Yanno, that being said, when I was an interest, waayyy back when, before you were even a gleam in your Daddy's eye, I couldn't have cared less about the probate show (which was legal back then.) All I was worried about was making line. And very honestly, depending on the org the OP is interested in, the process itself may be more than she can handle if her SAD isn't under control--and I am not talking about anything illegal.
The responses given here have nothing to do with people forgetting that they were interests. They have to do with what is the thing that sticks out most in your mind about joining an org. We have been fighting for awhile the issue of coming out shows/step shows being the most important component. So it did dismay me that the OP was more worried about that than anything else.
And the other thing is folx coming on public message boards to seek advice when they should really be talking to the advisor of their org of interest. Technology has made people lazy and indiscreet in their research.
The bottom line is none of us on here could give the OP a true answer, because we are not part of the chapter of interest, nor do we know any extenuating circumstances that may play into this.
So trust, I remember when I was a prospect and was denied my first time out. And I remember pledging for eight months, because that was how it was done then on my campus--legally. And I really remember discretion.
No one should be cuddled, because we on this board are not in a position to cuddle them and say go for it, it will be alright. But we can try to help the OP glean the other issues that may arise. If that is being mean or not remembering that we were all interests at some time, so be it. I think collectively our take is much more honest than yours with your limited experience.
