Well. This just got confusing. When I read her post, the first thing that came to mind was "We are Legion. We are many. You are one." Haha. Okay, I'll just see my way out...

Am I too tired or are none of these posts really stringing together?

Nope. Not stringing together one bit. I have no idea why Diana007 is telling us her life story, why she was using the royal "We", or why she wants the OP to join an NPHC when she's not allowed to.
Anyone's guess is as good as mine.

Have you thought about starting your own sorority?

Yes, can't believe she didn't think of this already.

It should be an online sorority!

OP: I'm sorry you've been disappointed with your sorority experience, but as you have learned what's done is done. The lesson to come from all of this is that YOU are now an adult, and as such, you are responsible for yourself. It is not your sorority sisters' job to make sure you are making grades, prioritizing, eating right, going to bed on time, etc. Your sorority sisters are not responsible for your general welfare. Your sorority has not replaced your parents. Rather, you have left the nest and are responsible for these things. Your sorority is a social organization and a way for you to make friends and get involved with the college community. Take it for what it is and own up to the fact that your mistakes are your own. A big sister's job is to sponsor the little through initiation, not to remind you to eat your vegetables, go to class and study. Now that you are an adult, your life is your own. Make good decisions and take responsibility when you make bad ones, as here. Good luck to you.

please step away from the keyboard. you are not presenting yourself in a positive light.
fwiw, the NPC ship may well have sailed for you. you may wish to investigate other organizations.

You have graduated. You, at this point, can no longer "look into NPC" groups. Find something else to do with your time and MAYBE somone who is an NPC member MAY ask her group about you being an AI. But it comes to you - not you to it.

Interesting that you want to be in an NPC sorority, when GreekRegret, who you apparently know quite well, wants to dump her membership so badly. Maybe you could just swap places. 
Sounds a whole lot like you might have been the one to push GreekRegret into her NPC membership, even though "she only ever wanted an NPHC group."
