- - After Initiation Chapter Shut Down... Now What? (https://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=123197)

I'm talking about new member meetings, a new member program of some sort, several weeks long. I mean, what the heck did she do for 6-8 weeks? Attended nothing according to her and still got initiated - no new member exam, nothing? Highly unlikely...

How do you hide being on social probation from an entire pledge class during their entire pledge period?

You don't. It's not possible.

It would be a hard secret to keep, however, and not exactly honest, but she really got screwed over through no fault of her own.

HA HA HA HA HA. Go sit down.

OK, folks, we've got a week old thread with 4 pages of posts and the OP hasn't said a peep since her first post. What does that tell us? And, she said the only events she attended were Bid Night, Initiation and Founders Day. What the heck happened between Bid Night and Initiation??????? Just saying....

facepalm/headdesk. You right. I wish I had a photo or something to insert here.

A chapter on probation may not have social events? I don't know...

It would depend on each chapter and the terms of their probation. In other words, yes, or no.

I think we are all a little bored, or else we all finished shopping way too early or something of the sort.

Are you talking about this?

I paid for an entire semester's worth of membership and a pin and did not receive either.

I think she means "event" in the sense of a Big Thing, not NM meetings.

At any rate, it's a good topic for discussion, which is why we are discussing it.

I don't view NM meetings as "Greek events," especially because they aren't on the same scale as bid night/founders day/initiation.

I'd bet it was a pledging ceremony. She probably doesn't know the difference.

The original post would lead me to believe that it was an attempt at an initiation.

Not trying to pry, but has anyone managed to figure out which school/GLO this is? That could help shed light on the circumstances, too.
