Re: Shine
Actually, I didn't mind your post at all, except that I thought it was written by the same person that wrote me that nasty PM. If that was the case, I thought it was quite hypocritical. But alas, you have explained that it wasn't you, and I'm cool with it.
You are correct. This is the best place to come for help in these situations. I'm sorry that my post made you feel bad. It was really a response to the PM I got from your other sister under your name.
I personally highly recommend rushing panhellenic. I would do it myself, if it weren't for the fact that I'm graduating soon. However, it will hurt the feelings of a lot of OPA members, and possibly burn bridges of friendship and communication betwen you and them.
Last spring, for fun, I went to a COB party at one of the socials here. I wanted to explore that whole dynamic, and if I ended up finding the sisterhood that I felt OPA was lacking, I was gonna join. But, the next week I decided not to go to COB parties anymore, and ended up on LOA in OPA because I was so stressed and busy. Then, in the middle of the semester, OPA asked me to be webmaster, and I accepted the job. Then I was asked to run for the position of PR chair, because PR is also in-charge of the website.
Well, when it came time for the speeches, and Q&A, I got REAMED OUT. Apparently everyone thought I went LOA so I could rush the socials, because they had heard about how I went to a COB the week before I submitted my LOA papers.
Later on I heard that when they had discussion before the vote, I was called a traitor and everyone had a basic diss session about me.
All of that was the beginning of a lot of drama that ultimately led me to disassociate this Fall.
But, if you TRULY have the time, money, and heart to rush panhel, and you aren't worried about what the girls in OPA will think about it, I say go for it.
