I can understand the idea that the older pledges may not want to have someone younger in charge or something like that but not being part of Greek life Ive always wondered this. Thanks ladies!

Also, what does it mean to associate with a chapter? I have read it on multiple posts here.
That involves membership selection and is none of your business. These things are completely out of your control as an older transfer student.

Sure, I might be an older transfer student but Im not 100 percent gung-ho on Greek life for myself and as of right now I'm leaning towards a student service organization for myself instead. Excuse me for asking a question. People come here to get information, not unncessary commentary. I am completely aware of the control factor from previous threads, thank you for the reminder.

Thanks ladies for the responses. It makes sense now.

For someone "not so gung ho on Greek life" you sure spend a lot of time here and ask too many questions that require more details than a normal pnm. I don't believe for a minute you're a possible pnm. ARITY?

WTF?

I'm not NPC, but this question has been answered multiple times on GC (including in this thread). Didn't seem out of line at all.

1. The overly inquisitive way and history of the person who asked
2. I know the reasons stated are not the only ones from just my personal experience. No one can speak for every NPC organization and every chapter of every organization's membership selection process.

I don't think you have much of a shot, unless you have some very close friends in the sororities.

Overly inquisitive and my "history"? Someone please remind me the purpose of this website again..
PS for my history record, I have never attended TCU, I applied to multiple schools and I will be attending Texas Tech in the fall.

Cant wait!! Since I'm not going through recruitment, you dont have to do any sabotaging of anyones (my) recruitment, although I am sure you would enjoy it. Thanks for the advice though, you made me realize Greek life is not for me.
