Foreign Exchange Student

[EnglishRose]

I've had a bit of an unclear email:

"I am glad that you are interested in Recruitment, yet according to NPC, all women participating in formal recruitment must be a "regularly matriculated student in the institution to be eligible to participate in formal recruitment." I believe regularly matriculated students by definition must be degree seeking students. From that perspective I do not believe you would be eligible, however, I think ultimately it should be left up to your decision. Hope this helps!"

I don't really understand how it can be my decision if they don't think I'm eligible. But it sounds as though ku don't have any specific rules against it, they're just unsure if the NPC do. I know exchange students from my uni that have joined npc sororities, so does that mean I would be eligible? It also doesn't clear up what I'd do about my application in terms of grades etc.

WhiteDaisy, I don't live near Gloucestershire, but I have a friend in Cheltenham that I am visiting next month and so could possible tie that in with meeting you. That would be great. I'll contact you on here if I do decide to apply.

Well that really was a bit ambiguous. I know for Delta Gamma, specifically, you have to be a "Full time student" - and I would assume that as an exchange student, you are considered full time. I'll shoot one of our Collegiate specialists an e-mail to get her opinion.

In any case, I do hope it works out for you. If you are visiting a friend in Cheltenham, it'd be very convenient to meet up. We are in a village right outside of Cheltenham. I can also put you in contact with our London Alumnae Association if it is easier for you.

Good luck getting a straight answer. I believe DG follows pretty similar "rules" as everyone else, so maybe my Collegiate Specialist friend can help shed light. I'll let you know what she says.
