Hi! I'm new here and was really excited to learn the
opportunities for AI. I'm a recent graduate from a
state school in a city that wasn't so huge on
frats/sororities. In fact, we didn't even have houses
for them, how sad! (That's because half of the school
body were commuters, just like me)
I'm transferred into this school when I was a junior
and was totally new to the idea of sororities. I
remember during orientation, there was a period where
we get to meet some of the orgs and greeks on campus.
I was approached by the one group, got interested and
started the rush process.
The only thing that sucked about commuter universities
is that you always have to watch the time, if you need
to take the train that is. And the rush process became
really rough for me. To put the story short, I didn't
receive a bid and later on learned from one of the
ladies that the reason why I didn't get one was
because I was a commuter and I needed to be able to
commit lots of time into the sorority.
After that, I was hesitant to rush again next semester
fear of being rejected for the same reason. I ended up
being involved as a Student Orientation leader,
student ambassadors, professional societies in my
major and a honor society. Despite being involved in
school, trying to manage my grades, I also held two
part time jobs outside. So I understand what their
concern was. But at the end, for two years, I've been
feeling something is missing in me. I always wanted to
be a part of a sorority.
When I found out that AI exists, I was so thrilled. I
hope my age is not a problem (I'm only 23, though I
look 17, hehe, I guess it's an asian thing)
I'm thinking about going for a sorority that I know a
few ladies there and they have a chapter at our
school. They are really lovely ladies who work hard
and being active in school while having a great time
(I regretted for discovering late and not being able
to rush. I was gonna go for my masters and prepare to
rush for them, but plans changed because my school
screwed up with my graduate assitantship...booo) And I
will contact my friend for more details. =)
I know this is a bit off subject. I *think* (please
correct me if I'm wrong) is that there's no asian
sororities in NPC, right? I was also trying to look
into some asian sororities that have AI that I could
also look into, but end up with nothing. (sorry that
it isn't NPC related, but I was just curious)
I hope with now having more time, I can do something
that I always wanted to do and help to make a change
to our society. And I'm always up for meeting new
people and such.
So I guess, that's my intro. I hope it's not too
boring =) and it's nice to meet you all and kudos to
those who created this board =)
