This is so much fun reading your updates! When (not if) you get your new chapter, I'll kind of feel like it's a Greek Chat chapter--put together with support from all the GLOs!

You go!!! Here is a tip though. Don't worry about the monopoly the other sorority has on the frateritietes. Guys love meeting new girls. Especially if girls make first contact. All you have to do (which should probably be some one else's job since youre so buys) is to call and say you want to have a mixer. We love that. Theta Chi should be cool with it. We like girls. Plus the other interest groups. I'm pledging a colony, and when we were in the interest group stage we merged with another interest group, and another couple guys that were working for another fraternity. So the fraternity interest groups might be interested in hanging out with you guys. Best of luck!!!

I'm getting a little nervous about my meeting! Technically, my public school can't reject an NPC chapter can they? Do you think any NPC sorority will want to colonize? Aaaagh I'm just being low self esteemish!!!

Corina,
Don't let insecurity and self doubt get the best of you. You have come so far in such a short amount of time. You are doing great. If you stay positive and focused, you will accomplish any goal that you set for yourself including this one.

[mmcat]

I am so proud of all the hard work you've done to get yourself this far! Don't let anything get in your way...including the occasional moments of self-doubt. You have every reason to believe that this will work out for you, and you have all of us here cheering you on!! Keep your chin up, babe! We're all behind you!!

Hey all,

I had my second meeting with John today! I wrote up the letter he asked me to write, expressing my interest, and I got the signatures together of all the girls who are also interested. It was a quick meeting, but he basically said he was going to get in touch with NPC and figure out the format of the info letter they want, and he was going to get to work gathering campus stats (ie, number of female students, number of greek orgs, etc). Sometime like early next week he's going to try to get a conference call going with me, him, my friend Jennifer (a co-founder), and NPC, so we can figure all this stuff out. The best part was when he said, "so we're really doing this?!" and I explained to him that this was kinda my baby and I couldn't help but be nervous now that it was mostly out of my hands, but I was excited. I just hoped that this would all come together. And he told me that it was definitely happening and things would be great!!! In addition to this, I can't imagine why an NPC group wouldn't want to colonize here- at least a couple will most likely be interested right? Oh, when I was there, I saw Mary, and things were a little akward but mostly ok. She told me to call her if I needed anything, and I feel that she was sincere. I'm soooo happy!!!!

[greeklawgirl]

I'm so excited for all of you! I cannot believe the progress you've made in such a short time. You're making history here, and I'm so happy that all of us here on GC had a part in it...even if it was rather small.

Let us know when you hear anything further! YAY!

[AGDLynn]

I am so impressed with your go-to-it-ness!!

When you finally graduate into the "real world", this will definitely impress employers..if they had any sense, lol!
