Switching from a Local Sorority to a National One

[33girl]

You know them. You're friendly with them. They have sympathy that your Greek experience didn't turn out well. That doesn't mean they want you to be their sister.

And I don't know how anyone else's sorority works, but I know that in my group more than the exec board votes on who gets a bid.

i gotta go with my gut and say this is a bad idea. i think you're setting yourself up for failure, especially since you're suiciding. it will become common knowledge that you are. and in my experience, the girls who made it known they WOULD be XYZ or nothing... ended up with nothing.

I am wondering why the adviser has to meet with the heads of the groups. Panhellenic should be able to say very easily (and so should the greek adviser but whatever!) that you can or cannot according to the bylaws (which probably only matters if the local is a member and most likely not at all if they are not associates). the rule would be strictly panhellenic's and not any NPCs and hopefully they are all educated enough to know that.

I really wasn't trying to be mean, and I know the philantrophy is important, even the honors societies I joined have them. I am just saying it kinda fake all the girls that say ohh geez I just love ____ because they worth with Ronald Mcdonold house or whatever and that is why I joined because it really impacts my life. It is good to take an interest in the special work you do but since the purpose is doing something to help others any select charity is the point.

They raised the money and never donated it, illegal much?

I don't think anyone on here will deny they have been in a fight with a memeber or seen members quit over fights. We aren't saying you didn't have something bad happen or a negative experience but that doesn't mean you can join another and another each time life gives you lemons.

I'm the only one besides the advisor that will know I'm suiciding.

Did you not have a good GPA and get invited to join those Shadow? Actually they are harder to stay in than Greek life because the maintain a 3.0 and get 10 service points a semester etc.

Yes, what I was getting at is that my reasoning would be spread and nearly all members would know. You said I'm probably not as well known as I think I am. Just saying that the exec would have to give reason to the entire sorority when they vote.

You talk big for a Latino Fraternity founded only 23 years ago.

The advisor doesn't HAVE to. I think she just wants to. According to her they have no right to deny me the right to Rush again per their by-laws. She just wants to make sure that they don't think I"m walking in off the street trying to piss everyone off.

I don't plan on joining one after the other. The one I was in just wasn't for me. I love greek life and I want to be completely involved in it again but in a situation that better suits me.

When you learn how to write a sentence properly, you can respond to me

Baa-zing! Right for the jugular! You sure know how to make me feel like less of a man!

Maybe Shadow you just don't value education. At my school all Greek organizations had to join a honor/service society that required a 2.8 GPA as well as a regular club or campus group.

The organizations themselves? Or the members of said organizations?
