If you want to serve your community, join the Kiwanis or the Lionesses or the Red Cross or something. Not EVERYTHING has to involve a GLO.

Well I tried red cross and they never got back to me. at my school everything is very seperated by culture, like the African Student Union, the Asian Student Council etc. and other than that there isn't much else. Maybe I am a bit desperate to join, but like i said I will make this year about school.

Good. That's the best possible idea.

NPC formal recruitment ended at VCU on Sept. 16. Alpha Omicron Pi is hosting recolonization information sessions this week. This would be an opportunity to get to know at least one NPC group and to find out about commitments. Good luck with school.

It's so exciting to be in college and to have so many options laid out before you for your choosing (I remember!!), but I am glad to hear that you are going to chill this year and focus on school. I know sooooo many people that jumped into organizations as freshmen, got super-involved, and --soon-- school work was interfering with their extra-curricular obligations ...... and they flunked out. It won't mean a thing to have your letters and be back home. Without your degree. Sad and pitiful.

Good luck in your endeavors ...... and pace yourself. It's a marathon, not a sprint

I agree with everyone. Focus on school right now and just take time to observe the different organizations. Attend different functions hosted by them and get a real feel for what people are doing on your campus...and ofcourse make some friends while you're at it. If you still have all of those interests, you might want to start with a GLO first and especially if you are going for an NPHC org, you will find that the social and service go together quite nicely and the one org has all that you need. See how well you can handle being in the GLO first since we are quite busy all the time. Also you should want to give your all to your organization or organizations, not just a little bit of yourself to each. Think about that.
