My Friends AI Journey

I have a friend who is looking into AI, and with her okay, I thought I'd post her journey (hopefully) for you all to read.

In college, none of the national sororities and her clicked. Now out of school she feels that she is missing something.

There are four groups that she is currently looking at right now. Seeing as how I'm in the process of re-reading Harry Potter, I'm going to name them after the houses.

She has contacted all of them so far, and only heard back from one, Ravenclaw. She responded to the e-mail that she got from HQ, and is hoping for more information soon. Ravenclaw would have been her #1 choice if they were on her campus as an undergrad.

The other 3, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin, she is still waiting to hear back from them.They are all great groups.

As far as I know, there have been AI's into 3 out of these 4 groups here on GC. She isn't on GC, and she isn't planning on joining GC unless something works out, which is why I'm posting this for her. I am really excited for her, and hoping that she will be able to find her home.

Any reference to Harry Potter will suck me right in. I am hoping she finds her perfect home! I will stay tuned!

Good-luck to your friend! I hope she finds a home!

Hijacking this thread to say that what colors did each house have? Gryffindor is Maroon and Gold and Slytherin is Green and Silver, but what about the other two? And oh yea, good luck to your friend.

Your a dork!

Hufflepuff = blue & white (I think the white, I know for sure the blue)
Ravenclaw = yellow & black

Update:

She has been contacted by the president of the Alumnae Chapter of Slytherin. However, the president asked her what chapter she was from, so she had to explain again that she was looking into AI, and not a sister.

Is this a common thing? You'd think that a president of an AA would know about AI (or at least I would think so).

Still waiting for replies from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

Thanks for the replies and good wishes for her.

Yes it is common. Some of our Presidents don't know. Irritating to no end....

Hey all!

I know I've been lacking on updates, life has been crazy since I got back.

My friend met with Slytherin today, and she is meeting with them again on Sunday. The president of the AI chapter offered to sponser her for intiation, and she is going to apply, and hopefully she will recieve a bid and know she is home.

I'm hoping it won't take to long!

YAY!

So, if the president of the Alumnae Chapter is sponsoring her and she's filling out the application, I'm assuming there still needs to be a vote at HQ or something along those lines? I just get the feeling this is very very promising!

I'm so excited!

Yes, now there is a vote that has to be taken at HQ. I'm really hoping this works out. Out of the five housesshe lookedi nto this one was always one of her favs so this is all good news.

Wow, I just read this thread for the first time today.

If this ain't sorority shopping, then I don't know what is.

Just sayin'.
