Wow, that was pretty snarky. You've got a lot of free time to troll the boards and mess with people, huh?

Anyway, you two girls have fun. I've got some volunteer work to do, and then I'm going to go study. I will pursue my dream of joining the sorority that I admire, one way or the other...and it's up to them, not you, to tell me yes or no. Period.

[fyrnymph]

May I suggest you go and read the past posts here in the AI section? It will give you a great deal of information and also some perspective.

I just meant that GC isn't always a friendly place especially when you bring up sensitive subjects-as such.

And, calling yourself a "Future AI" even though you have now changed the title is just like saying- "I'm going to be an ABC!!" When homegirl hasn't even gone through recruitment yet.

But, I can see how my post wouldn't be seen that way. (There have been lots of threads about the rampant snarkiness on GC-maybe you should check them out)

Of course YOU don't...that's why you're pursuing AI.

"Pursuing your dream of joining a sorority" is the exact reason that most of us are against these AI forums to begin with...and no, AlwaysSAI aren't the ones who say "yes or no", but the ones who DO have already said "no".

Which they already did when they dropped you.

As an alumna member I seriously question any woman who went to a college with a large/active Greek system and didn't end up joining then and then wants to AI.

Ditto.

It never occurred to me - until I joined Greek Chat - that women would ever pursue AI. I've helped two women to AI, and in both cases the alumnae chapter approached them. I firmly believe it should be an honour - an invitation extended from the alumnae chapter to a woman they already know meets our high ideals.
Any Pi Phis wish to weigh in on this?

It seems like we rarely AI women. They tend to be people like Barbara Bush and prominent local leaders and descendants of founders.

I agree - AI should be done in limited circumstances, otherwise, in what way will a sorority be distinguished from say, the Junior League? I think AI is proper when either: (a) the woman never had the opportunity to join because of the school she was at, finances, or some other circumstances (NOT including women that only wanted to be in ONE sorority and so didn't maximize their options during recruitment), and/or (b) there is a collegiate chapter that really needs an advisor, this woman is an ideal advisor and willing to commit.

As someone who has gone through law school, I can't imagine being in my last year and wanting to take on an additional non-law related committment. Is AI your dream or is your dream something that you missed out on? Your dream of being a collegiate sorority member is something that has come and passed, so is AI really something that could fulfill your dreams? Does it fit into your future after law school?
