Status of Your Local

[ZetaXiDelta]

A quick update...as some of you know, my campus has repeatedly denied requests to bring an NPC to campus. I contacted the assistant activities director the other day and she responded that they do not have the resources available to bring an NPC to campus. I emailed her yesterday inquiring about the resources that we would need that they would not be able to offer and this is what she replied with....

" Hi _______,
I've been doing a bit more research about the prospect of having an NPC group on campus and could possibly accommodate the requirements, depending on what the national office needs RIC to do. Do you have a specific NPC group in mind?

Thanks,
__________"

So, it seems as though we are moving in the right direction now and that all of my persistence may pay off!!!

Good luck, I was involved in getting my chapter of APO re-chartered and assisted in the chartering of another, that that one did not work out. It can be a really exciting and fun process. have fun and keep us updated.

hi girls! I'm the VP of Omicron Pi in Hoboken, NJ. We're a little sorority with only about 22 active members (Stevens is very small) Just found the postboard and wanted to leave a little msg. Our formal rush started yesterday. We'll have our new pledge class by next week! We're anticipating maybe 5 or 6 new pledges (since most girls go dphie or phi sig) but who knows this semester since there seemed to be more freshman girls interested in sorority life than in previous years!

Good luck with rush girls, let us know how things go!

Hey,
I'm near the city in NY and am from a local as well at SUNY Cortland. I definitely understand being local amongst national organizations, we also had phi sig and dphie at my school, plus two others. Good luck during recruitment, let us know how it goes, and if you need anything, i'm here (well all of GC is ) to help!

If you think 22 actives is small then mannnnn.

We've got 13 actives right now after crossing 4 new brothers (the biggest pledge class to cross last semester thanks to some stupid new rules we're all getting used to). This semester we've got 5 pledges wearing wonderful green ties which is pretty good.

Last 4 years we've been hovering around 13-19 actives which is fine by me. Smaller numbers means more intimacy and better connections.


p.s. I'm Iota Kappa Phi in Newark, NJ at NJIT

KENDALL!!!! you are the best. Congrats to you guys!

The stupid new rules he's referring to (i think) is NJIT's Deferred Rush policy. I think it took awhile for everyone to get used to it.

I was told that my sisterhood welcomed 6 ladies to our Alpha Eta class.

Good luck this semester everyone!

I just visited the campus that will be home to my sorority's beta chapter! We will chater them at the end of their crossing new members.

[AlethiaSi]

I *think* we have 6 girls new membering this semester... News from the girls is few and far between... I think their having some serious problems but don't want to tell any of us older alumni girls... I hope they can handle it....

[ZetaXiDelta]

Three girls showed up tonight. One was unable to attend, so all in all we will have 4 girls go through rush week. We decided to make this rush week shorter due to the small number of girls - three of the girls are friends of at least one person in the sorority and the fourth is new.

We are still working on going national! When I have more info I will pass it along

[OmegaPDPrez]

Are there any other groups out there doing rush this week? Our rush doenst start until next week..
