I'm not condoning (sp) cutting because someone is engaged but I do know the reasoning behind it. Most people will become alumni or go inactive once they are married, so I believe the chapters are thinking she won't be around for very long. This is really the same reason they don't want upper classmen either, they want someone who will be there 4 years. However, I believe upper classmen are much more mature and do much more for their chapters in the short time they are there.

Being engaged, being married or having children are all looked at in kind of the same way -- you have other priorities. Nobody in the sorority is going to hold it against you, but you may not be as available as some of the younger girls who have just shown up at the university and can make the sorority their first priority.

I'm glad you have three great houses for tonight, though.

I'm so happy that you do like all the houses you're going back to hope you have a great time!

It's just speculation when guessing that you''re cut b/c of being older, engaged etc. It's not like you get little rejection slips with the reason written in

Just to make that note b/c people are going to get silly about why or why not an engaged woman should be cut.

WE DON'T KNOW WHY SHE WAS CUT!!! She doesnt know either!

I wish I could I wrote a rec recently for an upperclassmen and I made sure to include that in her rec.

I know we don't really know why you were cut, but every girl asks why. I know I did. I love my chapter and now I look back at why I liked the other chapter and it was for the wrong reason. Things will work out for you, just keep your head up.

Sorry to hear about the cuts, but you've still got three awesome groups to choose from! I hope you have a wonderful time tonight, and will update us if you get the chance!

Any news from Vanessa?

[MTSUGURL]

Vanessa, I hope you are visiting your faves tonight. You're in my thoughts, and I enjoyed meeting you!

Do you know where you're going for pref yet?

[devoted04]

Ok...some of you may be a little right about me not know why I was dropped. But, just to fill you in a little, I made it VERY VERY clear that I would be around for the next 5 years (I'm getting my masters after my bachelor). Plus I know we will not be having children any time soon. I tried to explain to them that I have been engaged for over 3 years and we have been living together so it's pretty much like we are married anyway. The other thing is that we are getting married in 2 weeks (Labor day weekend). So now, when you walk into a room and completely click with the people, then get cut anyway....one can only ASSUME it's age related or due to being engaged. (Which I didn't mean it as a negative thing, I completely understand as well...it just...stinks! haha)

With that said, I'm sorry for not posting last night. My computer went bonkers!! Anyway, I went to 3 parties last night: ZTA, DZ, AOPi.
ZTA did a MTV Total Request Live Skit.
DZ did a MTV Made Skit.
AOPi did an Alpha's Angels (Charlie's Angels) skit.

All the skits were very cute and heartfelt. I met with my Rho Sigma today. I am attending ZTA and DZ tonight. I am VERY excited because I absolutely LOVE both of these....which makes it very hard because I am very torn as well. I am waiting for tonight's pref parties to help make my decision (and I still have a couple of questions for each sorority as well).

As you can tell, (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER) after last night I had 1 sorority move from like/love border to absolutely LOVE.....the other is still in LOVE status.

As for AOPi, I really liked them....but it didn't feel like home so I wasn't devastated when they dropped me.

Ok, I need to start getting ready for tonight! Thank you all for your support. You are all the best.....and good luck to those of you going through recruitment as well!

Assuming my computer keeps working, I will post how it went later tonight.

Love, Vanessa

[pinkyphimu]

good luck tonight!!! i am glad that you had a good time last night! here's wishing that you find your home!

[rosejoy]

Good luck Vanessa...I can't wait to find out where you end up!!!
