Hi! I'm new here and was really excited to learn the
opportunities for AI. I'm a recent graduate from a
state school in a city that wasn't so huge on
frats/sororities. In fact, we didn't even have houses
for them, how sad! (That's because half of the school
body were commuters, just like me)

I'm transferred into this school when I was a junior
and was totally new to the idea of sororities. I
remember during orientation, there was a period where
we get to meet some of the orgs and greeks on campus.
I was approached by the one group, got interested and
started the rush process.

The only thing that sucked about commuter universities
is that you always have to watch the time, if you need
to take the train that is. And the rush process became
really rough for me. To put the story short, I didn't
receive a bid and later on learned from one of the
ladies that the reason why I didn't get one was
because I was a commuter and I needed to be able to
commit lots of time into the sorority.

After that, I was hesitant to rush again next semester
fear of being rejected for the same reason. I ended up
being involved as a Student Orientation leader,
student ambassadors, professional societies in my
major and a honor society. Despite being involved in
school, trying to manage my grades, I also held two
part time jobs outside. So I understand what their
concern was. But at the end, for two years, I've been
feeling something is missing in me. I always wanted to
be a part of a sorority.

When I found out that AI exists, I was so thrilled. I
hope my age is not a problem (I'm only 23, though I
look 17, hehe, I guess it's an asian thing)

I'm thinking about going for a sorority that I know a
few ladies there and they have a chapter at our
school. They are really lovely ladies who work hard
and being active in school while having a great time
(I regretted for discovering late and not being able
to rush. I was gonna go for my masters and prepare to
rush for them, but plans changed because my school
screwed up with my graduate assitantship...booo) And I
will contact my friend for more details. =)

I know this is a bit off subject. I *think* (please
correct me if I'm wrong) is that there's no asian
sororities in NPC, right? I was also trying to look
into some asian sororities that have AI that I could
also look into, but end up with nothing. (sorry that
it isn't NPC related, but I was just curious)

I hope with now having more time, I can do something
that I always wanted to do and help to make a change
to our society. And I'm always up for meeting new
people and such.

So I guess, that's my intro. I hope it's not too
boring =) and it's nice to meet you all and kudos to
those who created this board =)

Go ahead dear ;) do whatever you want, but did you read that part I said that I personally didn't ask to delete that post? If I did mind, I would have ask mods to delete the post, right my dear? :p

but it makes me think, what point are you try to prove? :D

But they did appoint themselves official AI Forum Trainwreckers.

I just love how they go on and on about how EVERY PNAI is trying to achieve an unfulfilled college dream of joining a sorority, yet so many that bash in the AI forum are AI's themselves.

I guess being an AI and then turning around and bashing AI's (while not telling othes that you were really an AI) is the NEW wave of the future!

Gotta love those old posts when they first joined GC.

Putting them in touch with a local member is very different than being their sponsor. I put women in touch with local members all the time. If someone approaches me and says "Hi, I want to be a Gamma Phi Beta" I'll help them take that first step. After that, it's up to them to not be crazy and up to the alumnae chapter to see if they are a good fit.

I don't think anyone here wants or needs the lice that would come with it.

Hey, you don't want to offend all of the other posters that are AI members and don't want anyone to knw about it! Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

HAHAHAHA...that was funny. Oh, wait, no it wasn't.:rolleyes:

Hell yeah it was!

Oh, I see...you're the kind of person that laughs at your own jokes.

Explains a lot.

When they are funny...you bet I will.

Hey, wanted to let you know that they are running the old reruns of "Alf" on Nick at Nite!

I've read a lot of what's gone on without posting...but I feel like it's time to put in my $.02:

While I ended up in the right house when I rushed, there was another house I thought I wanted more (and was dropped from there before prefs). While I was happy to accept my bid, I harbored a small feeling of want for that other chapter. On Bid Day they lined us up to go into the sorority suites--and in the line for that other chapter were some of the rudest, snottiest, and meanest girls I had met in college thus far (2 of whom lived on my freshman floor)...and in that moment I realized "Thank G-D they're not my sisters!".
I feel that way now too--to post private information on a public board is the most below-the-belt tactic I've ever seen in order to get attention. If so many people on this board upset you, yes, you have the right to be here, but maybe this isn't the right place for you.
Props to OTW, ariesrising, and the other girls for nicely putting you in your place--if you're really older than I am (and it seems so) then I surely expect more you--be a lady. And grow up. Realize that not everyone shares your opinion--and that's fine--you can have your own--but shoving it down people's throats in a wholly unacceptable way doesn't earn friend points. There's a reason you feel attacked--you're the one attacking--all people are doing is holding up a mirror and letting things bounce back.
You're like that little bug that won't just lay down and die after being squashed--haven't you had enough yet?

*claps hard* ;)

Sometimes it's called "getting a taste of your own medicine".

I wouldn't put everyone in the "lady' catagory when OTW's myspace reads like an advertisement for porn.

You are right, I don't know these people, but in cases like OTW, a quick review of her myspace will tell the world she swallows. That's more info than I want to know about the majority of people in general.

wow, you stalk people too??? :eek:
