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.

My lovely sisters who are not white are not pretending to be anything. They are Kappa Deltas.
As someone who was raised Catholic, I'm not pretending, either.

I was wanting to give you the ESL benefit of the doubt, but I find I cannot do that since you're a non-lying WASP. You're also a moron, bless your heart.

Most NPC groups don't actively recruit members who are post-graduate. They don't have regular intake procedures for alumnae members. There are avenues for alumnae initiation, but it's an exception, not a regular path to membership.
That's just the way it works.
If you want to learn more, go read the AI board.

I think Diane007 was created as a distraction and should not be taken seriously.

You are actually a very boring troll. You really need to improve your trolling skills. *yawn*

We have never had any more NPC colonizations since 1983!

Your situation has ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING on this thread!
What do you want from us? It's not our fault that the school you went to didn't have Greek Life.
You need to move away from the keyboard and actually DO RESEARCH and you will discover that AI isn't something that you can just petition the sorority of your choice to do. It doesn't work like that.
You have to be APPROACHED by an active member in good standing to do AI and the process amongst itself takes YEARS.
And right now, your attitude on this public forum, is going to turn many people off.
I am getting the impression that you feel you are entitled to Greek Life and AI, no one is entitled to Greek Life.

Being a member off any GLO should be an honor-- they all have rich histories that should make every member proud.
That being said, you have no power here. Be gone! Before someone drops a house on you too!

However, to be an Alumnae Initate you cannot be a current member of any NPC to join another one that you want instead of another NPC group. Therfore how am I not considered eligible to only become an Alumnae Initate? Since this is the only classification and nothing else are available for me to become a member?

look. i can't say no one wants you. i can say that repeating the same thing and expecting a different answer is not a good plan. and i'm going out on a limb b/c you are a very silly troll: YOU DON'T GET IT.
PAY ATTENTION NOW
YOU ARE SOL. and i just ate my last cruller. time for a nap.

You graduated. You are an alumna of somewhere. You are not an undergraduate. You are not eligible to be a collegiate member because you are no longer in college.
