Visiting Chapters Thread

[Senusret I]

SEC, does your chapter have a website?

I know of an Alpha Chapter of an NPHC organization that had to deal with surprise visiting members so much that they wrote a policy and placed it on the website. I can't recall the exact wording but it was something like "We welcome you to visit with us, but we regret that we cannot house visitors with less than two weeks' notice." and/or "Please contact us prior to your visit so that we will know members are in the area."

Now THAT is unbelievable.

You're right. I reacted irrationally because I was in a pissy mood. I offer you my sincere apologies.

From reading the rest of this thread, it's clear that attitudes are different within the NPC and the NIC. I don't think anyone expects the bonds to be the same for strangers who happen to be in the same GLO than those for the members of anyone's particular chapter but the outright disdain that others have expressed is puzzling.

Here's some food for thought:

I have met sisters through greekchat and livejournal that are, right now, the reason I do not drop my letters and disaffiliate. They are exactly what I was looking for when I decided to join my sorority. Support, friendship, love through thick and thin.

I have never met these women in real life and I know that when my chapter, the women who extended me a bid, rejected me through no fault of my own, the closeness you guys talk about comes to me 2000 miles away. When I need someone to talk to, I call a sister in California.

Here's the thing-even if I was close with my chapter, I'd treat any sister I met with more than just courtesy and respect. So...is this just a male/female difference? Any other women feel the same way as me? Should we ask Alexandra Robbins? I bet she managed to get undercover in a fraternity house no problem :P

SEC-I had to go to a funeral recently. My great-uncle. Diagnosis of Alzheimer's last fall and he died of pneumonia in February. I'm really sorry for my callousness. There's been too much death recently.
