Instead of suggesting AI, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the discussion in the Alumnae Initiation forum. THX.
I am making a rule that anyone on GC who suggests AI will henceforth be responsible for sponsoring the person they suggest it to for their own sorority. If their sorority does not do AI, or if they are in a fraternity, then they are no longer allowed to reply regarding AI matters.

The original poster came to ask a question about the campus I rushed at. I know, therefore I told her my advice. That's all end of subject, but no, this has to be strung out just like the rest of the GC posts. Goodnight.

I didn't realize that the Greek Village was finished, because it was still showing "Under Construction" when I was at a construction seminar there TWO WEEKS AGO. If they have moved in, it's been very recent, so you know what? Stop acting like you have no idea WTF I'm talking about. I've never gone to school in NC, but I do live in the Charlotte area (which means I know plenty of UNCC students and alum) and one of my very good friends is a staff member there. GET OVER YOURSELF. How's that for caps?

Oh, and as for soing my research - not interested.:p

ETA: For the record, I was actually talking about the dorm at the very front of campus that they sororities were housed in no less than three years ago. I remember my first trip to the campus in 2004 noticing the dorm with all the sorority letters in the window.

Ok if you say so. The Greek Village has been finished for at least a year. They are newer per say, but not brand new. I know a lot of people there as well and that's not the information I have. Personally I have been in the houses last summer, speaking from experience I know they are finished.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! ALPHA FROG DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SPEAKING ABOUT A SUBJECT AT A COLLEGE YOU HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT!! I am so shocked that you would even give her false info for her to follow. All hail to UNC CH UGH enough!! No UNCC isn't like UNC-CH. For one the students aren't stuck up and think they are God's gift to the entire world just because their basketball team won a few cough championships. Congrats UNC .. you get the biggest prize for having convicts wear your school's paraphernalia. Enough about that rant. THE TRUTH IS THAT UNCC HAS A GREAT GREEK VILLAGE, HOUSING ALL OF THE NPC SORORITIES. AND AS FAR AS I KNOW IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE THERE UNLESS THERE ARE EMPTY ROOMS. THE UNIVERSITY OWNS ALL OF THE GREEK HOUSES. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME JUST DIFFERENT LETTERS ON EACH. BOTTOM LINE, JUST CALL THE OFFICE LIKE I SAID TO. DON'T LISTEN TO THE REST OF THESE IDIOTS WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND THAT WANT TO START A ARGUMENT ABOUT EVERYTHING ON GC. AND PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Ok, so she misspoke about what the housing was, that wasn't the point of her message. You went WAY over the edge with the caps and the freaking out. And by the way, for someone who screamed so loud defending UNCC and singing its praises...

Um, yeah.

For the record? SENTENCES OF CAPS LOCK = SCREAMING.

I don't want to put you down PeppyGPhiB, one of my best friends is one of your sisters, but perhaps you're the slow one. Or maybe you need to keep your nose out of where is doesn't belong; such as this. Last time I checked UNCC doesn't have a GPhiB chapter :rolleyes:.
For the record: HELL NO I did not go to UNCC, and I'm not sorry about that one bit.

I was not commenting on the housing situation at UN-whatever-branch-campus. I was commenting on your needlessly rude response to Alpha Frog who offered a very polite reply to the OP...also on your lack of reading comprehension. Both the OP's, AF's and your responses all took place here on GreekChat, not at UNCCCHNCST, so I guess I'm perfectly within my "comment" jurisdiction.

Wow. A whole year? Damn, they're practically antiques. They better get started on some new housing, stat. No one will ever want to live in those old pieces of crap.:rolleyes:

Right here. And, completely amazed... You'd think when someone makes a mistake they would put their big girl pants on and admit it. I guess I will have to apologize for my sister's behavior.

AlphaFrog makes a kind post for once and she gets bitched at! ;) The nerve!

Welcome back, Jess!

