Hi UNA!!!! Welcome to GC.

We just pinned 7 beautiful MiTs last night--including my second little!!!!

Congrats on being a colony!! How long have you guys been a colony?

My chapter is relatively new itself--chartered in Oct. of 1999, so I know kind of what you're going through.

Keep us updated on the status of the colony!

Well, the colony has been a colony for right around two years at this point. I've been involved for quite a bit of that time, but it was already a colony when I got recruited into it.

At the moment, we're working on a fundraiser (a Bake Sale, we did one last semester - sold all of the goods for 50 cents - and made a pretty decent profit) for St. Patrick's Day (actual dates are March 17 and 18). We're also working on our Petition, and still recruiting members.

I've actually got a question for you and anyone else who might pop in to say hi on this thread.

When you encounter a potential MiT who loves music but isn't sure about a Greek organization, how do you describe SAI to her? There are a couple of girls who we'd love to have, but are hesitant to the whole fraternity/sorority/Greek thing.

Also, we have some interests that are members of other GLOs who we think might enjoy SAI as well, but they are worried about time and money--time more than anything. Any suggestions for recruitment amongst those who are already members of other organizations (NPC sororities and TBS...we don't have KKY here anymore) who may have those concerns?

We run into a lot of girls in my chapter that are hesitant about joining a sorority. Mainly, we just hound them for semesters on end and eventually they'll join. But, I always tell them what great friendships I've made and how much the organization has changed my life. Some people are also really enticed by the alumni connection and how that can be of use to them in the future (networking, jobs, etc...)

And, as for being in two orgs. I do it and I won't lie, it's tough. Last night, we had pinning. As soon as pinning was over I had to go to a Phi Sig event until 11p. It's tough but it can be done. I always tell girls that SAI is more than understaning of the other committments they have made. Make sure they know of the time commitment and meetings. It's tough, I'm not going to lie, but it can be done.

Just, make sure you choose girls who are dedicated to SAI and our ideals and not just "resume" girls.

I've got to run now, I'll get back on here later. I've always got more to say.

Yeah, I totally understand the friendships thing. My fellow colony girls have become some of my best friends. They're not my only ones, but I've gotten through a tough thing or two thanks to them.

And yeah, it can be time consuming, but it all depends on what's going on with your chapter/colony at a particular time, too. I really don't see myself ever going NPC Greek at my school...but I am involved with our Programming Board, and the time consumption of that depends on what we're putting on next.

Thanks for your answers, and I look forward to hearing what else you have to say.

How is everyone doing? It's been a little dead. Apparently GC decided to stop telling me when there were new posts in this thread so I miss probably the most action it has seen in a while!(aka DRAMA!).

AlwaysSAI · #52 03-12-2008, 08:29 PM

Oh gosh, the drama.

Really, what is there to miss...???

CuriousWildcat · #53 03-13-2008, 11:14 AM

Some big to do about Alumni stuff where people got called out. I have no clue it was all edited out.

AlwaysSAI · #54 03-13-2008, 10:25 PM

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.

OMG, are you talking about the SAI alumi thread??? I know all about that.

It really wasn't that big of a deal. I think some GC people are a little sensative.

CuriousWildcat · #55 03-13-2008, 10:44 PM

ahhh ok. Well I still missed it haha. So how is everything going?

I just got elected to an exec position (sgt. at arms) tonight, my best friend is VP Rit, and my roommate is VPM.

I'm really excited! I think everyone on our new exec board ended up where they best fit.

CuriousWildcat · #57 03-19-2008, 08:58 AM

That's exciting! Our new exec board is a combo that I had never thought of, so I'm really excited to see how we are work together!

CuriousWildcat · #58 04-13-2008, 08:29 PM

I will keep your niece and family in my thoughts. I am sorry that this happened so such a young person,and I hope everything works out.

AlwaysSAI · #59 04-14-2008, 03:32 PM

ADPiSAI, I'll keep your family/niece in all my thoughts and prayers.

SAI love forever!

Congrats, Curious, on your KKPsi initiation!

I have to give a web-wide congrats to my chapter--Kappa Gamma--and all the sisters that worked hard for this.

On Monday, April 28th, our chapter recieved the OVERALL EXCELLENCE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD from UNCG. Wooohooooo!!!

We beat out 2 D-9s, ADPi, Lamba Chi Alpha and Panhellenic Council!

It's the first full year we've been affiliated with the university and the first award we've ever applied for. Our service head worked really hard to take our chapter's service to the next level.
