Thanks to all the people who sent me private messages with words of encouragement and advice. Also thanks to all the rude posters who chastised me for my "insensitive remarks". If I knew how to delete this post I would. God Bless.

Bottomline...I no longer want to join sorority #1. I was abused as a child and I refuse to take an unnecessary beat down. I am now interested in sorority #2. I feel like going to the meeting for #1 was a mistake and I was only pleasing my family. Sorority #2 satisfies my needs and plus they don't haze.

Is it possible to join sorority #2 without causing problems. Im certain that they won't have a problem but I know sorority #1 and my supervisor would be disappointed at the least. Help! Should I just wait until I graduate to join the grad chapter or do you have any HELPFUL suggestion??

Please don't preach to me, saying "you should have done your research"...just help me clear up this mistake. If 22 AKAs changed their mind, Im sure I can too. Thanks

This is about the difference between NPHC sororities and NPC sororities.

Replace the practice of "pledging" with "membership intake process" and research how this differs from the NPC recruitment and rush practices.

Good luck.

Why did she list the NPHC sororities at the end, like we don't know?

I was ready to offer my .08 until you got to this. You could've kept that.

Or italics, or like a font size bigger than standard. Maybe she's trying to make a STATEMENT.

I was on the slow bus when I read this quote. But this is a really low blow for a sorority that you are possibly interested in.
