I think I made a mistake.

I remember this! I feel like something like that would be totally impossible now due to the Internet and social media.

When I joined my NPC sorority, there were plenty of people who told me that it was fine and that I could join a "real" (read: AKA or Delta) sorority when I was ready. LOL. I knew even then that wasn't going to happen. Even now some family members don't take my membership seriously.

I remember this thread. I did a little GC sleuthing to try to figure out the OP's school.

Did you figure it out? I feel like I was so close, but had the wrong woman in the end. I need Huck and Olivia to help me. lol

Hey GreekRegret, I understand your situation as I went through a similar one myself but with a non-panhellenic group. My mother has always wanted me to join a NPHC sorority but for superficial reasons. I at first thought it would be better in the sorority I chose to pledge because she didn't "control" me in college. I joined then realized I didn't fit in as well as I thought I did during my pledge period. I stayed anyway because I assumed I just wasn't giving things a chance. I don't hate being an alumna of the sorority but I do wish I had truly reconsidered my membership when I had the chance. Things have worked out for me to not join a NPHC or NPC sorority but along the way, I've learned a lot about myself and from GC, about sorority membership in general.

I ended up transferring to a new school due to other reasons and am now more focused on bettering myself as a student and woman. I'm joining groups on my new campus and even considering starting a group (once I get stable enough to do so.) I've learned to not regret my choices as they were what I wanted at the time; lessons learned. I hope you are able to find groups on campus that help you realize there are more opportunities to bettering your college experiences than you know! Please reconsider all of the positives in your current situation and look to using them to bettering yourself.

Oh, I remember that one. The gist of the OP's original post had to do with how wonderful the GA was, how everyone loved the GA, and how the GA outed herself as having dual membership. And what could the OP do about this? Angst. Angst. Angst.

note to self: QFP. Always. Can delete a QFP if circumstances so dictate, but can't make a post reappear after it's been deleted by the OP.

I just re-read that thread and it's hilarious how it devolved into a discussion of bad sodas...

[DrPhil]

GC didn't QFP?! Was GC too shocked to remember our duties?!

When people come to a public board to divulge such info, even if anonymously, that person has probably divulged to someone else as well. She was unashamed. These are warning signs to the GLOs that don't permit dual memberships.

Almost commented, it's takne me a few days to process this. But don't want to go on a rant, so I'm just going to sit in a corner over here and observe.

[Sen's Revenge]

oooooh. ok!

Sigmadiva is evil. LOL.

I feel as though we've all seriously dropped the ball lately when it comes to QFPing. When I first joined GC, I remember people immediately QFPing, even if they had nothing to say about the thread, every single time there was even a slight chance it could turn into a train wreck.

Let's remember to QFP, people! K thanks

Just realized we came to the board right around the same time. I clearly remember all the QFPs. I don't think those members who were really good at it don't post as often anymore.
