Sorority Shopping?

MBurden, I'm trying to find the nicest way to say this...

To accuse James of not having reviewed the board adequately is uncalled for. It is obvious to me, by his post, that he has in fact reviewed the board, and has narrowed the question to a more manageable one. Instead of trying to address everything about AI, he has honed his question on the one aspect of it that, through his observations, is causing most of the commotion.

And, with respect to your attitude towards NPC alumnae, it seems as if you're the one harboring resentment, not the collegiate-initiated alumnae. So, as for your last comment, I feel like saying to you, "If you can't treat collegiate-initiated alumnae with the same respect and dignity as the AI members, then don't join. They certainly don't need your negativity."

I would agree. Disparaging remarks about sisters is usually cause for discipline in many sororities. It certainly isn't going to help you get in.

I'm not trying to put on a "show" for someone or changing my opinion or attutude to 'get in'...I guess the difference is I am approaching AI from an ADULT perspective and not from a collegiate perspective.

I am not concerned in any way about where I am in the process...if it's a fit, then it will be a fit, if it's not a fit, then it was never meant to be.

I don't sit up awake at night worrying about it.
