Omega Psi Chi Sorority: Start a local sorority on your campus

To put this into perspective, many of our GLOs were not founded as locals and were not founded to address the needs of a specific school. We were founded to address the needs of a population that exists at different schools, different cities, and different states (and, for some GLOs, different countries). This makes expansion more apparent because the mission and purpose(s) of the GLOs were never focused on one school.



I doubt the bolded is the case.

I understand your posts very well and there was nothing Earth shattering about your errors. But it would not hurt to proofread and edit when your message is an introduction to your GLO. The same goes for GLO websites and GLO email communication. The occasional error is not the same as constant errors.

I didn't lashed out on her. I was letting her know why I said what I said on the site. I thought this form was for local orgs. or people who want to start one. Anyway i'm proud of what I have accomplish and my members.

Why is Pythia banned?

Siedah, I understand what you're saying and totally agree. You know your market and that's great. The problem with expanding is that then you may have to water down your message/focus and then you end up just like every other sorority.

Check out the locals forum on here - there are some posts about wanting to get together in a sort of co-op but still retaining local governance. I think that might be kind of more what you want to do.

Oh and as far as local bashing, yeah maybe she is a little, but it's nothing compared to the local bashing I've seen on here, on school websites, and the internet in general. Yeah there are locals that are nothing but hazing and drinking clubs. There are also chapters of national groups that are nothing but hazing and drinking clubs.

Well, I have faith in the women who are starting the next chapter. Really when you're the founder of anything that's all you can do is teach them the values in which you believe in and founded the org. on and hope they will carry it on. But, I can't let that fear hold us back from growing. I understand your point of view too.

Does anyone know if this gif is from a film or t.v. show? I have a friend who goofs on her own "over the top" politeness and naïveté all the time and this reminded me of her (in a comic way of course).

It's from the video Sh!t Sorority Girls Say:

We'll now return to our regularly scheduled confusion.

You did not "let her know," though. I am curious about the answer to ree-Xi's (genuine and not snarky) question. Not because your local GLO isn't awesome and you have something to prove to us. Only because you came to Greekchat to present your local GLO and some of us are respectfully curious.

You type like you speak with a beautiful accent and are perhaps English as a second language. If that's true, that is wonderful and you remind me of some of my colleagues. If that's not true, pardon me.
