Hi everyone,
Update:
Right now we are waiting to receive a Declaration of Interest packet from Theta Nu Xi. I'm not entirely sure what happens after that, but I'm assuming we fill out a bunch of forms and then they review them and then...thing happen, I dunno, I haven't gotten that far in the thought process yet. As far as people asking why we're interesting in Theta Nu Xi, as opposed to NPC groups, or groups with large alum groups. etc. I guess my best explanation is to say that I am not willing to compromise the goals or beliefs of my sorority, just to affiliate. I want to make sure that who we affiliate with matches us and our important qualities seamlessly- and the only NPC groups to do that have not been interested in us, or willing to provide us with the level of support we need to thrive. So, rather than pursue a group who's values aren't congruent with ours (which is not to say that they are wrong or "bad" values in any way) we are chosing to place our interest with a smaller group that closely parallels our own. Optimist Prime designed a coat of arms for us, and on it he wrote (in Latin) "Honor Before Glory". I think that is a really good goal for us to aim towards, and one that I hope we've been able to accomplish thus far. In related news, we officially have SIX GREAT PLEDGES! I am SO excited. We all picked out our little sis's (I don't know how to pluralize that word) and we're very happy with all of them. Unfortunately Sandy (one of my sisters who lives in the house with us) is leaving in June
, but we will still be at a total of 11 active members then and that is a whole lot for us! I'm very happy about that. More later, nap time now.
