Nya, nya, I knew this ages ago!! :p Not often that I'm in on one of these!!

Congratulations to my new sister!!!!!

Thank you all.

To the few ladies who knew this and have kept my secret I thank you, I appreciate it....I know it had to be hard....I will let you all know the rest of the details as they come up, but for me I am in Houston Texas with a really bad southern drawl working my butt off so I can come home sometime soon....

Congratulations to you and ASA! What a great ending to your story=)

Yes it was hard to keep the secret! :) I am so happy for you! Where will you be initated? What collegiate chapter? (ya can PM me if ya like)

Are you worried about your law studies? I know you said you were taking a lot of classes and I would think being on a business trip would cause you to miss a lot of them.

ETA: Which school are you initiating at? I think a girl I went to camp with is an ASA at one of the Chicago schools.

congratulations!!!! i am so excited for you! my aunt is an asa and i have read her pheonix ever since i was a little girl and didn't even know what those funny letters were!

Congratulations to you and ASA!

I have worked out a schedule with my law professors so that I can take care of my business trips and still attend my classes....They have transfered the work that I am suppose to be doing in Chicago to University of Houston College of Law. When I am finished with my business trip I will take my studies back up North.

I I believe it with be Northern but please do not quote me on that, I just know that most of the Chapter that I am joining went to Northern and I believe that, they will have be initate there.

Forgive me if i'm just confused, how does this comply with the ABA requirement of 80% attendence at all classes?

Even part time law studies (while my school does not offer a part time/evening option, Duquesne Univ does and two of my coworkers are from there) are about 12 credits. I just do not see how this is possible. It doesn't matter how smart or organized you are, the ABA has requirements and so do schools. You can just leave one school for part of a semester and come back. It just doesn't work that way.

To explain about my law school and Unviersity of Houston, they are "sister" schools. Menaing they work with each other becuase their schools are geared towards the working person. I am a full-time evening student. Meanign I have takign 12 semester hours per semester. And, you are correct about ABA and their 80% attendance requirment and I have technically attended 80% of my classes. Does that make since. I am allowed to attend Univeristy of Houston becuase of an agreement my school has with them.

Are you doing the ENTIRE semester there or just part of it? Is there a link on one of the school's websites that explains this? As a 3rd year (ugh, meeting about the bar in 45 minutes), I just don't understand how this would work and would love to see how the school explains it. Thanks :)

No, that doesn't make sense. My grandfather is a DePaul alumnus and they are recruiting me for law school and I've never heard about this. There's nothing about it on their website. In addition, I find it very odd that a Vincentian university would ally itself with a non-Catholic school, let alone a public one.

I looked at the U of Houston Law Center (not "College of Law")website... they don't have a full time evening program, only part time evening with 6-10 credits.

It also makes no sense that two schools so far away would have any kind of partnership. I really doubt they would have ANY students in your same situation. Law school just doesn't work that way.

I apologize to whoever reading this if it seems like GP and I are being b!tches about all of this, but this particular poster has been caught in MANY lies (some of you may not remember, she deleted a lot of posts, etc. but a lot are still there). And nothing adds up. I know how law schools work and the requirements, as i'm a 3rd year, and it just doesn't happen like this.

When I saw that this story is about the Law School at DePaul, I had to check it out. My Mom was JD'72 there and former faculty and we have many friends on the faculty still. I normally try very hard to bite my tongue on this board and not respond, but for once, I'm letting loose 100%:

There is NO WAY you could be a full-time evening student. DePaul only has part-time evening (I should know, my Mother used to teach Legal Writing there).
When I asked my Mom about the 'sister school' thing, her response: Not possible. No law school allows people to be enrolled in one school while taking classes at another UNLESS you're studying abroad. She has never heard of the 'sister' school with Houston and said that she was going to check with her friends who are tenured Professors to see if this is actually true. I let her read these posts and she was flabbergasted by this story.

I too am in law school right now (living through the hell that is 1L) and this story seems very weird to me.

While I'm ranting...another issue I have right now: GC has a function where you can edit your posts and view them before they get posted. PLEASE look at the way you're posting. Half of your sentences do not make sense, example:
COME ON! If you're really in Law School, I really hope that you're not turning in work like that to Professors. I know that we all have typos and make mistakes, but seriously.
Also, your 'location'--if you're from Chicago you should know that it's Illinois not Illinios.

/end rant because law school is frustrating enough without dealing with crap like this

I thought something was up, especially since I remember this poster saying she was a DG... :rolleyes:

She never explicitly said she was a DG. She posted on the DG secret sister thread saying she wanted to participate, not understanding that it was only for DGs.

My law school had a great Dance Marathon.

Bwahahaha!

To answer your question...[This is being fixed due to the simply fact that I didnt read the question that was written by kddani 9/24/04] No I am not doing the entire year in Houston just till I get back to Chicago [come this January I shall be back in Chicago]....

I apologize to those who have read my posts and see the mis-spellings, I will go back and "edit" my posts, for those who are so critical of that.

The great thing about schools (especially, law schools) most schools have this policy that is called a "visiting student" application, so that students "like me" can go to school finish their degree while making a life for them.


Thank you 33girl, for clearing that up. Acutally you can be a full-time evenign student becuase I take my classes at night 12 semester hours in all, I start at 330 in the afternoon and I go to 10 pm most nights.

deadbear, just ? are you from Bulgaria and are you studying International Law?

Please say yes as If it is you and I love you, except being vegitarian!

Having only taken 3 Sem. of Law, Lawyers are not right or sane people.

I delt with so many being In Law Enforcement to understand them. But, they drink well as I have doen that with a few!:D

:(

No, not especially law schools. Law schools don't do this. You can't do this.

You can't start class at one school, go and take the class (who says they even have them?) at another school then go back to the original school and take the final. Profs have entirely different cirriculums and styles and what you learn.

Again, show me proof of ANY school that does this?

Why are you bullsh!ting people who ARE in law school and who DO know about this sort of thing?

What do you mean? My law school had so many sister schools they formed a sorority and it was so neat! I'd drive my silver Grand Cherokee to different law schools all around the country, so I learned civil procedure from 12 different professors, and then I had them all become alumni initiates of my sorority even though some of them were men they made an exception because we're all united by our love of the law. OMGWTFBBQ.

I have several relatives who are alumni of DePaul. I'm unaware on this visiting school program.

If she was accepted by DePaul as a transfer student that's a possibility with the requirements posted here.

The only sister school programs I found were for study abroad programs in Ireland or China. As posted here.
