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!

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.

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.

Your a dork!

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

When I contacted a different sorority last summer, let's call them Terrier, the alum chapter president didn't think that Terrier did AI's at all. I remember her words being, "You sound perfect for our organization, but I'm not even sure we do them [AI]." I wasn't sure how to tell her "Oh but you do! Headquarters told me you do!!!!"

Buttonz, your friend is going to have to find a perfectly tactful way of reminding certain chapter presidents that AI is allowed in the sorority.

Good luck to her!

At Hogwarts, Hufflepuff is the one that is yellow and black. Ravenclaw is blue and bronze.

If you are using the sorority's colors, then that is a different case.

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