Hello everyone!
I'm in a local sorority and to be honest, we're quite happy on our own. We thought about joining this organization of locals, but quickly decided against it as there were no clear-cut answers or definitive benefits in joining. No offense to the organizers (we think getting all locals together is wonderful) but this seemed like it wasn't though-out well enough. It's a big task to undertake; one that requires much planning and consideration. There just seemed to be too many "what if's" that weren't answered. We didn't want to jump into anything without having our questions answered fully and clearly.
Now, holding a convention where all locals can get together to share their thoughts and experiences, would be great! It's always a treat to be around fellow greeks, and we would love nothing more than to see all locals prosper. But to ask them to hand-over their hard-work and identity, isn't fair. We're local for a reason.
Just to make it clear, we have nothing against nationals. lol. We respect and have warm feelings for all greeks. We're local because our school doesn't recognize ANY greek organizations. There were no national orgs on our campus to join... so our Founders created their own Sisterhood. We have been going strong for 8 1/2 yrs now, and everything we achieve is on our own, without school help. This is hard lol... but it can be done. We still manage to recruit, it's just done "underground." lol. But hey, like they say, 'anything worth having is worth working hard for.'
Anyway, good luck to everyone this semester!!!!
