The Fat Lady Sang

adduncan · #1 09-28-2003, 06:17 PM

The regional coordinator just called me and told me the answer was no.

This is the short version. I need a little time to collect my thoughts and I'll be posting the detailed version a little bit later.

The AI journey is over for me. I found my home but the door was locked. I will always keep my promise though, of supporting Greek life, whatever my status is, because I still believe it is the best way for collegiates to begin their foundation for their adult lives. And I'll be here too, just probably not posting as much.

And I will be forever grateful to those of you who encouraged me this past year. Each and every one of you is a credit to the organization you pledged for opening up Greek life to others regardless of where they are. You are the reason I always will support the Greek system.

Love,
Adrienne

I am so very sorry to hear this news. I know that you are just processing this disappointment right now, and I hope this statement doesn't seem like "too much too soon, " but I would like to take the time to suggest that in a while you may want to consider other options. Your enthusiasm for your search would suggest that you would make an extremely active member, and I know that all sororities need those in abundance. Just a thought.
Much Greek Love,
violets

Adrienne,

I am so sorry!

I know right now you must be hurt, but I do hope that you will reconsider alumna initiation. Who knows? Maybe the fat lady was just signaling the end to act one and not the end to the whole opera. You'll never know what act two holds for you unless you pursue it.

Please know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can help with, do not hesitate to let me know.
