I think that "not drinking in letters" is mostly an undergrad chapter thing, partly because most actives are underage. Most alumni can legally drink, so as long as one is drinking responsibly, it doesn't reflect negatively on the sorority.
Sorry, I know I'm continuing off-topic. Good luck with the rest of recruitment!

Yeah, I know I tried to unhijack but I wanted to give everyone the reason I pointed this out.
Too many chapters and members think that because THEY do it, or they interpreted something in a certain way, that it's gospel everywhere. IT IS NOT. You also have to be very careful with wording. I about blew a gasket when I read on a chapter's web page "ASA forbids the use of alcohol" making us sound like none of our members in any chapters anywhere can drink ever. This is simply not true.
Before you publicize something in rush, or educate your members about it, be educated yourself. If something's CHAPTER policy, and the members of the chapter find it ridiculous, it can be changed. I wish more members knew this, they might feel more a part of the running of their chapter.

Tonight was break night, so no rush activities. Gave me some much needed study time. Tommorow is skit night, however! A little more personal, if I should say so.

Symbal, I'm sorry to hear we didn't invite you back. I hope you're able to find your home at one of the other 7 houses on campus! You say you like AOPi and Kappa best.. I know girls in both sororities and they're nice, fun, smart, pretty girls. I'm sure wherever you wind up, you'll love it. Good luck on skit night tomorrow, most girls think it's the most fun night of rush!

I hate to be the one to continue this so first of all, good luck Symbal! You're going to do fine!
Next, I agree with the others that being DRUNK to the point of stumbling around half dressed down a crowded street, in your letters, is what the chapters AND nationals are trying to warn against. We have all worked so hard to steer away from the stereotypical sorority girl played up in books and on tv. Therefore, when this is done, it is like taking two steps back after taking one baby step forward. In my PERSONAL opinion, going out with sisters to a very up-town restaurant in gorgeous dresses and having one more opportunity to wear your badge/pin and having a glass of wine or something along those lines, is perfectly acceptable.

Symbal, I'm sorry on behalf of my sisters at that chapter for their behavior, and I'm absolutely floored that they would act in such a way. Un-Sigma-like, indeed! 
On the subject of hijacking, our chapter had a 'no drinking in letters' policy. I'm pretty sure our girls knew it was a chapter policy, not national, but they also knew that some of the other chapters did not have this policy (and tended to have sisters being 'sloppy drunks' at fraternity parties), and when I was on Exec I never heard any complaints about it.
Symbal - how is recruitment going? And how's your weather? I'd hate to be going through recruitment here right now, with all the rain!

Just got back from my scheduling, and I was cut from SK and ABC, leaving only XYZ for tonight and (hopefully) tommorow night. I'm very excited because they were my number one pick thus far! However, I'm nervous, because I'm walking an awful thin wire now, you know?
However, that has not kept me from bouncing off walls!

You're excited? So am I!! Though I think I'm scaring my roommate with random bouts of squealing. 
Saturday (bid day) seems so far away, though. Then again, tommorow seems just as far away. I was never good with suspense.

Me neither! I'm dying to find out what's going to happen! I probably shouldn't spend so much time on the Recruitment Forum. I'm very glad you're going back to your top choice, and I really hope you find your home there!

Good luck tonight! I'm sorry to hear that scheduling issues have limited your choices... but as the mantra here goes, it only takes one :-)
