Hi everyone,
No real news to speak of. We've gotten together most everything we need to send to Theta Nu Xi, but I accidently sent the packet home with a sister who I can't currently get in touch with. So, a few days ago I emailed the expansion coordinator from ONE with a list of everything we have in our Declaration of Interest packet, to make sure we aren't missing anything. Once we get an email back from her, I'll send it off! I'm feeling a little discouraged about the whole thing though...I probably won't end up being initiated as a member (if they choose to definitely expand on our campus) while I'm actually attending UCSC, so that's a disapointment. Sometimes I start to feel sorry for myself because it seems like I've put in so much work,and I don't know when I'll be able to experience tangible results. But, I know that just what we've accomplished so far is amazing, and I'm extremely happy about that. We're making progress on fall rush- we have a cute rush theme, which I will describe once I talk to everyone in NBO and make sure they're all for it. And, we have money for t shirts and whatnot, so things should go well. I'm curious to see how the DOC/MTV thing affects rush in general on our campus- I don't know that a whole lot of attention will be generated in fall, but after the show airs, who knows what may happen. I don't feel particularly positive about the whole thing, but who knows, maybe I'm totally off. I would really like it if I were way off actually. Anyway, I anticipate this next year being somewhat of a turning point for us. I don't know how I'm going to do everything- I currently have a schedule that involves working every Mon-Fri (new job-makeup wasn't paying enough) from 9-5, and then being in class from 6-9 each night. So altogether I'm going to be insanely busy, but hopefully things will fall into place. Once again, I really really appreciate the support and continued interest of everyone on Greekchat- it's the little things like that which really make me feel like we can end up accomplishing the goals we set for ourself.
