This is a pretty sad situation, but a couple of years ago (I pledged in 1998) we were told that we needed to initiate our girls before the end of Fall Semester
For what reason is what we wanted to know? Our chapter consecutively proved that we were the best on campus when it comes to academics so why would they make a group of girls who are doing everything right, initiate early?
We had the SH of Chi Omega call our chancellor and explain our process...that we wait until grades! We felt like we were being chastised for something we'd always prided ourselves in!
So now we have to initiate sometime over Winter Break or else we'll get into trouble. I think it's sad they have to come down on a chapter that does everything by the rules. Personally I'm glad I had to wait a semester to initiate. It gave me something to work for by keeping my grades up so I didn't dissapoint my chapter and myself! That is just my opinion!
