Hi all - I thought I would give a quick update. I contacted our national office and was told, after a paperwork review, that I was not eligible for reinstatement. Some of the dates (such as the date I graduated) given to me were not correct***, so in my opinion, it appears as if I was lying about the whole ordeal!
***I graduated in 2004, however I moved out of state for an internship (required for graduation) in 2003 (after completing 4 years at my school), got offered a job and stayed here. I completed the 2 courses remaining for my degree via distance learning. So when I said (via email) that I moved during my "last year of school" I meant my last year on campus...from their perspective it probably did look like things did not add up!!!
Anyway, I received a curt, short email asking me to call her. I just never called. I just felt so intimidated!
I started my provisional year with Junior League and that really has fulfilled my need for philanthropy, which was one of the reasons I wanted to become involved as an alumna. I know that I should call and discuss things, but I just keep putting it off.
My entire family is Greek and if I ever have a daughter, I will hate telling her that she can't be listed as my legacy because of some silly paperwork issue! My mother in law is a Pi Phi, sister was a Phi Mu at Ole Miss, other sister was my legacy, husband was an officer in his fraternity in Alabama....I hope that if my issue never gets resolved this will at least help a little on recs for future children! LOL
I do want to stick around GC though, I really enjoy the posts!
