Some say it's an old practice and alumnae prospectives only write such a letter if they have had no other contact with or any other expression of interest with the chapter. Others say write a letter to formally clarify my interest and provide the contact info for mailing the rush invitation. What are your thoughts on the importance of an interest letter? Thanks in advance.

Besides the national website and that chapter's website, you claim to know members in real life and do not need to ask Greekchat. Good luck to you.

Basically on GreekChat, member intake isn't discussed for BGLOs. Dr. Phil gave you good advice and you should listen. I'm not sure more advice from people you don't even know will clarify the advice you have already been given. Consider the sources and make a decision. Period. Good luck.

When you talk to my Sorors in real life, do not do what you attempted to do in the Delta forum on Greekchat. Aspirants who attempt know-it-all and longwinded tend to be eternal aspirants. Instead display an ability to figure it out when members of a chapter answer your questions. It is usually collegiate aspirants who need to be told this and not alumnae aspirants.

Wow all of this from asking if you all suggested that I submit or not submit a letter of interest based on your experience.

Thanks AOII Angel for clarifying what the issue may be. I'm not sure how we got to this point, but OK. Delta forum? I'm lost.

Good day
