[soxman13]

ummm.
1) FIU still has Phi Mu, they weren't "cancelled."
2) If your campus has Phi Mu and you chose to participate in Greek life, yes, you would have to be in Phi Mu. It would be up to that chapter whether or not they would affiliate you, though. Unless you resign, you will be a Phi Mu. And even if you do resign, you will not be able to join another NPC sorority.

Just to be clear, if he campus does NOT have Phi Mu, she can not participate in Greek life.

Oh! Good call.

[lovespink88]

If my guess is correct, it appears as though the Phi Mu colony at this school was never chartered (found a few posts about it here on GC). Phi Mus, do you guys initiate before a chapter is installed? If not, then OP is not a member...?

[soxman13]

so i would i have to be in phi mu. what would be some of the reasons to why they maybe wouldn't affiliate you into their chapter

[soxman13]

i have a badge so i think after they decide what girls they want they give you the badges

QFP.

Oy, my head hurts, someone take over.

ETA: Since the OP edited her original post to include the name of the school, I guess this is safe to post now: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...=105222&page=4

They're talking about Lynn at the top of the page. A member confirms that the colony was never chartered.

I guess I should let Phi Mus take over and handle the questions from here

I would suggest that you contact Phi Mu Headquarters and inquire as to your
membership status. If the colony was never installed, there's a good chance that
you were never initiated. If you were never initiated, then you are free to participate in recruitment and pledge another NPC chapter.

I've never heard of an NPC "giving" anyone badges. Pledge/new member pins yes, badges no.

[soxman13]

i meant to say pins

do you think 23 is too old

For you to type the way you are? Absolutely. You're not texting.

She says she was initiated and has a badge. That seems strange, but I don't know what happened at Lynn.

I'm guessing that she doesn't know initiation from a pledge ceremony or an active's badge from a ppppledge ppppin. (Niedermeyer style)

OP, what is the story behind your username? It sounds quite masculine.
