strong houses at SDSU & Long Beach

[aphibeach]

instead of people PMing her which sororities you think she should join, why don't yall just tell her to check out recruitment and see for herself

by telling her different things about each chapter, you're giving this girl pre-judgement on some great chapters (that you might not know much about)

Hi. This is just a friendly reminder that discussing recruitment type stuff with potential members is a violation of recruitment rules... at least in the state of Michigan and I'm assuming Panhellenically elsewhere.

thank you. it's like that in NC too

wannagogreek, I'd be wary about trusting the opinions of others and using that information to make your decision on what sorority you would like to join. While I understand that no one wants to join a house littered with external and internal problems, or is struggling with numbers, you never know what the real story is like until you get there.

When I was a PNM, I asked a fraternity guy if he could tell me what the difference was between the two sororities on our campus. He said some very cruel things about both groups. The two groups on our campus are amazing organizations, and he definitely did not give me any help whatsoever.

It's not a difference between each sorority that you can see. It's a difference you have to FEEL, and you have to give each group a fair chance in order to be fair to yourself.

Yeah I totally agree. I asked a fraternity guy's opinion too and then went into rush thinking that was the one for me, but turns out they werent and while they are a wonderful organization you can FEEL the difference.
Wannagogreek- have you checked out the greek life page on the campuses website? They usually have a lot of information about the sororities different philanthropies and activities they hold each year. You can also learn a lot about their history, symbols, mascots, etc.....I would check that out.
Good Luck!

It's not a violation of rules for a TKE to give his impressions on different houses.

I'm sure she's a big girl and can make decisions for herself.

It's not against the rules for him, but it is against the rules for sorority women to contact PNMs outside of Recruitment parties before Recruitment starts. Someone mentioned PMs and even that could be considered a violation of the rules.

The reason a few of us said to not ask the guys is because we've had bad experiences asking guys their opinion, or we know that no one truthfully has an unbiased opinion.

Not only that but if the fraternity MEN were true gentlemen, they would respect our rules.

As a Long Beach State alumna, and a Gamma Phi Beta, I can tell you that the CSULB Greek Life website is not that helpful. It's a nice looking website, but the information for NPC recruitment seems sort of like an afterthought - just the dates and application. Plus, not all of the NPC chapters have a local website. Please note, however, that Alpha Omicron Pi does have a website. The Greek Life Office hasn't gotten around to updating the listing yet. Their website address is: http://www.aoiicsulb.org/

http://www.csulb.edu/divisions/stude...eek/index.html is the link directly to the Greek Life home page.

I am flattered that you seem to like Gamma Phi Beta so much. Though, I am not sure why you favor my organization over all the others! There are some really fantastic sororties at both universities! I echo what the others are saying. Go through recruitment with the idea that you'll at least give all of the groups a fair chance. Allow yourself to be open to finding out which one truly speaks to your heart. If you do that, you can't go wrong.

Best Wishes,

.....Kelly

Would like to point out that this very unhelpful website still has recruitment information for FALL 2015 on its Panhellenic Recruitment sub-forum.

You should also know that you just bumped a thread that was last updated 13 years ago.

Perfect point in both cases. Wake up, Rip Van Winkles.

It is also kind of fun seeing all the old GC screen names!

Oh I was aware of that however we do have PNMs who will have recently received their acceptance letters to both universities and might be considering joining a GLO.

Both have had NPC sororities return to these campuses and reestablish their chapters.

The "unhelpful website" that I was referring to was the CSULB Greeklife site. (Which was the one referred to in navane's post.)
