So here I go..... - Page 3

Some time has passed but I thought I would give out a status check. I have recently spoken with someone from group #1 (Jimmy Choo) so I know what's going there and my info is now in transist to the local level. I had not heard from group #2 in a while (Manolo) so I emailed my contact there as well for a follow up. I had made local contact with my 3rd group...via HQ... (which I realized I never named.... so let's call them Stuart Weizman) but I had spoken to that person in a while. So emailed them back to see how things were going and if we could set up a time to meet and greet (we had been in the process of doing that but some scheduling things went wonky and we had to put it off for a couple weeks). So that's where we are. This thread may get quiet really soon b/c I had not thought about this (but it was pointed out on another thread) that most all NPC groups have conventions this summer and even if they don't their members, esp. HQ will be taking a well-deserved rest. So for me, I may not hear back from some people for a while unless my info gets to local groups in the next couple weeks.

So that's where things stand for now..... still in mini-limbo....

but at least I know the process is still in motion!

I'm so happy to see another PNAM post her story here.

I have done my research for which GLOs to pursue.

I have named the ones I will contact- and a few others that were in my undergrad school (all the ones present in my grad school were at my undergrad U., but not vice-versa). I gave them star names because I'm a science person and like astronomy.

I have PMed people in GC about the process.

I go on my vacation tomorrow and may not get internet access again until next Monday. But hopefully then I will be able to start contacting the necessary people.

Several of the GLOs I am interested in do have conventions in the summer. And I just found out just how busily booked I will be at work during the months of May and June. So waiting until after convention to contact them if necessary won't be too bad.

Good luck with AI. Let us know more.

UPDATE: I will be meeting with some people from my Stuart Weizman group on Friday!!! If anything changes I will let everyone know and also I will let every know how it goes.

Good luck! You certainly have the energy for it. Let us know what happens!

Thanks! I'm glad it seems like I still have some energy left!! Things haven't exactly been really fun at my job lately so that has been quite draining. Also I was consumed with studying for the LSAT (which I took yesterday) which was exhausting! I can't wait til I feel like I have my energy back

But at least I do have some good news on the AI front!

Well, I got to meet with my Stuart Weizman group tonight.... and things seemed to go ok.... I got to meet with the alum prez and a couple other alums. We'll see what they thought hopefully soon...

I am very excited for you. I have been corresponding via e-mail with the Regional Contact for the local sorority that I should have been a part of at college. She kept asking me if the local Alum president had contacted me and I said no, and then when I asked if they were out for the summer, she said that they were. I am hoping to hear something by the end of the summer.

Does anyone know if they do a separate initiation or do they initiate AI members with the new initiates from the fall rush with the college students.

Wouldn't that be cute?

It really depends...

I know someone who had her initiation ceremony conducted by all alumnae just for her.

I went through my ceremony the same evening as 12 collegiates. I think it was more fun that way because they were so excited that it made it more exciting for me! Some of them were really nervous!

We also took pictures of each other before the initiation even though I had never met them before that evening. They were all so welcoming and made me feel a part of their pledge class.
