ETA: I would have a hard time NOT capitalizing. It's automatic for me.

Thank you all for translating! So the OP wants to know if the sorority knows that she hasn't turned in her transcript yet?

Umm... why doesn't she just tell the VP of the sorority that she's waiting to get her grades, and that is why she hasn't yet turned her paperwork in?

Because then she couldn't come on here and ask inane membership related questions. DA!

i think that the bigger problem is not that she hasn't recieved a transcript yet, but that she's wondering if they want her before she's even been invited to fill out paperwork. i did not get the impression that she was in the application process, only that she had gone to their events and been friendly with the president. i have a feeling if the president saw her post here, especially with such a presumptous screen name and 6th grade grammar, the friendliness she has experienced would likely cease.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, if she hasn't been invited to fill out paperwork, that is presumptuous.

Hey now! I had way better grammar than that when I was in 6th grade!

Clearly, help with grammar wasn't the help that she was seeking. This was fun though. Seeing as how this has become the thread for educating others, I'd like to know the meaning of ETA. Thanks!

Edited to Add.

I had to think for a second, because I thought you were asking about ETA, as in H.
