no offense intended to those that have already crossed...but it is very easy to sit here and tell monique to tell her friend to suck it up and press on from the other side...if it were you...would you be thrilled by someone telling you to suck it up and press on two days after having your heart ripped out...i have never applied for membership, therefore i have never been rejected, so i don't personally know how it feels...but i have witnessed what rejection from a sorority can do to people via associates and she may indeed be in a minor state of depression for a while...but that doesn't mean she needs psych help...it means she is human and that it is something she REALLY wanted badly...and it is not our place to judge her reasons for wanting it...if/when i ever apply and if/when i am rejected i expect that if not depression...all out war might errupt...no joke but i hope she does not leave school over this because life is MUCH bigger than being in a sorority and sisterhood CAN be found elsewhere... and it doesn't take being in a sorority to be an asset to your community...a leader in your own right...or to develop into the woman you are ultimately meant to be...i wish her much success in her future endeavors...

peace and blessings...

You are sorely mistaken. We say these things because application to membership into a Sorority is a serious matter... You need to have done some things before you speak of one's circumstances. Because, you will never know until you walk a mile in my moccasins...

We greeks KNOW our membership intake processes, WELL. And we know the reasons one is rejected. And usually it is because of irrefutable circumstances, such as low GPA or under 12 units prior and during application submission...

Then there are SEVERAL "checks and balances" made between the local chapter and its National officers...

Moreover if you have ever in your life attended a Rush, that "in between time" and actual notification, believe me--it is being EXTENSIVELY used...
