A "Nu" Story

[misscherrypie]

I should have been more clear.

My frustration (misplaced, by the way) is that my organization is NOT a Collegiate Social Sorority and in my selfishness, I wanted to create a Beta Sigma Phi chapter that worked as such. I had no business accusing our international of being unsupportive, when they are in no way equipped to deal with what we were trying to do....because its not that kind of organization.

That is my fault.....and not my organizations issue. I'd delete what I said...but I don't think that's possible. I was cruel and insensitive.

You could delete the thread. That's one option. I think you have the right attitude. I'm really sorry Greek Life hasn't worked out the way you wanted it to on your campus. You are very determined, and you've worked really hard. Keep up with BSP off campus, utilize social media, advertise to other community women's groups/women's church groups/student groups at the community college, etc., and maybe see what's available on your campus where you can make your mark in a student organization there. Please don't let all these recruiting efforts and chartering efforts take away from the big picture: you're there to do well academically and graduate. Good luck!

Was a little surprised that this thread has been going on for so long.

misscherrypie, the bolded says it all, and those are your words (which others have also thought and written). In another thread, it was suggested that you step away from the entire sorority issue for a while (paraphrasing, folks). I think that would be a positive step and would give you some perspective on what this is really about.

ETA: still confused, are you actually initiated? and do you have a chapter charter?
