Here is the point you're missing. The advice I gave was general information that anyone would give. I in no way said anything that seemed like I was giving any insider info on member selection. I know my univerisities culture and know that things don't change that quickly. The upperclass quota is pretty dang new so while ladybug only said it wasn't as hard I find that to be misleading. To be quite honest wouldn't anything anyone said on here, outside of current greek women at Ole Miss, be considered hearsay?

So do you think that they keep all the indepent students in cages except for class and then there is a magical barrier keeping the greek students away? Do you think that the greek students can smell our independence and ran away screaming if we got too close? People talk and the attitudes are made very clear.

I'm not Jewish nor been in a synagogue for that matter. Does that mean that if someone askes me what kosher is then I can't give a general answer? No I've never taken kosher, but I have a good idea and can give general information.

Splash, I don't know who your bestie is but apparently she wasn't at initiation. There were 7 other girls who had gone through COB with me and I was apparently NOT a college student nor anyone that most of the women there knew so she couldn't have been there. I do know that if she is REALLY that concerned with this information it would take a very little amount of effort to ask ANYONE in the alumni chapter about the brand new AI that graduated from Ole Miss. I saw 2 of them last night. They're pretty clear on who I am. You can also tell your friend to just come to book club in a few weeks. It's going to be at my apartment this time and we're reading "The Girl with No Shadow." Can I be anymore clear?

I stand behind my advice. OP is going in with a disadvantage. The best thing to do is be prepared, read the forums, and put your best foot forward.

And just for those who don't know what a bye week is, bless your hearts, it means when there is no home football game.

OP, you are going in with a disadvantage, but there is nothing you can do about that. Recruitment could be in September or October, fyi. It's scheduled on a bye week. The best thing to do is read the threads and be prepared.

You may have attended Ole Miss but you were not Greek there. You are a recent alumna initiate on the other side of the country. You're not in a position to act like an expert on the membership selection and quota policies of chapters there.

I added myself to the DZ's on GC thread, but wanted to introduce myself furthur! I am very honored to say that the women of Delta Zeta have given me the honor of being an Alumna Initiate. I had an amazing night and am so grateful to be able to share such a beautiful ritual! I can't wait for all the many wonder years as a Delta Zeta!

*Alleged alumnae initiate.

My best friend in the entire world from high school is in this chapter.

WHAT????

She says it right there in her posts. There is nothing "alleged" about it. Are you saying Barbie's_Rush made those posts up?

Here are the LINKS.

Or are you saying that you think DZTurtle11 isn't a DZ AI at all and she's a psycho stalker?

I think Splash is saying DZTurtle may be a perp. Splash's post rubbed me the wrong way.

I hope Splash has a reason to say that and isn't just saying that to share that she has a friend in that alumnae chapter. It takes nothing to know whether someone is a perp if you know someone from that chapter.

Has Splash ever publicly said her affiliation?

If DZTurtle is legit, all it would take is a DZ checking the member database to confirm. Since she was initiated just a month ago, she may or may not be in there.

I know my org. often recognizes AI-ed women in our Quarterly publication.

And, BTW, NO quota is mandatory! They are all optional. Now, they may get in trouble with their national if they purposely don't pledge quota or freshman quota, though not so much so with upperclass quota. But it is always optional for all concerned.

Exactly. Heck, even if a group looks at the rushee pool and says "I don't want any of these hobags in my sorority!" (LOL) they don't have to take any of them. Panhel cannot force them to do so, and even their national can't (although as Titchou very correctly stated, they will have some 'splainin to do).

I would hope a rushee pool would never be that horrid, but we are talking about things that are possible - not probable, normal or common.

DZTurtle11 is saying that she was initiated as an Alumnae Initiate at the same time that 7 collegiate members who had joined thru COB activities were initiated. I know of several NPC sororities who do this. The AI usually has never had contact with the collegiate chapter prior to her initiation, and the collegiate members may not know anything about a "grownup" woman being initiated prior to the ceremony. It sounds incredible that they would not be aware of this, but I have seen (or heard) of it happening.

In ZTA, and it appears this holds true for DZ as well, the alumna initiate is considered an alumna member of whatever collegiate chapter initiates her, hence why DZTurtle11 says she is a member of Rho chapter.

[Titchou]

That's the way Delta Gamma works too. You are initiated at a collegiate chapter during one of their regularly scheduled initiations. You are then considered a member of that chapter no matter where you may have attended school.

She certainly could have worded it better but her lack of Greek experience is probably why she didn't.

Well bless your heart. I tried to be nice. I really did.

I get that you have been a member of Delta Zeta for a whole 35 days and are super duper excited to finally be a member of an NPC sorority. The only thing you can speak of with any kind of authority is how to AI into your local DZ chapter. You are looking like a person who wasn't able to get a bid at an SEC school who AIed the minute she could and is now grasping at ways to make herself relevant to the collegiate experience. It's everything the people who disagree with the concept of AI object to.

In other words, you need to sit down and STFU.

Unless, of course, you want to tell us what happens when someone has "taken Kosher".
