the Rho Gammas on our campus are basically the members of PHC Board. (Except us since we don't participate in formal recruitment.) FOrmal recruitment begins this weekend but we had a small orientation the weekend before school starts for new frosh and transfers to check out all the organizations and campus activities. One of the more popular seminars was the "Go Greek" seminar. There was a rep from PHC, IFC, and the GA, and I think someone from an NPHC org. We weren't asked to have a rep from our group to say something about locals on campus so everything the new students heard came from the others.
Someone asked a question about locals in the seminar. THe PHC member said that the local organization on campus was a sorority without any rules (i am sure she meant we don't follow typical PHC bylaws, but many thought she meant locals were running wild on campus) AND the thing that really pissed our girls off was she said that the local sorority on campus was becoming national. We have no, NONE, intention of bringing another national org on campus nor becoming national ourselves. (We opened up a chapter at another school, which may have brought up that topic.) But we had PNMs walking up to us and asking us "So what do they mean that you guys don't have rules?" or "If I join now, are you gonna be something else later?"
If you are going to try and represent all organizations, make sure you have your facts straight before you speak... that's all.
I'm spent.
