Seems like you're putting your chapter so far above your organization that you can't even see it anymore. Although not NPC, KBG is national, no? And, as such, has organizational ideals and processes. While I think chapter is important (especially on the collegiate level), it's not the be-all-end-all of greek life.

Having a tough time recruiting =/= "ZOMG THIS ORG SUCKS LETS FIND A NEW ONE!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!"

NPC chapters that are having a tough time recruiting (and there are tons of them) can't just switch organizations at the drop of a hat - they either improve their recruiting or are closed, and the members can never join another sorority again (effectively). You guys should possibly consider what that means.

Ironically, this is what you think of NPCs, and yet you want to be in one.

Hm...

And while I don't know 33girl personally, when I think of her, the last thing I picture is a cutsey sorority house and Barbie dream car.

I imagine her driving the Batmobile. :cool:

I DO like the idea of being under a big beach umbrella all the time :D

Oh please hooker. I KNOW you are the one who borrowed my olive green Jimmy Choos (the ones with the gold ring, not the ones with the ankle strap) and never gave them back. Don't even try to kiss up to me.

Bish stole my favorite MAC lipstick, too. :mad:

TEEHEE AND HAHA.

<----self-proclaimed R.A.B.

I have nothing else to contribute.

I have no idea what this back and forth is about but I love this communication style. LOL.

No offense to 33girl. :) Xoxo, your fellow R.A.B.

New GC GLO: Rho Alpha Beta.

Requirements for membership? I am afraid I'll be an eternal aspirant if I ask.

*slinks off to the bleachers, again*

Why should 33girl get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What's so great about 33girl? Hm? AzTheta is just as cute as 33girl. AzTheta is just as smart as 33girl. People totally like AzTheta just as much as they like 33girl. And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody, huh? Because that's not what GreekChat is about. We should totally just stab 33girl!

Kaorin_Kanoe, allow me to ask a question with no ill intent. Strictly curiosity. Were you ever an MCGLO, LGLO, or NPHC interest? Nothing wrong if you were, just curious based on some things that I have noticed.

:mad: YOU CAN'T HANDLE RHO ALPHA BETA.

YOU AIN'T GOOD ENUF FOR RHO ALPHA BETA.

YOU DON'T CUSS ENUF FOR RHO ALPHA BETA.

YOU DON'T FUSS ENUF FOR RHO ALPHA BETA.


But...if you post some good music for another ol skool music celebration, we may accept your application. We need one non-R.A.B. in Rho Alpha Beta for public relations purposes.

Can we call her the "polite Rho?" Because that would be awesome.

Yes but would it require stabbing 33girl? We should leave 33girl unstabbed...until further notice.

I humbly offer the following for consideration in my application process (this is the public part, right?):

It did seem fitting, and I can do those moves, totally. Years of practice it took, but I mastered them.

ETA: reaching deep for this one, 1958 to be exact:

How dare you tug at my heart strings like this. We shall see what we can do for you, thanks.

:D

ETA: no stabbing, please. I just won't share any Goo Goo supremes with meanies. That's punishment enough.

I believe you have divinated correctly on this particular matter.

Hmmmm.

And none for agzg.

*facepalm* at this entire exchange

Karamel_Kanoe or whatever is kind of stupid.

mmmmmmmmm

Why, k_s, yes, it's true that KK is dumb as a post with a potty mouth at the top; but it's not nice to point it out since she does a fine job of demonstrating that all on her own.

What was it Honey taught me to say? "bless her heart" or something like that?

I think I'll go eat another goo goo supreme now.

Aw, c'mon Jeni - who wouldn't want a heapin' helping of THAT?

What does one mean by "what rightly belongs to them?"

Anyway, sorry I'm late to this one guys.

I was out sipping my mimosa under my big beach umbrella on the island of I'm In An NPC Sorority and You're Not.

They are what's "left over" after the other sororities get the first years.
They are a chapter for the "rejects."
They are a chapter for the oppressed who simply want their piece of the pie.

As found in peer reviewed journal articles such as "House Bunny," "Mean Girls," and "Never Been Kissed," the rejects watch from a distance but secretly want to be one of the cool kids if only for one day. And those who can, do and those who cannot, join Kaorin_Kanoe's chapter.

