Thanks to all who have been helpful.

FWIW, from reading her other posts, her college does not have Greek life, so it's not like she rushed and got rejected from a sorority that she "dreamed of being in", picked the "Wrong one" etc etc.

LilacLove, if you do decide to approach a sorority for AI, they will want to know what you want out of membership other than participating in their national philanthropy. For example, membership in ADPi is not required to volunteer with and donate to the Ronald McDonald House.

LilacLove: If you want to help a philanthropy, contact the philanthropy/charity/institution, not the sorority. It is not the job of a sorority to coordinate the volunteer activities of nonmembers.

Before she edited, she had said that the only way to be involved with the philanthropy that she wanted to participate in was through the sorority. Unless she wants to be involved with XYZ Foundation, I don't see anything on the list that would REQUIRE you go through the sorority to participate in.

(c) got her heart set on a specific group that wouldn't pledge seniors like her last fall

What was it that kept her from joining greek life as a freshman (assuming (a) doesn't apply)?

Or maybe she just decided she would be a perfect XYZ last week?

RIF, girl.

Gah! And yeah, I hadn't read through all of her posts from other threads (namely, her post #1) that reveals exactly my question. Thanks.

Post #1, for those who missed it.

That's it. I really need to stick to ChitChat.

I am sick of people asking for advice three different places and then not taking the advice! If what you really want is affirmation for your plan, then just say so. Don't phrase it in the form of a question; This isn't Jeopardy!

LOL LOL

In her first post, she proclaimed that she had read the AI forum over. Why was she then surprised that people tried to steer her away from AI?? And, I know she said that she "remembered why she left GC in the first place", but there was not one snarky remark in her first thread, despite the face that she announced she had read the forum and proceeded to tell us about persuing AI anyway.

$10 says she got a PM for HPRL then and now.
