Hey everyone,
I've totally been beating all of you to the punch! I've been religiously going through all of the websites, and writing down their creeds, mottos, colors, purposes, mascots, goals, philanthropies, etc. I've also been taking note of how many collegiate and alumna chapters each org has in Ca and in the central coast area. So once I'm done I should have a pretty good handle of who works best with our chapter, but I'm totally open to new info and suggestion at this point. I've been emphasizing to my girls (as well as definitely keeping it in mind for myself) that we need to go into this with an open mind, and not get our hopes up or close ourselves off to anyone. For all we know our top choices right now might not have any interest in us at all- heck, all of the orgs might not be interested. Plus, I'm sure some that we don't feel like we're clicking with now could totally wow us later in the game. It's so frustrating, I just want everything to happen now! I'm trying to be patient (not my strong suit). Do you think we should have a theme for rush? Now is the time for us to begin our planning, but I'm not sure if I should aim for something beyond a very simple operation. You want to know something? (Sorry everyone, I'm in a very chatty mood right now!) I am totally amazed with everyone that has been helping us. First it was Greekchatters that just blew my mind with your kindness and support. Now it turns out that the entire Greek community here at my school has been nothing but loving and supportive also. Frats are talking to us about having socials, Gamma Phi offered to sponsor us if we need help, and a bunch of different orgs have offered to help us borrow or get together stuff for rituals and initiation. People are all so nice! I'm thinking my next step is to have everyone pull together their resources and get letters of reccomendation and general support. This, combined with constant pestering of NPC to stay on top of things, will be good for us I'm sure. This is a whole lot of work but I'm having fun!
