Hi everyone,
Once again I was having some computer trouble, but here's the deal so far. John Holloway's office gave me a list of dates, and I figured out which dates would work the absolute best for everyone involved. Then I emailed the list to everyone, but no one has responded (no one from the office at UCSC or AZD) yet. I did, however, get an email from a woman who is apparently going to be the greek life person at my school. This is a big deal because up until now we haven't had any adult whose paid position was to help with greek stuff. She seemed really nice and I feel more positive about things now that I know she's here to help. Since I'm in town for summer, I think we're going to meet up and discuss stuff. I do have a problem though. The dates that John Holloway is available are as follows: August 14, 15, 16, and 19. One of my sisters is very upset because she's only available on the 16th, but ultimately we chose to meet on the 19th. We're doing it this way because several other sisters are absolutely not available anytime other than the 19th, so I was trying to be fair and make sure that the most people possible could attend. But my sister took this personally and is particularly upset about it. She has changed her mind repeatedly about what she wants to do in terms of affiliation. At first she was just as excited as the rest of us about going NPC, but since she started hanging out with some sorority at San Jose State she only wants to affiliate with them. It's frustrating for many reasons. One, I feel like she is being unfair by demanding that we all affiliate with a group that only she seems to feel a connection with. Also, she says she wants to go with this group because she's Latina and she won't feel comfortable in an NPC group because they're mostly white, and she needs something diverse. The thing is, the sorority she wants is basically all Latina, so her point doesn't exactly apply for everyone in NBO. I'm very frustrated with that whole situation. But other than that things are going well, I'm going to call some people instead of relying solely on email as a way of getting in touch with people. Please give me some advice about what to do about this one sister, I love her and I want us all to be happy but she's making it super hard for us. Anyway, more later, thanks for still being interested after all this time!
love, Corina
