I don't know that y'all are quite following with the train of thought that NBO has been on. Alpha Xi Delta put forth suggestions for what we need to do, yes. And they didn't give us a definite yes or no either way, which has been frustrating. But we haven't just been sitting around assuming that we'll colonize with AZD so we don't have to worry about things anymore. Trying to colonize is a long, brutal process. It involves writing persuasive letters and hoping that something works out. It's also something that involves a whole lot of team morale, which we as a sorority are struggling with a bit right now. So to dive right back into the NPC pool is a bit overwhelming. Besides, we really like AZD. We aren't looking to colonize just so we can colonize- we felt a good connection with what AZD represented and we would feel very proud to be members. It's kindof like....when you go to a bunch of houses during rush, and one them feels like it just fit so well. You wouldn't necessarily want to give up on that just because the road wasn't smooth. And I have enough respect for the AZD headquarters to assume that, if they had absolutely no interest in colonizing us and their response was definitely no, they would tell us that. All this being said, we are beginning to look into some other organizations. Some of the other orgs that we felt we clicked with told us that, at that point, it wasn't a good time for them to colonize. But we've made some progress since then, and maybe situations will have changed. Plus we've looked into a couple groups we hadn't contacted before, so maybe we'll find another match. Hopefully after this next rush we'll be in more of a mindset to work on this more. Altogether I think things are going well- we're making flyers and t shirts, and we have two wonderful girls who we're having such a good time getting to know. Plus, we let go of one member who just didn't have her heart in things, and I feel that as a group we are more positive and motivated without her. I feel mean saying that but it's the truth, and she made the decision to leave on her own. So it's for the best. I'm rambling now, tired and should go to bed.
