I was so appalled about the MTV stuff that I forgot to tell you "CONGRATULATIONS!!!"

wishinhopin · #**1037** 04-25-2003, 11:23 PM

I wanted everyone to know exactly what was going on, so I thought I would copy and paste this email...I feel like this could be just what we're looking for!

Hi Corina,

I've presented your case to Nationals, and they have agreed to look into expanding at UC Santa Cruz. Before we continue, I want to be absolutely certain that you ladies are prepared to give up your letters, and be a part of our intake and expansion process, keeping in mind that your intake and ours is most probably different.

Am I correct in saying that all of the members of Nu Beta Omicron are interested in expanding nationally to Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc.? If so, we need to address the possible scenario of some of the girls (for one reason or another), dropping out or losing interest in Theta Nu Xi. If this happens, will they remain a chapter/entity of Nu Beta Omicron on the campus?

Please discuss this with the other ladies in your group, and let me know your thoughts & comments. I look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully, beginning the process of expansion and colonization! Corina, I am really excited about this, and if you have any questions at all, feel free to give me a call -

By the way (Corina again now) if you haven't looked at the website for this org, I highly recommend it. Not only their national but also many of their chapters have SUCH amazing websites...we all wanted to be members just based on that!

That is a very odd statement - why would anyone want to be a member of an organization just based on their website? Maybe I read that wrong - if so please clarify

wishinhopin · #**1039** 04-26-2003, 12:56 AM

It was a joke meant to convey just how impressive their websites really are, I didn't seriously mean that we wanted to join just based on a website.

That's what drew me in!

j/k. Seriously, I love my sorority. I met one of the member here when I was searching for a home. She was so sweet. Sending me emails when I was going thur some personal things. Giving me pep talks when I was doubting myself. Plus it helped that she had the similar experience finding her Greek home as I had.

Not only am I proud to call her my friend, but on August 3,2002, I was able to call her my sister

Corina,

As you see from our website, we just added two new colonies late last year. I've been a member for almost a yeat, and believe me when I tell you joining Theta Nu Xi was the best thing I every did. I'm not going to try and sell you on my organization. That would be unfair. I'm glad that you are interested in my organization. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me

Do you want to start a multi-cultural? Nothing wrong with it, but that is VERY different from NPC. And I thought the whole point was to start an NPC group?

Peaches-n-Cream · #**1047** 04-27-2003, 06:15 PM

James raises an interesting point. I hope that you and your NBO Sisters strongly weigh all of your options including NPCs. It is nice that Theta Nu Xi is interested in NBO.

navane · #**1048** 04-27-2003, 08:52 PM

If I remember correctly, there was one point in the saga where some of the NBO ladies expressed to Corina that they wanted to consider a multi-cultural org. After some discussion, they decided to stay the course with an NPC. However, it would appear that they are revisiting the idea of affiliating with a MCGLO.

wishinhopin · #**1049** 04-28-2003, 12:13 AM

We have decided that considering groups individually, as opposed to which category they fit into (ie NPC, etc). So basically we were so impressed with Theta Nu Xi, that the lack of NPC affiliation is not a huge problem for us. Things just didn't work out with NPC, so hopefully this will be a better fit for us.

More later.....

We offered bids to four great women tonight! Yay us!

Congrats on your 4 New Members, Corina! Look out world, NBO is growing every day!
