4. If your president is not being responsive contact the chapter advisor. If they are not responsive, try the regional director.
5. The "Greek LIfe people" are not the advisors. They are merely the people who work at the desk in the Greek Life office. The chapter advisors are the alumnae volunteers that advise your individual chapter.

Well said.

OP, if you are showing the attitude to the group that you are showing here, it's really no wonder than people aren't willing to help you. Let's be honest, would your group on your new campus have the impression that you are eager to be an asset to their chapter and assist them, or that you are kind of a high maintenance, demanding person who sees herself as entitled to service from the group and who relies on her mom to handle her issues.

And yes, if your are going through the national HQ, the new chapter may be aware of how you are acting.

Further, depending on the chapter and the group, your transfer into the new chapter may not be automatic, and you could really be shooting yourself in the foot.

And I happen to think that if you had your membership in your group on facebook, that yes, people at the new school are going to remember and look into the situation further. I doubt it's as simple as re-rushing. You know you've been initiated; your old chapter knows you've been initiated. There's no way you could be a good member of a NPC group if you would disregard such a basic element of membership.

Quit acting like the group revolves around you. It's a shame they didn't send in the paper work faster and provide you with better "customer" service, seeing as that seems to be how you see your role in the group.

ok, i dont want the group revolve around me. HQ wasnt happy at my prez either...it wasnt just my mom and I. As i've posted before, NO I WILL NOT RE-RUSH because now papers are at this new school. and i now know whats going to happen next. Its my right to stay on top of it, it was her job to do it, and SHE NEVER DID IT...i was patient waiting for her to do it, I would e-mail her asking if she had filled it out. I never got a response from her, but then the next day i would get an e-mail from her saying "Hi ladies, schools starting, greek life is letting us help freshman move in, etc, etc" but i never got an answer from her whether or not she filled it out. so i assumed she was ignoring it, because she wasnt even giving me an answer as to whether she filled it out or not. so i called HQ and they did it before me like i said before.

you would be on top of something like this too if u were in my position...

Um, no. While I would be interested in expediting the process, I would understand that formal recruitment season and the start of school wasn't really the time to be getting my mommy to call my IHQ.

And had you not mentioned your interest in re-rushing, I'd be a lot more sympathetic, but really your posts make clear what your priorities are: you, you, and more you. And a GLO might not find that so charming in an affiliate member.

Remember that although you feel a great sense of urgency about affiliating, it's really not going to kill you to wait until it get straightened out.
