Does it matter? She's giving you sound advice. Check the stickies at the top of the AKA and DST forums. Same thing applies. D9 or not, we've been around long enough to know what we're talking about.

Going to an information session would not make you look like an ass...thus the reason they call it an information session. Every chapter is different. Every person is different. Every GLO is different. I too concur with statements above, it would be in your best interest to contact a member on your campus. What are you doing now to improve your grades? They will probably want to know that and the reason behing you having a low-gpa at this point in your academic career. Just some things to think about.

Good luck on your pursuit.

Heart (I dare not write the rest),

Your screenname and that fact that you are not an Alpha is raising eyebrows for those who are in the D9 who have read and not responded. I read the thread when you first posted it.

The Alphas have this thread stuck at the top http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=38767 which will be very helpful to you.

Informational sessions are meant to be helpful for all aspirants. Right now you are on the road to Greekdom. Even if you are not chosen this year, the information imparted will be helpful in getting you ready and closer to your Greek aspirations.

Also your screenname is really stepping over the Greek boundaries if you will. To use "06" in your screenname implies that you are an Alpha. Some might say it is not so serious, but for a lot of D9 Greeks it is.

I would suggest attending the informational to learn the specifics for your campus and the Alpha chapter that you have your sights set on.

Best wishes.

Oh the irony...

And you know what, as a member of the D9 who is part of the next greek organization that will be celebrating its centennial, I find your username personally and extrememly offensive. Because my father, the Far Western Regional Director of Life Membership for this wonderful Fraternity, fought long and hard for his gains in his life. And he attended his centennial celebration with my mother who is one of my sorority sisters... I am just getting angrier as I type, so I will stop.

@ your father!

And yes, very ironic.

As a long time member of the D9 and the first BGLO, I find your screenname flattering and motivational

No problem, but to be respectful of the members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated, I would seriously take heed to what was mentioned in the post above me.

But she's not a member of the D9 either. And at least the other two are members of a GLO.

Yet the advice that was given directed him back to the chapter and didn't stone him for the question that was asked. There is a way to politely answer a question - everyone doesn't need a beating when asking a generalized question.

I'll be honest here...I think that going to an information session and asking if your borderline GPA would hurt your chances of getting in is alot like going into a restaurant in an affluent section of town and asking how much the drink specials are.

The truth is, they are probably not going to be able to tell you...it's like anything else...if they really want you, they'll look over it, if GPA is extremely important to that particular chapter, they won't.

The problem is, they don't know you yet.

[f8nacn]

f8nacn doesn't have the same rep on the general forums...but have you read much of what she's posted on the D9 boards?

/Not even addressing the irony this situation presents.

How this became a personal attack against me I don't know.... Why hate, because he received what I said because I said the exact same thing in a more tactful manner.

Anyway, to the statement above, it doesn't matter. A person with minimal qualification can apply and receive a job over a person that has more experience because of character.
