After being initiated, transfering and joining another soro

Care to cite your source?

I don't believe you, especially since there are MANY Tri Sigma sisters here on GreekChat who come from campuses that are not "small teacher schools".

Yeah, I'd have to say that Penn State, UNC-Chapel Hill, and the University of Virginia don't seem like small teacher schools to me.

P.S. I hear the Kent State University chapter rocks.

Indeed it does! It's also a good school and a decent location. The Tri Sigma website is your friend when it comes to finding where chapters are located. Last time I checked Seton Hall, Pitt, and VCU weren't small teacher schools either. They might not all be in bigger cities (check out Montclair State, 40 minutes from NYC or even U of Alaska-Anchorage for that). Want serious school spirit? Consider Marshall. Might be in the middle of nowhere but probably the most rabid fans of all the schools with Tri Sigma chapters.

Lilxcutie88, in all seriousness, if you want "school spirt has to be high, little commuters that way the campus doesnt feel empty on the weekends, around a surburan area/city, the size has to be bigger than 10,000 people, good academics." then you might have to make tradeoffs on whether or not there's a Tri Sigma chapter. Your education is the most important thing. Make that decision first, then find a way to keep Tri Sigma in your life after that. Good luck.

I just don't get why this is so effing hard to explain. You join a sorority for life, not however long you stay at one university. Once you've joined one NPC, you can't join another. Think it's not fair? Tough shit. Life's not fair. It's not fair that Sigma got stuck with such a waste of space and sisterhood. You're in school to get an education, not to be in a sorority.

i cant go all around the united states. i'm begging my mom to even let me apply to NIU. there are a bunch of large schools in louisanna(sp?) and some in missouri, and illinois. so mainly out west. I cant go to any school in north Carolina( i didnt take 4 yrs of HS math) which sucks, b/c they are such great schools. a lot of schools in VA which is where i live, dont have my program there...

and yes, any school that i look at i am going be very pickey about the education. that is why its so hard. like...I want to be a Communications major with a concentration in Media Studies(films, TV, etc etc) so far i've found a couple of schools. If i could go to penn state, dude i'd go there in a heart beat, but i dont have the grades for the school.
but the reason I am leaving is not b/c of the sorority if thats what you all are thinking..damn those girls are what made me survive my last semester at my school.

My school was just extremely unmotivating.it would basically accept all the druggies and people in HS who didnt give a shit. you would NOT believe how many people dropped out..its awful. I on the other-hand am not one of those people. I chose the school, b/c A) i didnt know that those kind of ppl were there an B) it was the largest school i was accepted to, so i wanted to take a challenge(it ending as not being one) my school consisted of 4,000 students and only 1,000 living on campus. So i basically knew everyone. saw the same people at parties, places on campus (or lack there of) were always empty. It just felt like HS to me b/c i come from such a large HS. plus everyone also went home on the weekends(including sorority sisters, so we never did nething on the weenkends) , it was just boring and depressing. and im not only one who thinks that about my school either.* im not going to say my school either**

I just feel like if i dont go to a school with my sorority that i'll be stuck. you know? not knowning anyone. everyone will be set in their ways that it seems like no one will want to make a new friend. but if i go into a school with my sorority and its a 50/50 that they'l accept me, then i at least have a base of people. I dont hae to get along with every single sister..ur not supposed to get along with everyone but see what I am saying. and i guess because my school didnt have any organizations i dont really know whats out there.

i hope everyone understands, and not attack me anymore.

You feel you are limited with your school selection because you want to major in Communication? What exactly is it that you want to do for a career? As far as media/Comm careers, you could major in Chemistry or Basket Weaving for all they care-- you just have to have some internship experience under your belt to get that first job. Trust me-- I speak from experience here!!! Think about what you want to do POST-college and what you need to get there.

I understand your concerns about wanting to be able to transfer to a school and potentially transfer into another chapter of your sorority (which is not a guarantee). But keep in mind that chapters vary so much from school to school, and that there are so many opportunities to make friends through the many campus organizations offered by any college. Good luck.

This isn't high school, it's college. Unless you get an apartment 5 miles off campus, go to class and go immediately home and don't talk to anyone, it's hard to NOT get to know people. You were outgoing enough to go through rush and join a sorority, just do it again except people won't be singing songs, ha ha. It isn't high school where people are going by what you were like in 9th grade and if you were a geek then you'll be a geek 4 years later, no matter how much you've changed. Most colleges aren't like that.

You made a bad choice with your college, and you probably should have left before you made a lifetime commitment to a sorority. But you didn't, and now it's done, so you have to deal w/ the consequences. That's called being a responsible adult.

could you get into a Penn State branch & then transfer to Main?

Regarding your above post, you didn't say any of those things at first and it honestly did make it look like academics was the last thing on your mind. You can't just give little pieces of info and expect us all to read your mind. All anyone has to go on is what you put on the page.

I'm tripping that this chick wants to go into COMMUNICATIONS...

Little girl, this is a messageboard for those who are in, alumni of, or are bound for college. Please make your posts reflect that level of education. You sound like a 12 year old in an AOL chatroom.

yeah i thought about depledging a lot..but everyone told me not too so i just stuck it out, b/c i just figured that i'd transfer to a different school with the same sorority. i was just initiated last semester and i didnt think everyone made such a big deal about everything. so i thought it would be ok.

i chose an awful school your right, but i didnt exactly have much choice in where i could go. I have a learning disability therefore many of my test scores were VERYY low.

we'll see

Am I just reading this wrong? You seem to think that Missouri and Illinois are "out west"....

If so, you need to SERIOUSLY brush up on your geography.

what school are you at?
