I want to co-sign the previous entry...we also "rush" differently than NPC. We have various Soirees (Information Sessions) throughout the semester, not just during a 1 week period in the beginning of each semester.

We encourage ladies to attend information sessions with different organizations, in order to learn more about what is available. We have interest groups at each school so they get to know the sisters and each other better.

We have events with our interest group including community service, girl's night in, fundraising events, etc. Sometimes girls stay in the interest group for a few semesters until they are ready to pledge.

Also, just because a girl joins our interest group, doesn't mean she has to pledge for our organization. Maybe along the way, she find another GLO that she prefers or maybe she just doesn't end up pledging at all.

In addition to that, ladies do not have to be a part of our interest group in order to pledge.

Another co-sign to the above entry is the fact that we do keep close ties with all of our chapters. We aren't just a member at one school. We are a very close-knit organization and visit and support all of our sisters from all chapters, if possible. Not only that, but our pledge classes from our chapters are close and create a huge network of support for one another.

O-O-P-C...."Whiskers!!!"
