Denied...Denied...Accepted?

[Spinderella]

Aspiringchica08, NPHC organizations expect applicants to keep applying as many times as necessary. The more you apply, the more it looks like 'its in your heart'.

The rejection takes over as basically a mind game that applicants are somehow, missing something from their lives if they don't keep trying harder to be a member. The rejection also is supposed to make applicants hold dear, the principles of lifetime commitment, since it took alot of 'work and rejection' to become a member.

Amazing how grad chapters may boast having 500 members/200 financial members, yet the lifetime commitment of service is only carried out by 50 members. What happened to the other 450???

Umm. And what did this have to do with her question?

Spinderella has a point--and she would know. Personally I don't know anyone who hadn't been denied at least twice before being accepted into their org of choice. It took me four tries. And although she probably won't admit it, Dr. Phil shared with me that it took her three times.

Only 3-4 times? It mustve been in your heart, deep in your heart.

Since you can't possibly have been exposed to thousands of members in hundreds of chapters across the U.S. and beyond, your personal experience (on the outside looking in of course) means nothing. Perhaps the members that you know personally would be the best persons to answer your questions. Right now you just sound like a typical hater and the worst kind; the kind that thinks they know (swears they know) when they don't. You should explore why that is. Rejection maybe?
