You know, there's a very real problem here. Since SHIM is a fairly new frarority, who writes the recs? Do we all write them, no matter what the affiliation? Can I write a rec if I'm still in college? What if I'm in a different GLO on the same campus, Can I still write a rec? What if I'm a pledge? Can I? Really?
Is it true that they have to wear their pledge pins on their underguccis and be prepared to show them on command?

I do, no, if you're an active SHIM, only if it isn't a Top 6 sorority at Texas, if you are a SHIM pledge in good standing. Yes, and yes.
And YES.

that's what i've heard. i have a friend who really wants to rush their house, and i'm so nervous for said friend because of this. although, s/he is such a show off that she'd probably enjoy it!

Can the fabulous Ms. Divine be SHIM's patron saint?

You know, I never received a response to this question in the rush and individual sorority forums last summer.
Ok, I am (was) a gay male and I got a sex change a few months ago. I want some sisters to love. Can I join a sorority?
I had to skip formal rush and join a local because no one answered me. So, please, answer the Grapist.

The SHIMs have more of a northern focus. We sincerely hope and pray that many of our members get asked to Old North - you know, where the brothers of a certain really cool northern fraternity come riding up to us on cows, dressed in overalls and mittens, and ask us to be their dates. We prefer to associate ourselves with the elite sororities/fraternities at schools such as Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Bradley, Northwestern, etc.
With regards to AI, at this point in time SHIM feels that AI only exists because lesser frarorities don't realize how "tacky" it makes them look to take sister/brothers who could not get a bid during TOP rush at a COMPETITIVE school. Maybe you should try Tau Rho Alpha Nu.

Is Boy George a SHIM also?

Pat was an honorary initiate. Boy George is a TPAN, we sould never associate ourselves with his ilk.

 Well, if you're going to be that way, maybe I'll just start my own sorority. Can someone help me write the ritual?? And do you think it would be ok if I used the same colors/flowers/motto/badge as another sorority? It's not like I would be copying them because I would change the name "slightly."

Unfortunately, no, and I know the reason why. That picture is from when Divine went through formal recruitment, and when you wear all red to open house rounds, the houses naturally figure you are only looking at AOII, ChiO, Alpha Gam, or maybe Alpha Chi. So SHIM and 14 other houses cut Divine, and Alpha Chi and AOII cut Divine for grades. Divine dropped out because Alpha Gam and ChiO were both in the bottom half of the top tier, and Divine wasn't willing to consider a house that wasn't in the top half of the top tier. This is why it's SO important to keep an open mind! Also DO YOUR RESEARCH ahead of time so you can buy a new wardrobe for recruitment that doesn't reflect any GLO's colors.
