meeting sorors unexpectedly
 

i dont start threads often. so let me excersize this right...

as i mention many a times, my campus is not greek-heavy. when i became a member, i was of course excited to meet sorors, but get a little sad being that im the only Sigma Gamma Rho on my campus.

or so i thought.

so far ive met a graduate student from binghampton and by the graces of facebook, tracked her down. last week, i met a soror who, all i can remember, was from Arizona (spr 96), i think in a graduate program here. lastly, i get an email from someone who JUST graduated from a masters program here and moved away for her doctorate, and got in touch with me through a listserv.

so for all i know, there could be many a soror here at nyu and i wouldnt know it. now i cant go asking around every graduate student if they know any SGRhos. is it appropriate to ask for an email/phone number of every soror i meet in the street?

You hadn't been doing that before? Whenever I meet a soror, I trade information.

Re: Re: meeting sorors unexpectedly
 

I did when I was a neo. I still do it.

There is nothing wrong with that! It's called networking!

i was rushing to class (i was already late), she was on a phone call, and rushing somewhere. it didnt occur to me to ask for a phone #. seemed stalker-esque.

I'm a neo, and what I've already done is had business cards made - so whenever I meet a new soror, I just give her one of my cards. Much easier than trying to find a scrap of paper and a pen (and folks are less likely to lose a business card).

I have cards as well for OES. I just think it adds a professional touch, yanno?

Ditto...I also have sorority cards, and I hand them out to sorors and fellow greeks. If anyone's interested, I can pass on the name and contact info of the person who made them for me; she did great work and she can make personalized cards for any organization.

exactly!
 

i co-sign whole heartedly!

sorority cards? never thought about that...

yeah, pass that contact person on.

Soror, what is wrong with stalking another Soror? LOL!!!

Is this a New York thing or what? I have met so many Sorors, many who are inactive, just by approaching and always wearing my para.

Just the memory of this made me smile when I recall meeting 2 Sorors in my daughter's Girl Scout Troop several years ago.

I posted this here before in another thread. Within that troop I have made friends with women of other D9 sororities because they STALKED ME! I wear my t-shirts and hats a lot! :D

it may be a new york thing, you know, we're always in our bubbles and everything.

but it could be a me thing, not wanting to stalk people and everything.

i'll work on it...

Soror, I was just messing with you. It's not just a New York thing either.

I met another soror in my building yesterday! All this time I didn't know cause she teaches in another section and I hardly ever see her.

I'm so happy!

it keeps on getting better!
 

how about this:

i went on a cruise to the bahamas last week and on the ship, i ran into this lady who was wearing a blue and gold bag that i could have SWORE i got at the SE regional conference in 2004. . . i ran up to her and said, "i am sorry, but can i look at this bag?" she was a little confused, but said yes. . . and when she flipped it, i saw our SHIELD! we hugged each other and chatted... and chatted... and chatted...
very happy moment.
