I'm sad.

Baby, I got your money don't you worry.

I would've sponsored ODB for alumna initiation if he were a woman. And alive, of course. I could see how he might not do well in formal recruitment, but really, any sorority should be honored to have the chance to snap him up!

This is like from two years ago lol.

I was having a blonde day yesterday and read all the way through this thread (somehow I missed it the first time around) before I realized it was two years old! Duhhh. I was looking for an update and all kinds of stuff and then saw the dates. Chalk one up for the blonde day!

i know it wasnt exactly timely to bump this thread... except perhaps in terms of references to the beloved and dearly departed ODB, but...


i hadnt read this thread and when i did a few days ago i realized that i KNOW this girl, really well actually. she eventually joined APO and loves it....

so it wasn't about sharing the gory details of her particular story. i was just pretty shocked at how many people told her to COB, AI, etc... when in reality at USC that is a recipe for futility. i just wanted to gently admonish the well-wishing smoke blowers who protracted her suffering.... yes, maybe it did give me that special feeling (!)

sorry if it was more than a little belated.

Pay no attention to those giving you crap for bumping a two year old thread. People do it all the time.

Thank you for giving us an update about your friend. We're glad she found a home in APO!

I think bumping this thread is a great reminder of being mindful and knowing when to back off, especially at a campus like USC. amycat, who's been through USC sorority life both as a collegian and an alumna, knows all too well about successful and disastrous USC rushes.

So don't apologize because you didn't do anything wrong. In fact, I think you've done us all a favor.

Well, in light of the tone of your previous posts, your motives just didn't seem all that altruistic.

and if you think THIS was a blowing sunshine thread, this is NOTHING.

She went through rush once, it didn't work out, and we - including women who are USC alums and still know what is going on with the system - told her to stay open to COB. It wasn't like this was her third or fourth time going through. And I don't think anyone on this thread called the Greek Life office to see what happened (yes, this has happened on GC before).

I am very glad that Enna is now one of my APO brothers.

I am glad she found her home in APO. Yay for happy Brothers!

I read about half of this thread without noticing it was 2 years old...but it read like a book! I enjoyed reading about her experience since I'm going to do informal rush this spring at my school...
