Apparently It Does Happen

And say, at the same time, Jane Smith #2 goes to PrivateU, does not go greek, and then transfers after one year to StateU. Jane Smith #2 wants to rush at StateU. Both women are named Jane Smith, they're both sophomores, and they both transferred from the same school. How does Jane Smith #2 prove she's not Jane Smith #1, an initiated ABC who is ineligible to rush and join a different NPC?

It sounds like most of our databases are complete enough for most of us to confirm membership when we need to in a matter of minutes (Miss America contestants in the Miss America thread, for example).

I meant that the NPC database would still include the above info. Our database includes more information than that (addresses, collegiate/alumna status, etc.) which needs regular updating and would be unnecessary for an NPC database. I assume ours also removes the names of women who have resigned their membership, and that would also be counter-productive for this project.

Wrong thread, sorry.

If we stress this to 18 yr old freshmenand hold them accountable for their "image" It's ridiculous to think image doesn't matter to companies or anyone who has money on the line.

I think, and I could be wrong so I ask that Nanners correct me if I am, that she is acknowledging that image does matter to the extent that we expect PNMs and sisters alike to make sure they put their best foot forward for something like recruitment so it's stupid to think that does not apply to you as an adult in the working world. Image can play a major role in you being gainfully employed.

I think that her post was posted in the wrong thread? Looks like it was meant for the Ray Rice thread.

Did I miss what that would have to do with this thread?

I thought Nanners was referring back to national websites having public information about member and chapter suspensions, expulsions, etc.

In the early days of our GLOs publishing this information, some members were apprehensive and felt it tainted the image of the GLOs and the individuals. It technically does but it serves an important purpose. I now wouldn't have it any other way.

/If Nanners wasn't talking about publishing info on websites, please disregard my post

This! So, so sorry. Explains why I couldn't find it in the rice thread. Was wondering if I'd imagined the post lol.

Wow. Last week I was named the Almighty Syllable Guru, and now I'm the Question Mark Quoter! I'm on a roll!

Haha! That turned weird as we were going from one thread to another. Whoops! Clearly it is my fault for accidentally posting in this thread when it was meant for another. Sorry about that! Please disregard my earlier post. Thanks.
