Okay, so I'm talking to one of my girls and I ask her when she's going to be free for a meeting. Well, now she's actually SCARED to go because she says the othr sororities are giving her a hard time and that they don't support this. GRRR!!!

My local group had a hard time on our campus...and although I wasn't around for the entire time leading up to the school calling us a local, I was around when we were still a local group. Many of our sisters, and myself, sadly lost friends over what we believed in, our right to form a 5th sorority. We used to get 'hate posts' on our website guest books, some girls apts were egged, people had bumper stickers w/our letters taken off the car, etc etc etc. But my whole point of this is not to scare you or anything, but to actually say that it made us stronger as sisters. The more people put us down, the further we pushed and the more determined we got. After a semester, the other groups realized we were extremely strong and we weren't going anyway, so they finally voted for us to become a national GLO.
There are always going to be people in your way, but giving up will let them win. Stick to your guns.
On a positive sign, most of the girls that had huge objections to us have now graduated, and we the other sororities are getting used to us, and I daresay, we might actually be liked, mainly due to the fact that many of our new members, and the other groups new members missed the 'bad blood' that happend.
TKE209Sweethrt: please, feel free to PM or email me at any time. I've been there and would love to help (in some very very small way) another group succeed.
BEST WISHES!!!!
