I've been around GC for a while, and I've seen my share of what I consider somewhat wacky alumnae who are interested in sorority membership. I've also seen countless rush threads where women post about being cut from all houses and then come back the next semester or the next year (or multiple times) with the same result.

This has all made me somewhat skeptical, and I can't help but (sometimes) think that "shopping around" is just the positive spin that a woman puts on a situation where she is, in one way or another, rejected from a group, or perhaps more than one group. Sometimes I get the sense that a woman is so desperate for membership that I would never believe her if she claimed that she didn't feel that such and such organization was a good fit for her.

Please note that I am not referring to anyone here.

All excellent points of view, and kddani thanks for weighing in. You're welcome over here in the land of silver and bordeaux anytime you like to visit.


Okay, time for the love-fest. Sistermadly, I know I've said it before but I'll say it again. I just feel so blessed that you found Alpha Phi...you are one smart cookie!

I see your points about discretion in regards to any sort of recruitment.....but I guess my bottom line is, if someone wants to know a little more about Alpha Phi (and are willing to accept the fact that there she has some secrets too) then by golly that person should be able to have that information - potential member or not. Maybe I'm just silly but I love telling people about the wonderful group I am a part of.
