COB for texas*princess???
 
Alrighty... a lot of you here on GC are familiar with me and my situation with Greek Life. Since I got to my new school, I have wanted to become more active on campus and think that being part of Greek Life could help me do just that.

Initially I wanted more than anything to reopen a dormant NPC chapter on my campus, but after speaking with many people, I do not think our campus will be open for expansion anytime in the near future.

In the Alumni Involvement forum, I expressed interest in Alumni Initiation and I recieved many responses from everyone, many also encouraged me to try COB on my campus first.

So this last week I have given it some serious thought and figured I don't really have anything to lose. I called up the Greek Office and found out which sororities were recruiting this semester and got some contact information. I sent out emails to the GLO's that were COB'ing this semester, and today I got a response from one of the groups.

They are having a COB event later this week, and just reading the email made me soooooo excited and scared and nervous and unsure I guess.

I think I'm really unsure because I am a junior... but I figure even if I don't get a bid from any of the groups, I will probably meet some really cool people.

So... let the craziness begin!

Good luck, Texas*Princess!

Be sure and keep us all posted - we're a bunch of rush story-addicts here at GreekChat! ;)

Good luck to you! I don't see any reason why a group wouldn't be interested in a junior! Especially someone who has done their homework and is motivated to be part of a GLO.

What school are you at again, and what sororities are there??

Keep us posted!

Good luck with whatever you decide. You'll always be a deepher in my heart :)

I hope that you find your heart's desire.

I second shadokat's post. :)

Texas*princess, I am confused: why do you have a link to the DPE site for TAMUK on your profile?

texas*princess 01-15-2003 07:47 PM

Before I transferred schools, I was part of a local interest group. The school was trying to get NPC sororities on the campus (only 2 locals and our interest group were present), and our interest group was chosen through mutual selection to become a colony of delta phi epsilon. Before I transferred, I took summer classes at my original school and created a website for the new DPhiE colony before I left :) (That is the link you found in my profile). I still talk to the girls and hang out with them everytime I visit home and always offer to help them in any way that i can. I trasferred before colonization took place, and have since been trying to find a way to bring DPhiE back to my current campus, but I have been told by a lot of people that our campus is not open for expansion and not likely to be open for expansion any time soon. (Not all the houses are at total, and they also had a chapter close about 2 years ago)

I hope that clears up your confusion!

On my current campus, there are 6 NPC sororities... in alphabetical order they are:

Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Phi
Chi Omega
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi
Zeta Tau Alpha

I didn't really think about trying COB until some GC'ers suggested that I at least try it and if I find that these groups are really not for me, then at least I'll know. Regardless of what happens, I still would like to support my Deepher friends :) I'm excited and kind of scared and actually have all sorts of feelings, but figure what ever happens.. happens :) If it doesn't work out, then at least I will get to know some really cool people that I didn't know before!

are you at the U. of North Texas? i seem to remember you being there (from previous posts) and the sororities you listed are those of this school. I'm in a fraternity there(one of very few people). are you looking to get involved with the DSP chapter here? just curious b/c i have a friend in it and was looking to get involved in more campus organizations. the delta sigma pi fraternity is on my list. i hope you have fun rushing, but do remember that you will in any organization, at least in my experience at U of NT, you will have your really cool, really nice people and your not-as-nice people so don't judge an entire group by the representation of a few. who are you going out with later this week?

Howdy filabeaner !

Yes I go to school at UNT! It's an interesting change from my last school. I'm really excited about COB and also for Delta Sigma Pi Recruitment!

If you would like I could pm you with the Recruitment dates.. I'm not sure if they have put up the fliers in the business building yet :) I hope to meet you at one of our events!
