I don't know if they show the dates, but I just learned YESTERDAY that I couldn't get into another NPC sorority. The KKG posts were from much earlier in the year.

For most of us who are members, that just seems really unlikely. There are a certain number of people who come here and ask about loopholes, etc, but most people are instructed during new member education and again when they resign membership that they are ineligible for memberships in other NPC groups.

And to tell you the truth, it's sometimes even mentioned during recruitment or in recruitment materials, when people have questions about re-rushing.

So, "gosh, I didn't know" doesn't quite do away with the seeming sketchiness of your posts.

You may be a perfectly lovely person in real life, but they way things have gone here doesn't fully reflect that.

Just to understand your situation, you posted today,

That seems highly unfair. What if the chapter didn't do anything while other sororities did? What if they harrassed or completely gave a girl the silent treatment to force her out? What about that? There should be a way to petition it.

I figure it would help someone understand my situation better so maybe they could help me. I was exteremly commited to my chapter until they let ME down.

And I wanted to get into another NPC sorority that would do something. However, now that I'm being told it's not possible, I just get into hopeful one or two service sororities.

You said that you posted in the Kappa thread earlier in the year, which was two months ago in May. The date was May 8 of this year--

Would it be possible to find an alumna through the Headquarters, get to know her for about a year, and then maybe get a recommendation?

I'm thoroughly confused because you said that you had posted much earlier in the year but the date only goes back to May. Was there a mistake in posting dates? Perhaps a computer glitch?

As a matter of fact, I did just learn that I couldn't get into another one. There was a pre-rush event and even right before. I was told that I would have to wait a full calender year before I could rush again. That's what I was told. And the chapter definitely didn't say anything about it. That's why I was looking it up and asking if it was possible.

I'm surprised that some of you are jumping to such conclusions about me when you know almost nothing about the situation or me. Way to be REAL mature. Well, thanks for being real helpful. Not.

Did you tell these people that you had actually initiated?

Can someone post me an iron?

The people who told you that at the meeting must not have realized that you had been initiated.

But now you know, so our work here is done.

Good luck with your future endeavors.

If you'd like to post your old chapter, I'm sure we could make sure they got better instruction about what to tell new members and women who are resigning from the group.

I was actually talking about before I even got into a sorority. They never told us from the beginning.

Did you join in Fall 2007 or Spring 2008?

If she's on a quarter system, Winter 08 would have been from January to March/April of this year.

thanks for the info...

so let's pretend she is on the quarter system and joined between January & March/April of 2008... if she is already looking into Kappa after a couple of months, I'm still not feeling sympathy that she can't join another NPC.

The new member period I think varies between 4-8 wks depending on the NPC, so if they had rush the second week of January, then was a new member around 2 months after that, it means her NM period ended around the first week of March and was an "active" member for about 8 weeks before inquiring about the other org.

If her chapter ran the way mine did, then she wasn't even an 'active' mber for that long. Our NM program is 6 weeks and ran up until almost Spring Break (which was the last week of March). So she had the weeks of April and what a week in May?

I totally agree with you, I have NO sympathy for her. Especially after considering the short amount of time she was a 'member.'

greekgirl88 · #14 07-23-2008, 10:06 PM

Well, lucky for me, my active membership didn't run like that. It was actually in February that I became an active member but whatever. I didn't come here looking for your sympathy, I just came here to ask a question. Thanks to those who provided me with helpful answers to my questions.

Did you already resign? Is it too late to work harder to improve your experience with the group that you joined?
