Rush at UCSC - Page 54

I've been very sick this weekend, and may not yet be thinking straight. I keep seeing congrats messages to wishinhopin about AXiD. I scrolled back through the messages and don't see where she told us that AXiD had gotten back with her and that it was a done deal. Did I miss something? Has NBO been accepted by AXiD as a new colony? Am I just confused?

Thanks for the help!!!

No, they met with AXD and "met" each other, but NBO is not yet a colony. First NBO has to write AXD a letter officially applying to be a colony, then AXD has to say yes, and then they have to come out and make it official.

...has that letter applying to be an AXiD colony been done yet? I sure hope so!

I think getting the letter written is what Corina's last post was about.

HI CORINA! and hi everyone else, Im celeste, Im a member of NBO also. Well i know corina had mentioned this place a couple times b4, but i have never actually had the chance to read it. However tonight, having nothing to do as usual, i remembered this place, and i wanted to see what she said. WAS I IN FOR A SURPRISE! THis thing is SOOOOOOOOO long, i was like whoa! But I just wanted to reiterate (dunno if thats spelled right, lol) what everyone else has said a million times. Corina, YOUR A GREAT GIRL! This sorority could never have survived without you to guide us, and I am truly thankful to not only be a member of NBO, and a sister to all its members, but i am most thankful to be your little sister!

I really hope everything with AXD goes well for us, because all of us, espsecially YOU have put so much effort into trying to make this thing happen and it would be sad it things didnt go well, but like you say everything is meant to be. Well cant wait to see ya in 2 weeks, cant wait to start school again!

Yay!

Great to finally hear from another member of NBO! Everyone here on GC has been rooting for y'all since day one. And I am practically biting my fingernails off waiting for the next "installment" of the NBO/AXiD saga! Good luck with everything. You all have already come so far in only a year. I am sure the next will have just as many great developments!

Hi everyone,

No word from AZD yet. They received our invitation and were presenting the option to their National Council. That was almost a week ago I believe...I'm not sure how long it's been. Hopefully we will hear from them soon! I have no idea how long it will take for them to get back to us, does anyone have any ideas? I'm just now realizing that we haven't planned for fall rush at all, and I'm stressing out! Like seriously we have no plans whatsoever. I can't figure out if we should put our efforts on hold until we find out what's going with AZD, or try to proceed as usual, or what. Any thoughts?

Corina

Corina,

Typically an Executive Council for a sorority meets once a week by phone or monthly in person (each organization is different, but this is something similar for each). They will meet as a Council and probably take a vote.

Hope this gives you some insight into the process. Good luck.

I would keep proceeding with recruitment as normal. You want women to join you whether you are NBO or you become AZD. Increasing your membership is never a bad thing.

Good Luck!

Corina,

Don't let the delay get you down... as you may know, my local sorority was in a similar situation to NBO's, and it took some time before our application to AEPhi went through. So, I'd advise you to hold a fall recruitment as you normally would, and then see what AZD says... don't put everything on hold just because AZD hasn't said anything yet.

Good luck

GPhiBLtColonel · #11 09-10-2002, 11:16 PM

...do rush as you would have done anyways...that will be good for all you NBOs (future AXiDs?) and is just another good mark in y'all's favor when AXiD gets back to you -- how impressed would they be if you said that rush was underway as opposed to ...well we wanted to see if we were gonna be AXiDs before we did anything more....
I know that AXiD will be coming back with a YES to NBO -- how could they not??? You Corina are awesome (Gamma Phi should have snatched you way back when they had their chance!!!!!) and so is NBO!

KDbutterfly · #12 09-10-2002, 11:56 PM

I just got done reading this whole story and I must say, I'm so in awe of all your hard work and dedication, Corina! Best of luck to your chapter and its future. I'm crossing my fingers for AZD to realize what an amazing group of women you are, and how much you all can accomplish because of your strong belief in yourselves. I applaud everything you've done and ever will do to keep this chapter growing. Corina, you're an amazing girl...you will go far

I think that NBO ought to procede with recruitment. I hope that everything works out with AZD.

RockChalk · #14 09-11-2002, 08:27 AM

Go ahead and do recruitment, Corina! Imagine how impressed AZD will be if they call you wanting to colonize and find out that you have a bunch of new members!

DWAlphaGam · #15 09-11-2002, 09:26 AM

I agree; move forward with your recruitment process. You could quite possibly have a fairly large turnout if women hear about your probable upcoming colonization by AZD because it would be another option to join a national GLO on your campus besides GPhiB, and because of the exciting opportunity to be a charter member of the chapter. Good luck!
