AI Journey
 
I am excited to being my AI journey. In college, I pledged a sorority but had to leave for personal reasons. For several years, I tried to reestablish contact and join through their AI program. I talked with an area alum who is bringing me up at there meeting next week. Unfortunately, one of the members I had a run in with a year after I left over money. I regret the incident and I am afraid that this will be held against me. What do you guys think?

Anyway, I am so excited and I have regretted not following through with initation like my advisor recommended.

Woo hoo! Another AI story to follow! Good luck hon!

How bad was the falling out/run in? Is she an active member of the Alum association?

branramb 03-04-2004 01:19 AM

It was bad and yes she is an active member of the alum association. However the situation was miscommunication caused by a third person so I hope she doesn't blackball me since I only need one other signature before it goes to the collegiate chapter.

This sorority requires 2 signatures and a vote from the collegiates so hopefully my contact can connect me with 2 alum rather than her.

Do you mean a vote from the alums in the alumnae chapter rather than a vote from the collegiates?

Good luck with your journey!

branramb...I'm so excited for you! You will feel great when you can erase this regret from your mind.

I certainly hope that the disgruntled member doesn't get in your way. Remember, time usually heals all wounds, so hopefully she's over it! If the rest of the group loves you, I don't think one person will keep you out.

Lots of luck!!

The collegiate chapter votes to initiate me after 2 alum have recommended me. Then I can join any alum group but I would join the one who recommended me. I hope she doesnt hurt my chances because I want this so badly. I went through rush and actually dropped out. They extended a bid to me anyway thanks to the wonderful friends I made that week and I went through everything I had to was even a pan delegate, but i didnt initiate.

I talked with the collegiate president and she seemed willing to help. So I will check back with you on Tues.

Think this will be an interesting Thread to watch!:)

Unless GC is totally screwed up, why 4 posts only! Just a question about that! Not saying GC is unfaliable, but just wondering?

I would like more info if you can put on site!:D

A lot of Great People here to aid you on a quest! But does sound a little thin!:)

Needs a fill in !

oh, this is exciting.

Maybe you should let the other alum know that you are ready and willing. That you have your act togther (and money)


I wish you luck.

branramb 03-08-2004 03:30 AM

Thank you! I supplied the alum with my resume and interest in wanting to help both the collegiate and alum chapter. I would also like to work with a neighboring school to promote the sorority. I really wanna make up for the 4 years I missed out on, but I dont wanna sound too desperate. I just really cherish this opportunity.

Good Luck in your AI search.:)

I talked with my contact earlier and she is suppose to get back with me this afternoon when she gets off work. She spoke with the Alumni group last night so I will see what they said. I'll post again later today.

pinkyphimu 03-10-2004 09:04 PM

oh i can't wait to hear how it went!

branramb 03-11-2004 12:45 AM

Sry but I will have to wait until later tomorrow to update you all. She was very busy and didnt have a chance to write me back. She said she had a detailed letter to send so I dont know if that is bad or what.

LouisaMay 03-11-2004 09:36 AM

Now, now...you have to be positive! A detailed letter could be a very good thing. Plus, do you know that she meant a detailed letter to YOU, or did she mean that she couldn't get back to you because she was busy with a detailed letter? Either way, I don't see any need to worry yet.
