I think I made a mistake.

Diana:

You've described what you could not do as a collegiate and your reasons for not being able to do what you wanted to do. It seems that you are expressing feelings about the loss of a wished-for NPC sorority experience.

Describe your goal with regard to NPC sororities. For example, do you want to join one?

Describe how you plan to achieve your goal. For example, do you plan to look into AI?

The reason that I ask is that I don't understand where you are coming from in this thread nor do I understand what you are trying to achieve.

Where's the TrollBan button?

[AZTheta]

oh and thanks for explaining what the op meant and giving us your opinion and interpretation. maybe you can give us your name and contact info, and we can draw straws and see who is going to invite you to AI. yeah! that's brillliant. I need another cruller. i love being a good problem solver.

And with one last ridiculous comment & question, Diana007 has deleted all of her posts. Luckily, we have plenty of QFPs to document this entertaining spectacle. There was one last post from Diana007 that has been deleted. It certainly deserves to make it to a QFP:

I realize that I am only eliable for Alumnae Initation. However, I am curious about the woman that became a member of an NPC when she only wanted to become a member of an NPHC group. I have a unusual question regarding membership in response to this situation. What about the Organization itself known as Alpha Phi Alpha which belong to both the NPHC and NIC at the same time? Does that mean that members of Alpha Phi Alpha belong to the two groups at the same time?

It has been fun! We haven't had very many interesting trolls lately. Back to work.

Yaaaaaay we have learned our lesson from the last failed QFP. Good job, GC!!

A third option - pay whatever alumna dues you agreed to at your initiation, and do nothing else. I'd venture to say that's what the majority of alumnae do, unfortunately.

I'd bet most don't even do this.

Who is the "we" for whom you're speaking?

From your other posts, I see you are not Greek, at least not yet. Perhaps on a question like this, you should defer to those who are Greek, who know the rules of their sororities and conferences and the reasons for those rules.

Wow. Sorry, but you don't get a vote. What you think might be interesting to you, but doesn't change reality. NPHC groups have rules, too.

Interesting that you want AI specifically into an NPC organization. Good luck with that.

Do you have anything to share about Greek yogurt, perchance?

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."

wait... what?

Have you thought about starting your own sorority?
