All I keep reading is that the D9 or "traditional" orgs. don't offer this and don't offer that, yet no one can really tell us what that is. I haven't heard any mention of programs, initiatives, recruitment objectives, retention efforts, etc. As soon as those questions are asked, you either can't answer because you DON'T KNOW or the ever-confusing "I'm not going to 'justify' my org. to you...." BS. WTH?

Exactly.

I have to be honest and say I don't care what the newer orgs are about. That's for them to work out on their own so they can get their members. I think her org is a good idea but they need to make sure they know what they're about--besides nontraditional students.

I do know. I just hadn't shared it on here. There must have been a whole bunch of fly by night orgs that were not well thought out, and talked big noise, repped on GC just to fade into obscurity or even die. I say that because I feel like I walked up into something that somebody else FUBAR'd before my arrival, and I'm paying the price for what they did. I just don't understand some of these attitudes.

Anyhoo, I'm not going to pretend that I have all my bases covered. But, I wouldn't have gone forward with Theta Gamma Pi if I wasn't committed to doing my best to make it a success.

I figured you knew. Does your org have a website so you won't be asked a lot of questions that can be answered there?

Yep. Your other post was perceived as defensive and some of that MIGHT have to do with our experiences on this board, on other boards, and off the internet with newer organizations.

Good luck to you.