DMBabyZTA---

You made a mistake. Stop. You are being rude to people for no GOOD reason. SCREAMING AT PEOPLE TENDS TO RUB THEM THE WRONG WAY. YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR INTENTS GET LOST IN THE PROCESS.

I am sure your intention was not to be rude to people. But, that is how it is definitely coming off, especially in some of your comments. If you cannot refrain from insulting people, who happen to be my friends, perhaps you might consider limiting your posting to our thread...

I don't feel like anything I have said was rude, sorry if any of you have taken offense to my posts. On the other hand if you look at what OTW has said to the girl who started this thread, i'd say she was pretty damn rude, ugly, mean whatever you want to call it. So sorry I will leave your thread alone, like I said I have better things to do.

I called her out for reasons previously stated.

You're just an idiot who can't admit she was wrong.

Hi.
I'm new here and figured that this is where I need to come for help.
I am 35 years old, married, and have an 8 year old son. I just completed
my Associate's degree and I am continuing at a state university next month, for my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. The reason why it took me so long to get this far is that I have always had to support myself from 18 years old and on. I have had to provide a home for myself
and work full time in order to supprt myself. I have worked very hard these past several years and feel that I have just a little more to go. I will be attending full time and working full time as well. I don not feel like a typical 35 year old and feel as if my heart is very young. I am thrilled to be finishing up my undergraduate career and would also like to fully experience college the right way. I have always wanted to join a sorority, and wonder if this might be the time that I would be able to do that. I admire the sisterhood of sororities and would like to be a part of that.
I am proud to be attending a great university and would love for to make a sorority part of my life. If anyone can respond and tell me your thoughts and even what advice you might have , I have both ears open. Also, if there is a particular sorority that you might know of that might have a member/ members my age, I would love to find out which they are.
I will be attending UNC Charlotte and at this moment cannot recall the sororities by name. If anyone could shed some light here, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!
OK, let me be real here for a second... You have a son. You cannot tell me that spending time doing collegiate activites is more important than spending time with your son.

You are wanting something that you didn't get the chance to do way back when. That train has passed. Life isn't fair. I wanted to be a model, but God made me 5'4"... We all have things we regret not having the chance to do.

BUT, I am telling you that raising your son should be more important than rush activities and Grab-a-dates. ESPECIALLY if you are, as you say, working full-time, as well. Flat out-- you will be cheating your son in order to be a kid again.

Take your rude ass out of here. Geez, we'll take anyone these days.

I'm going to quietly add my .02 here.

To the OP: I get the feeling that all you are looking for is someone to validate what you are trying to do and completely disregarding those who are telling you there is a very real possibility that 18-22 single college kids may not think that a 35-yr old married mother would be a good fit with the chapter. I can assure you they are not posting that to put you down, or make you feel bad about yourself, or anything, they just want to prepare you for the reality that there is a VERY good chance you will not get a bid instead of telling you what you seem to want to hear and making you get your hopes up for something that may not happen. Hell, they even gave you some alternatives to consider (service GLOs, professional GLOs, or even groups like Beta Sigma Phi) that all offer sisterhood in addition to their service, etc.

DMBabyZTA - you need to simmer down sweetie. And just a FYI, in teh interwebz, TEXT IN CAPS LOCK = YELLING. Please refer to "Common characteristics" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette

You have already gone above and beyond in the "apologizing for your sisters" department, you're a better woman than I am in that regard.

Welcome back, Jess!
But, I TOTALLY gave her wrong info. Those dorms are SOOOO last year.


And, for clarification's sake, the reason why I said what I said about the population of UNCC is that every alum of UNCC I personally know went there as a non-Trad, and when I go to concerts there, 99.99999999% of the band/orchestra/choir's hometowns are listed as Charlotte, NC/Matthews, NC/Concord, NC/Lake Norman, NC. Plus, the dorms are disproportionate to the number of students at a typical State 4-year school.
