But Sorors:
How do we stop this insanity toward non-members and unaffiliates? It's insane! Especially if an undergraduate chapter is at risk of dissolution because of lack of membership!
I have heard it all as to the reasons why some of us like to be prissy and sididity (sp.). But if your chapter ain't rollin' in a 300+ rush with at least 200 girls having grades and 100 are legacies then why seriously trip on interests? I could see if you can do an instachapter--just add water. But if you are 5 deep and 4 of you are graduating... How you gonna be disrespectful no matter how ignorant the interest's question is?
Teresa2000:
You have got to remember, like I have told many interests, that you would think that folks at the university have matured beyond their teenage years and yet they still remain steadfast in their intimidation. When I was an interest, I was so intimidated that I was shaking and quivering with fear, but I continued my pursuit and achieved my goal for AKA-dom.
Intimidation aside, you have to KNOW your comfort zone and maintain your self integrity. If you are insecure, membership into any organization is going to stress you out--even if you desire it the most. You have KNOW who you are and be comfortable about yourself and you HAVE to be confident. Because in all actuality, in the "real world" the big boysdo it too! Human resources does it too. Professors do it too! Graduate/professional schools do it all the time. So what better time to work on breaking down your barriers than now? Are you going to let someone tell you what your level is? Are you that easily discouraged? Then go for your ultimate dreams!
