You're right, obviously they didn't. But then again we don't know when this took place. Rush was very different 10, 20, 30 years ago.

With social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, even GreekChat...it definitely makes it easier these days to find out if someone's trying to cheat the system.

Of course, someone who alerts the entire internet that a gal from her dorm's is trying to cheat the system makes it a whole lot easier too.

Don't worry about it. It isn't your business to interfere. Let the collegians and Panhellenic take care of it. Worry about your own rush.

Yes, but Number 1, people have lives & obligations (and for the alumnae helping out at Recruitment: they have spouses, perhaps kids, jobs, pets, aging parents, etc.) and Number 2, it doesn't really set up a great precedent if you treat rushees with suspicion right off the bat. Basically people are busy and maybe finding out someone who wants to initiated in sorority #2 isn't a priority initially.

As to how people would find out - unless someone was to sever all ties with their former contacts, families, etc. a la a witness protection program, they WILL get found out. With Facebook, Twitter, Meet Up, Linked In, GC and the 5 gazillion other social networking devices out there, they will get found out.

Remember, we are talking about sorority women here, and sorority women (and women in general) DO TALK.

Bumping.

Maelynn1 · #5 09-07-2009, 06:20 PM

Trust me, It's all very confidential

No worries there!

I just want to know if NPC has a specific way of finding out?

In the situation of my story. The 1st chapter required a reference. It was the reference writer who called her National Panhellenic representative. The reference was for a young lady she had known since birth but did not live in the same state. She did however travel to 1st State U for the initiation. Young Lady knew very well what she was doing. She dodged all questions regarding her time at 2nd State U. Since reference writer lived 1000 miles away and no longer saw family it was easy.

The other school was in a part of the country where I believe references are not required or if they are she got them from people who didn't know her history. it was very slick but very upsetting to long time family friend.

Gosh, I bet so. I would be so ticked and hurt by any young woman who did this to me. In my mind, any reference I write means I am endorsing her/vouching for her/willing to say she is my sister. If I did that for a girl, and she turned her back on my gesture and threw away the opportunity she was given......well, let's just say my manners are keeping me from being more explicit!

Geez, you grill out with your family for the holiday and look what you miss.

In short, there's no huge database of every girl who has ever been initiated into an NPC sorority, but in the age of Facebook/MySpace/etc, the sorority world is VERY small.

Even if you aren't immediately found out, it will typically come to light at some point that you were intiated elsewhere.

I believe that most NPCs will terminate the memberships of women who are found to have been members of other groups.

It also makes you look shady when you get caught.

So it's not something I recommend people trying to get away with.

See what happens when you have a social life?

She just wanted her question answered and here is what I think:

NO there is no definite way of knowing however, I'm sure whoever it is will be found out. IF you know, then I'm sure more people are going to end up knowing and it could spread around campus.

Also, If she joins one and posts that she is in one on her profile on facebook, myspace or whatever & the other sorority sees it... well, you get the picture!

Hope this actually does help you/your friend!

violetpretty · #11 09-08-2009, 08:16 AM

No, there is no NPC database.

But really, how could one get away with it? "The girl in your dorm" from NC State would have to defriend all of her NC State friends on facebook plus cease all communications with anyone who knew of her affiliation at NC State. Or, just delete everything about her new sorority on her fb page at App. People talk. She really won't get away with it.

Ask "the girl in your dorm" if she'd rather have membership in 0 or 1 sororities. Because those are her choices, eventually.

So the KD, Phi Mu, Alpha Phi and AOPi houses at Appalachian just need to check with the Zeta, DG, Pi Phi and Tri-Delt chapters at North Carolina State about any transfers coming through recruitment from that school. Since there are sorority members from both of these schools on Greekchat, I don't think this will be much of a problem at all. Good luck to the "girl in your dorm."

lol....

This happened at another NC school a couple years ago. The girl was busted by round two. And now thanks to Greek Chat so is "the girl from her dorm" too.

If she is speaking for herself, she will get caught. Her family SHOULD say something, since they all know that this is not right. And I would think it would be a great disrespect to them to try to play the system that they all played by, and probably respect, since there are so many different groups you are legacy to.

On the other hand, if there is a "girl from my dorm", I'm sure she is telling all her family about it, (the whole internet knows, why not mom and sis?). And one of them should step up and speak up about it.

Maelynn1 · #15 09-08-2009, 11:15 PM

Hello all! Recruitment orientation is tomorrow, I'm now excited... I talked with my family a lot about it all tonight and despite what everyone on here thinks, I think it's going to be a good experience for me. I am just going with the flow to see how it all goes. Wish me luck!
