Chances for colonization

[Jane2016]

Sorry to make everyone upset. I meant no disrespect to the colonizing sorority. I am sure that all the sororities are wonderful, and she has to decide if she wants to pursue her options. I just tried the link again and when I click on signups, it says that signups are closed. The link to learn more works. I just don't know why the sign up link says signups are closed when I click on it and others can get thru. I will suggest to her that she tries the Greek life office.

Hi! I'm a colonizing member of Tri Sigma at Auburn this year. Colonizing is an incredible and unique experience and I would highly encourage your daughter to pursue it. As far as sign ups being closed, it could be that they have not yet opened rather than being closed. (There was some confusion about that here) If they are truly already closed, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the end for her. Many colonies participate in COB so encourage her to go to any events that they may have. Even if the sorority is not for her, she will have the opportunity to meet new friends.

Right this minute, it says "you must first log in before you can sign up." And under LOGIN, in faint letters, it says "Don't Have a Login? Sign up here."

As a member of Aggie sorority life, I can guarantee you that the deadline to register for colonization has not passed. As a matter of fact, a cursory glance at the A&M Panhellenic social media accounts will show you that there are COB opportunities possible going on right now. And going on the social media sites will tell you how your daughter can get in contact with that chapter.

I hate to be that person, but are you SURE that your daughter was completely dropped? And didn't drop out of recruitment herself? Because she is passing some blatantly incorrect information to you about the AOPi colonization. To me, it seems like she thought that being a blonde, slender valedictorian should have netted her a "better" house and is giving you excuses as to why she isn't looking at the house COBing or signing up for colonization info. Forgive me if I am incorrect in my assessment.

Could you please link me to where it says that signups are closed? Because on AOPi's official website for TAMU

http://www.teamaoii.com/tamu/index

it lists several dates (2 per week every week of September) with times and locations where one can attend Information Sessions. Information Sessions do not require signups, you just show up to them.

After Info Sessions, from what I understand, usually come interviews and get-to-know-you sessions, each subsequent one invite-only. And then after that is the colony's form of a bid day. As Info Sessions are still going on, your daughter has a chance to still join.

There is also an email that you can send for more info. If this is something important to your daughter, please have her use all the resources at her disposal to collect more info.

She needs to contact the Greek Adviser and try from that direction. in fact, I'd go by the Greek Life Office in person.
