Rushing a Colony after Resigning from Local Sorority

[KSUViolet06]

The colonization team might not aware of her having been a member of this local (because the team doesn't go to school there).

However, don't MOST expansion teams work closely with the campus Panhellenic or Greek Council or whatever (even if there is no Panhellenic, there is something like that on campus?) So even if they should happen to not know, somebody involved with GL on campus is probably going to be like "hey that girl was president of XYZ!"

THiS.

darjeeling, there aren't that many expansions going on in the NPC at the present time. We all have our fingers on the pulse of expansion, because it is thrilling and exciting for a chapter to have a new colony. You have posted your situation on the internet for everyone to see. Believe me that Panhellenic = we all talk to and with each other, all the time. The particular expansion team on your campus is going to check out everything, and I mean everything, about each potential new member. There won't be any unturned stones. Right out of the gate, an expansion chapter wants to be 100% on top of the game.

There is no blowing sunshine to make this all better for you coming from me. No rationalizations, explanations, sugar coating. These may be harsh words, but for me, they are my truth and need to be spoken. Crystal ball says: highly unlikely.

I've read all of the posts and have held off giving my opinion for some time. To the OP, you had your chance at sisterhood and jumped in with both feet. Being President indicates a level of participation above and beyond the average sister. It would be an immense slap in the face to your former sorority for a new NPC group to come onto a campus and pledge you after you went from their President to a disaffiliated sister. If you can't see this, then you haven't thought about it long enough.

When new chapters are being formed, they have to think about more than individual members, they have to think about their position on campus and relations with other campus organizations. This would set a standard of disrespect for another sorority (whether or not they carry the banner of NPC) especially since you were the PRESIDENT. Think twice about disrespecting the women you once called sisters in this way. It likely won't be worth it.
