Well, you have at least a handful of fellow PNMs who are posting in this forum

Not to mention the great actives & alumnae who are posting as well!

That is true! And I'm so thankful that I found a wonderful place like Greek Chat months ago to help me!

Thank you everyone!

Ha ha, that's kinda ironic you say that because I've been sleeping so terribly lately.

I recently got a part time job and the training sessions have been mid-morning the past few days week and I kept waking up around 4:00 or 5:00am each day and just not being able to go back to sleep.. Kinda sucks. ]:

I would just avoid the topic of greek life and recruitment all together with this guy. It sounds like he has some things he needs to work through. If he brings it up, you can always diplomatically say something like "We have different opinions on this, and I want to check things out for myself, so let's just drop it" and talk about something else.

It's good that your boyfriend is very supportive. Mine wasn't and it was terribly difficult at the time because when I needed comfort, he reitterated all the reasons why I shouldn't go through recruitment. We broke up shortly after my new member period started.

I think you are right, Maggie.. I mean, before I was glad to have a friend who was in the Greek system who could answer all these questions I have. Then I found GC, and realized that he was very anti-greek..

]: That is terrible.. I assume that you rose to the occasion so to speak and pushed past it and are now a member of a wonderful organization?
