list on yahoogroups had a list of the officers & their emails which was pretty usefull to have.

I got daily msgs but deleted ones that weren't for "official business" Don't know why others couldn't just do the same and move on...

Hopefully our org reps keep us all up-to-date!

Bah! I read that email...I liked having career and networking information on there...what I couldn't use, I normally forwarded to other people who might be interested. Isn't that what helping each other is about? :confused:

I saved the email with the officers if you ever need it.

I definitely agree the list was useful. The one thing fraternities and HBGLO's have over NPC sororities (at least from my experience) is they definitely appreciate the importance of networking a lot more. If the NYC Panhel was just about meeting up for cocktails and picnics no one would join, its about networking and making connections.

It's funny, I just read these posts about the NYC Panhel list. I am one of the people that had issues with the "drama" in the list. I also have a Networking Group for Social Work. Apparently, posting about my group once a month (along with others postings looking for apartments and eyebrow waxers) was a bit too much for several ladies (who didn't identify themselves of course) to take. I got about 7 emails off-list "slamming" me for my posts. I just don't get the rudeness that goes on through email and the reason for it it all. I was under the assumption that an email listserv like that WAS for networking purposes, with the common bond of "greekhood". Because of the actions of these "ladies" I have a feeling that doesn't sit well about this group, which is sad, because I am sure overall, it is a great group of women. I think personally listservs are a wonderful means of communication, especially in terms of networking, apartment hunting, etc. They are a great way to help others out. And my motto always is regarding emails "if it doesn't apply let it fly" and just delete. Our personal listserv for MetroDPhiE is very very active with multiple emails per day. Many women have signed up for daily digest or reading messages on the site only because of this reason. Oh well, what are we going to do. People will always be catty I guess. I would like to eventually give this group another chance because I would like to meet other women in the NYC area with similar interests. Allison

Eh, I would probably join.

Not that I don't like networking. I do! But I also heart cocktails and picnics.

winneythepooh7 just started a new yahoogroup. To join send an email to:

I just received this from my alumnae association. Is anyone going to this?

Attention Panhellenic Delegates:

We are set to have the general meeting on Tuesday, May 18 at 7:00 PM @ Kanvas (219 9th Avenue). They will set aside a nice section for us upstairs. We can open this up at 8pm for a happy hour and they will give us $3 bottles and half price martinis! We look forward to seeing all of you there!!

BUMP!

Is anyone going to the general meeting tonight?

KD National Women's Friendship Day Picnic takes place in Central Park at 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue on Sunday from 2 to 4. Bring your own lunch, and they will provide dessert.

I'm going. Will anyone else be there? I want to eat brownies with ZTAMich and XOKathy again. ;)

I wasn't planning on it but just remembered that football season started so my boy may not wanna hang out on that day. Maybe I'll come. I'd love to meet some other GC'ers.

Awww yeah that was a fun afternoon last year!! :) I'll be on a bus back to NYC from Atlantic City tho. :( Going down Sat for The Miss America Pagent with a Zeta I know here from my alumnae group. You know how we feel about crowns & tiaras! Hope the weather is great for a picnic! :cool:

I'm sad that you can't attend, but have fun in Atlantic City. Say hi to James! ;)

Anyone else? paging xokathy...paging Munchkin... :)

Anyone else going?

Tomorrow is Met rooftop. Maybe I'll go, maybe not. It depends on the weather.

I have tried to attend this twice, and both times the rooftop was closed. :( Maybe you will have better luck than I did.

I hope the weather is nice on Sunday for the KD picnic. :)

MET
 

I'm a big maybe for the Met tomorrow. Gotta save my money for AC Saturday. :rolleyes:

ditto. i was quite upset...the forcast is calling for the possibility of rain tomorrow.

me? i'll be on my way to AC. not for the pagent

I really do hope the weather will be nice Sunday! =)
Yeah for KD!

I didn't know that the Met was today. I planned a Happy Hour for our alumnae association but others are welcome to attend. If it rains or you just don't feel like going to the Met you ladies are more then welcome to join us. We will be at Jameson's which is on 2nd ave. I believe the cross street is 57th!

I am so excited - I am going to be AEPhi's delegate to the NYC Alumnae Panhel! I am going to be Alum in like 2 months so they said I can do it. Anyone else still involved b/c haven't really heard anything about it for a few months.

Congratulations!!!! :)