Oh, so you think us ASTs will steal ANYTHING that’s green and gold? Look, I may be a hooker, but I get paaaaaaid! I don’t need to be stealin’ yo Choos. I make it rain.. like the forest.. bitch.

For the last time, no one stole your damn lipstick! You kiss 33girl’s ass so much, that’s probably the only place you’ve stopped to look for it.

I understand that. Like I said, I wasn't sure about the whole seeking absorption idea, I was just saying how I can understand her frustration. I wouldn't be too quick to jump on the NPC boat just yet. We have enough chapters now to join NPC, but we need to wait two years or something like that (after the last chapter was installed) to apply for NPC affiliation. But no, I agree, our founders and alumni wouldn't be very happy if we were to get absorbed. I get that. Don't attack me :(

I lolled

Never happened.

LOL.

Wait...is this a serious thread? :confused:

Weren't we just talking about KBG in another thread about losing their chapters like this?

So this is the stupidity that I end up coming back to...smh. You all will never understand. I don't expect you to.

You know NOTHING about MY sorority on MY campus in MY state.

*eats popcorn as he waits for Dr.Phil to lay the smackdown*

Of course we won't! We're too busy decorating our cutesy houses for recruitment and driving our Barbie dream cars around town to waste any time trying to understand you!

Should I cry that you don't want to be my sister. Trust me, the feeling is mutual. I'm tired of people asking me that if I wanted to be NPC then why did I colonize with KBG. I. AM. NOT. A. FOUNDING. SISTER. And you have some nerve saying that we're not looking hard enough. You don't know what goes on on my campus that prohibits from getting the results that we would like. My sister wear our letters everyday even though we're blatantly outnumbered. I don't think you know what it's like to have people say to your face that they're pledging Delta or Alpha before they're even eligible to apply to greek life. Excuse me if I've been sounding like a total monster on GC, but it's painful to hear people say that they won't join us strictly because we're not NPC. We're in the middle of a catch 22. They say we're too small but then people won't join us. As of right now I have 13 and as of next year there will be 5 of us left. The other sororities are just begging that we get kicked off campus because so that they can satisfy their quota. The shallow reasons that people DO give for joining an NPC is hysterical. If I join I get a free Tiffany's necklace. If I join I get to wear their letters. If I join I get a free credit card (I kid you not) But nope...nobody wants any sisterhood...just a new pair of diamond earrings. So come on. Let me have it. Shame on me for reaching out for a little help from the Greek community.

LOL.

Why are you so goddamn pressed?

I'm just trying to figure out why all the website's members are being so hostile with me. I didn't do anything wrong but ask a question.

Miss Kaorin_Kanoe: there are enough rather involved alumnae on the regional/national/NPC levels on this board that knows quite a bit about Greek Life on hundreds if not thousands of campuses (campii??) in North America. Maybe not your individual chapter, but quite possibly in your state and on your campus. Not intended to freak you out or anything, but sadly none of us are as anonymous as we may think on a message board. Just a bit of food for thought...

Heading back to sip mimosas with KSUViolet under my big beach umbrella on the island of I'm In An NPC Sorority and You're Not.

Someone here doesn't understand.

I don't think it's who you think it is.

It's cool, I understand now. My girls and I are on our own and we'll just have to fend for ourselves. I guess that's all there is to it.

You would have gotten a better answer if you asked a Magic 8 ball.;)

But, seriously. I think a big mistake GC newbies make, such as yourself, is to assume that GC holds all the answers to your GLO issue(s). We don't.

Do we offer suggestions and helpful advice as much as possible, we do.


We can not solve your problem for you. We can not give you the specific answers you are looking for.

If you are as frustrated as you seem, then talk it out with those on your campus who can help you the most. No, we don't know your campus, sorority, or how Greek life really is on your campus. So, we can not not offer any specific advice to you.

If you are having trouble recruiting, think about why. Talk it over with your chapter. Talk it over with your Greek life adviser. Sometimes many chapters go through cycles. You just might be in a "down" part of the cycle, but that does not mean it is the end of the world for your chapter. You and your chapter just may have to work harder, and that could be a good thing. What you are going through now may be the catalyst your chapter needs to pull together. And, when other girls on campus see y'all clicking, that is what attracts people - seeing true sister / brotherhood.

I don't think you want to give up. It sounds like you are at the end of your rope, and you don't know what to do now. Don't give up.
