I feel moderately better. I'm still super worried about money, because if I'm not able to cancel the shirt order then I'm going to go waaaay into debt (washington mutual charges me 20 bucks for every bounced check, things could get ugly). But, if that happens, it happens, it's just money right? We had a meeting, and I expressed some of my concerns about being left out of the process and not having as much say as I wanted to. I think I conveyed to the other girls just how much work I've put into this and just how much I care about it. It really is my baby, so to speak. Our plan is this: the five of us (we have a core group of five now, woo hoo!) are going to work on getting out recruitment fliers this quarter. We're going to make a webpage and put that on the fliers, and basically advertise that we are a brand new sorority looking for members who can join us to affiliate. So we aren't rushing new members, rather, we're just going to get to know interested women on a case by case basis. So they can check out the webpage, email or call us, and we can set up little phone interviews or in person interviews with them. And, hopefully, by spring quarter we will have gotten all of our stuff together enough to have a formal rush. We're still working to affiliate, but we're also going to plan lots of local stuff for this quarter so we have something to show for ourselves. I just wanted to mention right now how completely amazed I am at the help that people have been offering me. People I have never met, except for talking to on greekchat, have offered me money, letters of recommendation, ideas, support, and just general caring. This is to me what a true sisterhood is, and I am so glad that I didn't get into Gamma Phi, or else I might not have had the chance to appreciate all of the amazing women here. More updates later!
love, Corina
