Joining Another Organization

DSpi, what do you guys sell in your store?

My school was the home of Mu Chapter, which I recently learned was dechartered.

I think that you are questioning you own intentions.

I can only speak from my own experience regarding being in more than one organization with Greek letters.

I pledged Alpha Xi Delta, an NPC sorority, at my first college for the entire semester, but had to leave school due to health reasons, the week before final exams. I ended up not initiating. I had to leave my school after my sophmore year financial reasons. Two years later, when I matriculated at one of my state schools, I pledged and initiated at Gamma Sigma Sigma, a national service sorority. GSS is a service organization - it exists for different reasons, and although we pledged and wore letters, our existence was very different than that of NPC sororities. We didn't have formal rush, mixers or formal dances. I have been an active alumna of GSS. Two months ago, many years later, I was bestowed the honor to initiate into Alpha Xi Delta as an alumnae member. Becoming a sister of AXiD does not and will not change what GSS is to me.

I plan to be an active alumnae member of both Gamma Sig and AXiD. (Although this past year I have been very ill and have not been able to do a lot of extra stuff). What is amazing, is that I recently found out that a few founding mothers of Gamma Sig were actually also members of social sororities!
So to sum up my long post - people can belong to different groups, and it is commonly accepted. However, you have to make clear the reasons why you exist in each one. Blurring the lines in either organization may be what is confusing people. The thing is, if you are "repping" your Business GLO in the same sense that one would a social GLO, people may wonder where your allegiance lies. If you make them both equal in your eyes, then how are others supposed to see you?

Yes that was the Georgetown University Chapter. We mainly sell food like pizza,coffee, hot dogs and snacks in general but we also sell tickets to various sporting events basketball and football games to help out the sports teams, we sell cd's for the different choirs. I came up with an idea to sell bracelets which all proceeds go to the American Cancer Association, so they will implement that next year.
