if this was your answer, then why keep posting ignorant comments such as the ones that have been posted over the last few hours. i wanted simple answers to my even more simplistic questions. im not scared, simply interested/curious. and as for the troll thing, is this a new thing for you? i think the last time i said anything about a troll was probably around the age of 8. sorry its still stuck with you.
Every question you asked was very direct about one house, one chapter.
And you have yet to even try to correct your typing.
And your comment on "trolls" is very odd given just about everyone over the age of 7 knows what the term means now.
Add your "tone of voice" and you have given most people a rather good idea what you are.

And if not, well we are unable to see you so we have to go by what you type and how you type it.

because i do not wish to correct my typing perhaps? .. i have already passed all of the english classes i have to take in my life, i think i know the correct way, and the internet sloppy way that i wish to type. also maybe you should read my troll comment again, i asked if were a new thing because i have not mentioned trolls since i was at most 8. my questions were directed toward one house. im not on the adpi or chio or any other sorority thread. im on the zta thread. i wanted to find out about zeta. ive already found out about several others and as i have mentioned multiple times, i want to find out about different organizations.

As for anyone else, if anyone has some USEFUL information, please let me know. if not thank you to zetagirl for your HELP.

as for this, you should take your own advice into consideration =)

Reviewing thread we all, at first tried to offer you the same help as Zetagirl. You just did not seem to wish to receive it.
And just to give you some more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_posts
As I said, most people on line today already know what one is. Trolls just to not admit to it.
And one stops being real friendly when they get hit a few too many times.

As for hazing Zeta Tau Alpha is strictly no hazing. All panhellenic chapters have rules about not hazing.

If you have more questions to ask about the new member period that would be good starter discussion questions for when you go through recruitment.


Good Luck with Recruitment!

Focus on recruitment for now. The new member stuff will come later, if you receive a bid.
Enjoy yourself.

futuregreek-
First let me say that I am happy you are going through recruitment. Joining a sorority was one of the best things I ever did.

Second- I will re-state what most have said already: every school is different, every sorority is different, and even if you asked the Zetas at your school, they wouldn't tell you what to expect necessarily. Recruitment is a time for thinking on your feet. No one gets to know the questions before they go on a game show. I will tell you that the plege period for most sororities (that I know of), consists of New Member Education...you learn the history, founders, greek alphabet, ETC. The most hazing I went through was trying to find a white dress in FEBRUARY for initiation. Finding a white dress in the winter months = not easy. (and no, I didn't really consider it hazing).

Third- The women will check up on you. Every Zeta I know is classy and they want classy ladies. Part of being classy is clean communication. It's just like a job. If you want the job, you better know how to speak and write well, even if it's something that doesn't seem important. TRUST ME, if they have 2 spots left and you and the other girl are the same as far as GPA, etc, and the only thing separating you is your grammar/typing/etc, you're going to be cut.

Fourth- I KNEW where I wanted to be when I walked into recruitment (and for the same reason as you- the philanthropy)....The first day I cut the house I thought I would join because I just didn't mesh well with the girls there. I would have loved the philanthropy but I wouldn't have felt like I had SISTERS there.


Good luck! I hope you find the home you're looking for.

TEH INTARWEB IS NOT ANONYMOUS

You pull this attitude, someone will find out who you are, and the ZTA chapter at your school will find out about it.

It's happened before, and it will happen again.

That's all I have to add to this thread. Everything else has been said.
