Question about joining a colony this fall!
Hi, all! I just recently found out that Alpha Xi Delta will be colonizing at my school, Kennesaw State University, in fall 2015 and I just have a few questions since I am extremely interested in being a part of this new colony. I've always really admired Alpha Xi Delta's principles and philanthropy (my brother is on the autism spectrum so that hits really close to home for me), and I would love to be a part of such a strong organization.
I will be a senior this upcoming fall (graduating May 2016) and I've been very involved on my campus. I filled out the interest form on their website, which asked for my high school GPA/activities as well as my college GPA/activities. I was a strong student in high school with a 3.3 GPA and I was an honor graduate, member of marching/concert band, academic team, etc. As for college, I currently have a 3.0 GPA. In terms of my campus involvement, I've been a member of a national service sorority for three years, and I'm currently serving as president of my chapter. For my sorority, we're required to have 25 hours of service per semester so after this semester, I'll have over 100+ hours. I've also been involved with the French club on campus and the concert band for two years.
Just in case you're going to ask why I'm interested in joining this colony/new sorority (since I have been quite successful with my current one), it's primarily because I want to experience what Panhellenic has to offer, as well as use what I've learned within my time in my other sorority to help found a new chapter on campus. I absolutely love my service sorority but I'm looking to branch out and join a more nationally-recognized organization. (And just a note, my organization has no restrictions on being a part of a social organization as well).
I understand that colonies are looking for new members that will be able to help shape a new chapter on campus. Given all of what I've listed here, would ya'll think I have a pretty decent shot at getting a bid into the colony? I don't know all the specifics on their recruitment process yet, but I am planning to attend their PR events on campus in the upcoming weeks. I also understand that being a part of a colony is a lot of hard work and dedication but I am absolutely willing to give it my all.
