Awfully dead in here - Topic: New Members before Charter status
 

Congratulations, Asia!
Check with your organization of interest to see if they have specific guidelines on this. My sorority does - once an Interest Group has achieved Colony status, they have to have at least on Rush. When my Chapter was a Colony, we made the conscious decision to defer our Rush until the Spring semester (we became a Colony in the Fall) for exactly the same reason you mentioned - we wanted to become bonded amongst ourselves, not only as future sisters, but also by committing to the various requirements of becoming a Chapter. I know that our Delta Colony (as of this weekend! *cheer*) will be having rush right away - just like you, Asia, they're finding a lot of women interested in A.S.K.

Let us know how things work out! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif And yah, I'd be surprised if there was more activity on these threads...I'm glad people are using this as a resource for expansion etc., as opposed to a primary social forum! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Wow, Asia, it seems like only a short time ago you were just part of an interest group. And now, you are part of a chapter looking back on the colony stage. I must have been away from greekchat way too long! So are you a pledge or initiated now? Are you allowed to tell us which sorority yet?

Hey Asia!
What's going on w/ you and your interest group? So are you guys a colony, chapter or what? I'm dying to know!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Whoa, I've been away!! Sorry, but it seems things got miscommunicated here!

Oh well, we are NOT a sorority yet!!

We've had to move our application to next semester due to lack of funds to visit a full fledged chapter.

But we are associate members of the Multi Cultural Council at my university. They are the greek umbrella org that covers all the non IFC, NPC and NPHC orgs. They allow up and coming interest groups to be associate members -- involvement with no vote.

That's what we are up to.

Sorry for the delay in my response!
