I am not a member of a greek-org, but I will say that this part of her message caught me the most:

"I attended all the meetings and informational gatherings. I was given inaccurate information regarding the submission of necessary materials. This misinformation led to my not getting a nomination and becoming a legacy in my sorority of choice."

I will go out on a limb and say that I am sure the ladies of this sorority DID NOT single her out to give the wrong information. As far as I have read/been told, and ladies of the sorority can comment on this, all information about submitting documents, etc is given at the rush. How is that THIS one person heard the wrong information, but other people were able to get their things in??

Given that she did not submit her paperwork on time/correctly, what makes her think that the sorority would make an exception for HER?!?!? They have rules in place for a reason or else they would have to make the same exception for every woman that comes through "and receives the incorrect information." Regardless, of what your mom, sister, cousin, aunt did, you have to stand on your own two feet amongst everyone else.


This can also be taken on a professional level. If you are applying for a scholarship or looking for a job or what have you, you must submit your paperwork on time just like everyone else. As harsh as this may sound, many people could care less about excuses.

This is Entitlement 101.

I didn't do X on time, but I deserve an exception because *insert lame excuse here*
