Corina,

As you see from our website, we just added two new colonies late last year. I've been a member for almost a yeat, and believe me when I tell you joining Theta Nu Xi was the best thing I every did. I'm not going to try and sell you on my organization. That would be unfair. I'm glad that you are interested in my organization. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me

whoooo hooo....good news!! i am so excited for you!! i have checked out their websites before and i was very impressed!!! it sounds like an org that i would have liked to join!!! anyway, i hope things go well for you!!

yeah!!!!!
 

the old when one door closes another opens story.
this may be just the ticket....
good luck and congrats.
keep us posted.
lol
:D

YAAAAY!!! That's great news, Corina/NBO!!

this this glo a NPC sorority? I never heard of NBO before.


Laura

Do you want to start a multi-cultural? Nothing wrong with it, but that is VERY different from NPC. And I thought the whole point was to start an NPC group?

James raises an interesting point. I hope that you and your NBO Sisters strongly weigh all of your options including NPCs. It is nice that Theta Nu Xi is interested in NBO. :)

If I remember correctly, there was one point in the saga where some of the NBO ladies expressed to Corina that they wanted to consider a multi-cultural org. After some discussion, they decided to stay the course with an NPC. However, it would appear that they are revisiting the idea of affiliating with a MCGLO.


.....Kelly :)

We have decided that considering groups individually, as opposed to which category they fit into (ie NPC, etc). So basically we were so impressed with Theta Nu Xi, that the lack of NPC affiliation is not a huge problem for us. Things just didn't work out with NPC, so hopefully this will be a better fit for us.

More later.....

We offered bids to four great women tonight! Yay us!

Congrats on your 4 New Members, Corina! Look out world, NBO is growing every day!

Christin

Corina -
I think this statement sums up all the wisdom & maturity that you and your sisters have gained throughout this long process! You are a remarkable woman with great spirit and I wish you the best!!

Congrats on your new members as well

:cool:

Hi everyone,

Theta Nu Xi is sending us a declaration of interest packet, and Nicole (extension coordinator for ONE) said shes really excited about the possibiliy of expanding this far West. I'm really excited. Plus, not sure if I mentioned this, we have two more girls that we interviewed who we will be offering bids to today...if they accept then we will have a pledge class of six women, more than we've ever had! More later!

Corina

Way To Go!!
 

I've been following this thread for a long time but just never posted.

I'm glad that NBO is looking at other kinds of sororities like MGLOs, especially Theta Nu Xi--they are a great group. I hope that everything works out for ya'll! Go NBO :D

Good Luck!!!
 

I hope all works with ONE. I've read you're whole story and it really sounds like this one would be a good match for you.


Keep us posted!

Nu Beta Omicron Rocks.....Cornina did you get my Pm or not??:confused: :(

it just gets better and better...
 

and two more new girls...
corina you and your girls are on a roll.
i am so excited for you.

WOW I just finished reading the ENTIRE tread http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...ua/stongue.gif

I can't believe all of the ups and downs your group experienced. I hope everything works out with Theta Nu Xi. So what made you all decide to go with a non-NPC group? I know that you expressed the wish to be apart of a group with an big alumnae base, so I was wondering what made you decide to go with a relatively new organization?

I think they are still looking at Theta Nu Xi... they may or may not go with them.

Wow! I'm impressed and just finished reading the last page of the thread.:D

Congratulations on your pledge class. You guys are doing a great job!

Laura

Hi everyone,

Update:
Right now we are waiting to receive a Declaration of Interest packet from Theta Nu Xi. I'm not entirely sure what happens after that, but I'm assuming we fill out a bunch of forms and then they review them and then...thing happen, I dunno, I haven't gotten that far in the thought process yet. As far as people asking why we're interesting in Theta Nu Xi, as opposed to NPC groups, or groups with large alum groups. etc. I guess my best explanation is to say that I am not willing to compromise the goals or beliefs of my sorority, just to affiliate. I want to make sure that who we affiliate with matches us and our important qualities seamlessly- and the only NPC groups to do that have not been interested in us, or willing to provide us with the level of support we need to thrive. So, rather than pursue a group who's values aren't congruent with ours (which is not to say that they are wrong or "bad" values in any way) we are chosing to place our interest with a smaller group that closely parallels our own. Optimist Prime designed a coat of arms for us, and on it he wrote (in Latin) "Honor Before Glory". I think that is a really good goal for us to aim towards, and one that I hope we've been able to accomplish thus far. In related news, we officially have SIX GREAT PLEDGES! I am SO excited. We all picked out our little sis's (I don't know how to pluralize that word) and we're very happy with all of them. Unfortunately Sandy (one of my sisters who lives in the house with us) is leaving in June :(, but we will still be at a total of 11 active members then and that is a whole lot for us! I'm very happy about that. More later, nap time now.

Corina

good for you corina! it is great to hear that you are exploring all of your options. keep up the good work and have a great time with your new lil sis!!

Congrats on the 6 new pledges....I admire your dedication to start a new sorority.:D

Michelle

Woo hoo Corina!!! It's been a while since I read this thread and posted, but I just finished it, and I am so proud of you!! It takes so much courage, strength, and dedication to do what you are doing!!

You guys are awesome-and congrats on your 6 new girls!!

Wow!! I really like that. I think it really fits NBO. :D

And the members of Alpha Psi want to become Alpha Phis? I hope that doesn't happen if they are the kind of people who would choose to participate in something so completely inappropriate and disrespectful.

Anyway, Corina, you go with your bad self!!! You really are amazing!

Have you ever had one of those weeks when honestly every single possible crappy thing that could happen does? I've got no money, midterms that refuse to end (seriously, we have so many each quarter and in each class that I have at least one every single week), and a super stressful bunch of crap to deal with at work. Trying to get promoted is really much more difficult than I ever realized. And one of our pledges is apparently depledging, which is disapointing because she's an awesome girl and I was really happy she was going to become a sister. I have so much paperwork to do for Theta Nu Xi, and I don't know how I'm going to be able to get everything done! Sooooo stressed. I am really happy about the pledges we do have, and we picked little sis's recently and I'm super excited about the girl I got! More later, someone write and tell me that everything is going to be ok please :(
Corina

Everyhting will be OK. You will survive this. Even the midterms!

Corinna,
I hate to say it, but depledging happens in every org; big or small, national or local, top tier or bottom. Greek life just isn't for everyone, and some women realize that a bit later than others. Just realize that it has notion to do with your org., and there is nothing you could have done differently that would have made her stay.

Everything will be ok! :)
