sheesh, if i judged my sorority's sisterhood based on our turnout to certain events... im sorry, you just sound like a loser to me. a grammatically-incorrect drama queen that can't get her story together for a message board. there's no other way to say it. whoops, let me go make rude comments where somewhere cares.

Ok. Picture this...
you are going to a school with lets say 4,000 students. ABC and XYZ are at Total with 40 girls and EFG is lets say 30.(I am in ABC and we had 40 after rush)

Its meeting time. only about 14 girls show up to a MEETING!!! then your prez e-mails the chapter say "hey..lets all get together tonight to watch Greys, some of SPJ(frat) will be there to" that e-mail was just sent out to for all of us to hang out as a group together..5 of us go, including myself. I being the only girl in my pledge class.

Its greek week, the only time that ABC participated was for the "unknown" keg race.

then again that car wash.

when people dont do things together as a group, which is the reason y we are all in it, makes it seem like they dont care, which is most defiently the impression I got as my new memeber period went on. I would of DP, but I decided to wait it out, I thought "its going to get better, its going to get better" the girls were ALWAYS consistanly with their boyfriends..constantly. The only time i felt sisterhood, was during ritual or when we HAD to be together.
I guess I was just disappointed.

and I left my school yes, because they didnt have my major..

I've just typed that so many times, that I felt I didnt have to anymore

I think half way through the semester

I can't remember if you were going to a bigger school (I think you were) but don't judge the new school's chapter on the old school's. They could be completely different and you could love it at your new school. And it could be that you would have never had a snowball's chance in hell at BEING in that chapter in your new school if you hadn't already initiated. So maybe this all happened for a reason.

Small school systems are not like big ones. There are often people in the groups that aren't very "gung ho" and think things like intramurals and Greek week are a stupid waste of time. You happened to join a really un-gung ho group. That's life. If you stuck around you might be able to change it, but it's a moot point since you're leaving due to your major.

And I have no idea what national group you're in, but I'm guessing due to the size of your old school it's one of the smaller ones. The smaller national groups do not have the staff that the larger ones do and sometimes things take longer.

And yeah...spell check and leave mom out of it.

yeah, I hope I like them. They are known here as the prettiest and kinda slutty group, but I went to the information meeting and they had all the tables set out, and immediatly after they dismissed the meeting and asked the girls to go look around, almost everyone went toward ABC. I mean I just have to wait until the prez says I can meet them and hang out with them as ABC, and your right they might not be the type of girls I'd like to hang out with or they can be the girls who I absolutely loveee. Who knows?
i am not going to say which group it is, but it is one of the smaller organization. They dont have nearly have as many chapters as DZ or phi beta pi (i think thats rights), so It was very hard to find a school that was in a reasonable amount of distance ( I am actually 12 hrs away from home now, but thats as far as I will go)and that had my major, which is to say the least not that common.

It kinda sucks, I felt like (i dont wanna say screwed) but for lack of a better word, screwed. just because at my old school they made such a big deal about having so much fun, getting the best grades, etc. and yeah, I did feel comfortable around them, so I felt like I made the right choice, but still the fact that you say they are gung ho, is SO true!

I thought people in your old house never showed up to anything and you were fed up with them?

You are so confusing.

no, they made a big deal about having fun during rush. I wasnt fed up with them, I was dissappointed.

Not if you pronounce it properly.

And why won't you answer AlphaFrog's question -- why did you start this thread when, according to you, the paper-work was received at your new campus before you started this thread? I don't know whether you're on the up-and-up or not, but you really do seem to have a hard time keeping your story straight. I'm just sayin' . . . .

Better watch out, MysticCat, or she'll sick her mama on you.

And giggle, we're still waiting for you to answer AlphaFrog's question.

I got through the first 4 pages and couldn't read anymore, so I have to ask...


Did anyone point out to her that frustrated has 2 Rs? I couldn't believe that it didn't happen on the first page. (Though Senusret's response was amusing. )


ETA: Phew - I see the posts quoted on this page that someone finally pointed it out. I was starting to think that maybe the extra "r" was there and my eyes were just playing tricks on me.

OMG ---deactivate now, please!!!! Save another chapter of your GLO from having to experience your own personal brand of sisterhood. If you can really call this second chapter <<the prettiest and kinda slutty group>> then you really don't belong with them and they certainly would be better off without you. Sisterhood is based on ideals that don't encompass members like you who seem to take, and take. Ask yourself this: what can you give back, and what will you give back????

It's like President John F. Kennedy's famous quote: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." A GLO can be compared to one's country, and both require a great degree of loyalty from its constituents. And---look!!! I never even ran spellcheck (I rarely use it, I don't have to). But---maybe if you stayed, one of your new chapter sisters could teach you how to actually write.

Just what will you contribute to your GLO, both the national as a whole and the new chapter that you seem so intent on joining?

I find it seriously offensive that you would compare undertaking the duty to serve one's country with undertaking elective membership in a social organization...

Sorority membership is nowhere on par with serving your country, and I'm getting a little tired of people treating their sorority like it is a sacred religion.

I am also not into this new trend of Greek Chatters finding new reasons to jump all newbies for their spelling or mis-speaking a comment here or there. Sometimes it is warranted. Most of the time... not so much. I'm all for having a laugh as much as anyone else... but seriously? President Kennedy wasn't talking about sororities.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Or maybe I'm the one with the misplaced priorities...

No, maybe you are right. I wrote this post in reaction to her calling the second chapter "the prettiest and kinda slutty group" -her terminology upset me. Usually I read all of the comments before posting. If I had, I would not have written my last post. She asked for help & sympathy, and she deserved it. However, like other posters, I found myself quesioning so much of what she said. GLO's are not like countries, and GC cannot be compared to politics. Forgive my last post, it was written in anger & way out of line.

[adpiucf]

Thanks. And forgive me, too, for jumping on you, as well.

Methinks the OP was simply trying to convey that you should care less about what benefits one could gain from something and focus more on what you can do for the benefit of the group.

I think you're being overly sensitive on this post/in this thread.

Is it necessary to psycho-stalk people on Google?
