I thought I explained the Chi O thing...I'll explain again though. My feelings for Chi O were akin to a crush, grasping at an organization that is awesome, but not necessarily the best for me. I had a moment (which, I might add, may have been influenced by the fact that I had been studying for 24 straight hours, which I don't recommend!) where I felt like we could really work well with Chi Omega. I posted it here because this is where I write all my mometary thoughts about anything regarding NBO or greek life in general. But, if anyone looks over my post, they can see how many times I've mentioned AZD, and how attached I have grown to this organization. I know you shouldn't do that, but can anyone honestly say that they don't do that, not even a little? It's hard to honestly say that I'll be happy with whatever organization we choose, because that isn't necessarily true. I wish I had never posted that Chi O thing because it's like no one takes me seriously anymore...but the bottom line is that carefull research and a whole lot of thought have convinced me that AZD is the best match for NBO...this isn't a whim, and I made this decision for the right reasons. Things like philanthropy, founding principles, reputation, personality of members I have spoken with, general ideals, and the information I have been able to find, all tell me that AZD is a wonderful organization which would mesh really well with NBO. I'm not saying it's the only choice, I'm just saying that in my heart I feel it is the best choice. Maybe that will change, obviously that's why we're having presentations and interviews and whatnot, but I really hope you all can understand what I'm feeling right now. And besides, at this point, my hopes for AZD aren't really interfering with this process at all. Choosing who to invite for interviews is as simple as reviewing all the information and making an educated decision...and it wasn't until I did all of this that I let myself fall for one organization. If NBO doesn't affiliate with AZD, then it wasn't meant to be. But right now I'm really hoping we will!
love, Corina
