juniorgrrl, I know that everyone is giving you advice, and I am sure they are telling you from personal experience-that's a good thing. However, I am going to say a couple of things. First, you probably will not know 99% of the inner workings of a sorority until you are a member. Anything you hear from the outside, including assumptions made by others, are just that-assumptions. You will not know the real deal until you are on the inside, so take that in consideration with what you are hearing. I am assuming that if they were that bad off, you would not want to be a member. Second, a chapter is a part of a national organization, so do not forget the big picture! Take the national platform and the GLO's accomplishments as a whole in consideration as well. They will probably mirror your opinion more. I am not saying that you should join a crappy chapter, because you should'nt. But again, if it was that crappy, I bet you would not want to be part of it. Finally, I gotta go back to the advice I gave you a few days ago...Don't anticipate, Participate! You don't know what the communication problem is, and you probably won't so stop trying to analyze what you probably won't be able to answer!
Have fun, be yourself, and enjoy the process! If you don't like what you see at the end of the process, don't accept the bid! If you do, congratulate yourself on the long and arduous road you have taken, and welcome to greekdom
If you get too stressed, E-mail me. I have been dealing with potential members for 10 years now, so I will share what I can
