Could I Fit In ..?

[thetygerlily]

For better or for worse, posting in a specific forum does not limit the audience- many people don't even notice when things are posted in a specific forum. On the bright side, although you did perhaps break GC etiquette by calling out a specific organization, you didn't post the same message in 5 different forums telling them all that you want to join them and only them Yes, it's been done... all too often. Sounds like you just didn't quite realize how what you had to say would come off.

You likely will not be able to delete the thread (not really how it works around here), but if you stick around you may want to keep things less org-specific. And if you do disappear, I for one would like to hear how things go if you do decide to go through recruitment. Take a look at the "Recruitment Stories" forum and you can check out many different types of experiences & endings, as well as some great advice.

@LadyLonghorn: Those are definitely important things to think about. Thanks.

This one doesn't seem like a troll. Trolls create much more drama.

[qbt1990]

It's still pretty damn funny, troll or not!

@MysticCat: I would really like to stress that I was not trying to be presumptuous nor close-minded about recruitment. It's just how I make all my decisions: Learn more, decide, but be open to changing my mind. I'm okay with the thread staying open; I'm sure the topic will tire itself in a few days.

@LadyLonghorn: I'm not a Longhorn. If I chose to rush, I would probaly have the most difficulty because of recs and class standing, I'm sure.

You guys, I truly apologize for the word vom. I clearly need to be more precise with my wording and def should have filtered myself before going all Pollyanna on GC.

[TexasPNM13]

Well, I'm glad I was able to entertain some of you for a bit.

[TexasPNM13]

@LadyLonghorn: *probably

[IrishLake]

texaspnm... best of luck with whatever you decide! Just be sure if you do decide to rush, find a way to get those recs.

Good luck with your recruitment and finding a home with one of the great sororities that are on your campus.

I applaud who you are and the way you are handling yourself. There was a girl in a sorority on my campus about 10 years ago that came out as a lesbian when she was either a 2nd semester junior or a 1st semester senior, I can't remember which. And some of her sisters felt a little betrayed by her trying to keep who she was hidden in order to do what she thought was necessary to "fit in". I'm just glad you seem to be going about this the right way.

Just please be open to every group. Look at every group equally in the beginning. And get your recs in order. Otherwise, good luck!

I am going to say it -

Your chances of getting a bid as a known lesbian, let alone functioning as an open lesbian (taking your girlfriend to formal, etc) are slim to none.

You're talking Texas, traditional, red-state, traditional, stereotypical Greek life. Ain't happening...

None of the sororities at my university allow sisters to take other women as dates to functions. This is not that uncommon.

PS- A PNM who spouts off facts about a sorority to its sisters is annoying. Through our mutual selection process you will end up where you are supposed to be: in Kappa, in another house, or in no house at all. Those women receiving bids will learn many many many Kappa facts. Showing that you have done your research will not increase your chances of receiving a bid, especially if it appears that you are fixated on knowing the facts and not the sisters.

Psssst....this thread is a year old.

Although it could end up being useful to MikeEllis, so whatever.

I kinda wonder how this turned out.
