Switching from a Local Sorority to a National One

As for my age, I'm only 20. I didn't think that was old for a sorority!

Ha, no it isn't necessarily old for a sorority- I meant that in terms of how many more years you will be in school. That really matters at some schools- and is a factor in some way or another. At mine, we had small chapters (all around 25-30) so most actives had leadership roles. An upperclass student had fewer years to serve as an officer- so that was a factor. But at the same time, we also liked them for what they brought to the table in terms of diversity of experience & maturity. So in the end it was a wash. However- at some schools it is an automatic out unless you are incredibly amazing and fantastic. Not saying you aren't, but you do have a couple of strikes to be mindful of. Hence my recommendation to either go through it fully (without intention of Single Intentional Preferencing, aka suiciding) or stop now.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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

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?

If everyone in the organizations are required to do it and they make up the organizations then the organizations are required to do it. I make sense.
