hello GC,
Thanks again to those who replied. I really appreciate your feedback. Just to update, after a couple rounds with my new interests, I found that I needed to continue my search for quality women... so I'm trying to get our group website put together (HELP!!) and I will continue with collecting interests information until I can arrange to begin the membership process again.
To OPhiAGinger
1. There's a membership quota for my group which is 25 full members and 10 associate members. associate members are members who are on academic probation or did not complete the membership process, for whatever reason, and were offered associate membership. So my goal is to reach full membership by Summer of next year when the MGC opens...hopefully!
2. The minimum GPA to be a member of my organization is 2.7. You can be an associate member with a 2.5 GPA. Minimum credit hours is 9 credit hours completed. A 9 credit hour applicant would probably be offered associate membership for a semester given that she met all other expectations.
3. SIGH...yeah that ownership thing. I tried that with my original group of girls and a lot of times nothing got done or I would have to bother them 50 million times about getting things done and I don't like that. I go to school FT and work 2 PT jobs and I have a young child, If I can get things done I feel anyone can if they really want to.
4. Dues are $70/yr for new members ($40 at orientation + $10 per semester); $30/yr for full members ($10 per semester); $15/yr for associate members ($5 per semester).
5. This is my main goal as I regroup. I want the girls who fill form this interest group to be friends first. This is why I created my membership process the way it is. There's lots of bonding and other activities planned during that time so that hopefully, by induction, everyone is comfortable with each other and feels that they are uniquely needed in this group. I never forget that any number of these women could end up being my sisters one day, so I definitely want to feel the sisterhood and camaraderie.
Thanks again for the advice.
