Yes. That's what happened.


Thanks AngelPhiSig!

So, to continue. The two big concerns were:

A. Have enough members to charter our chapter. (Where the story ended...when we reached that goal.)
B. Become recognized as a Greek Org by our school. Which may, or may not happen.

I'm open to questions on how Nevada Nu went about recruitment, but much of the details are Private member selection information. We are selective (as certain Beta Sigma Phi members on this board have seen) and intend to remain so.

Some orgs are suited for some....others are suited for others. All of our sisters have shown their commitment to the organization, exemplify our ideals and are fiercely proud of being a Beta Sigma Phi, and forever loyal to our sisters. If we simply welcomed any and all women who desired to go Greek, then...what would our sisterhood mean?

So, our chapter process goes as such.

Bid day is synonymous with pledging (for our chapter, at least)
Pledging is synonymous with initiation (which hasn't happened yet....)

While we do have a pledge process, we are focusing on gelling together through various means as a chapter and as sisters during the lead up to initiation. I will say that we've learned a tremendous amount about one another, and sometimes....I wonder how it is that we hadn't met all that long ago but are so intensely close to each other through common shared experiences and the rituals of our soon to be chartered chapter.

It's to the point where a sister can start saying something on a Facebook wall in code...and without knowing the exact code, another sister responds and a conversation ensues....how in tune we've become in such a short period of time.

Like, yesterday was a very hard day for me. This morning, one of my littles waltzed into the room I was in with my favorite dumplings and chocolate to cheer me up.

Friendships are one thing....but my sisters astound me daily and I treasure them more and more as time goes on.
