OMG! i didn't mean it like that i swear! i was just asking about the likely hood for "intake" over late spring/summer for a fall line. Because i'm at the brink of Junior/Senior so.. if it is entirely unlikely wouldn't that cross me off the list because i'd graduate that spring?

I bet you that some of the aspirants on your campus have figured out or have been told the answers to some of these questions by the members on the campus.

Ask yourself why you have to ask us these things. You may not know for a reason.

Dr. Phil, I just knew somone was gonna say that ... oh dear..

Well i do have what i think is a MAJOR determining factor for my "non-interest" type issue, but like Dr. Phil said "i'm figuring it out on my own"

I'M JUST ON FRIGGN PINS AND NEEDLES!

in the mean time.. How likely is it for a 2nd semester junior/1st semester senior to be accepted for NPHC? Would it be frowned upon like "why, her she's just going to vamp out in a year anyway" type attitude?

You can figure out the answer to both of those questions on your own.

If someone is attending ALL of the events, then her interest is known, ne c'est pas?

That's the idea I was leaning towards. Just to give you all a better understanding of where I'm coming from, I'll give a few deets about myself.

I'm across the country from my fam, entirely by my choice but never the less. I have to work full time to maintain a standard of living and I also attend school full time. Therefore, my time is stretched. That's why I asked about attending ALL events because I may not be able to do so. After high school I had every intention of attending "my choice" HBCU (thus not having to work so much) but my parents at the time couldn't afford it. I'm sure i could've thrown a tantrum but I've been through a great deal of things over the past 6 years so I put on my big girl britches and came to the realization maybe what I wanted wasn't for me.. Come to find out it was for my baby sister (love that girl dearly) and she is doing OUTSTANDING. Typically you'd think I would be super green but she's my sis & she's over there making all of us proudest people we could be right now. So I am content (but not entirely satisfied) that my post-high school plans didnt go as planned. So I'm here alone with ABSOLUTELY NO FAMILY & VERY few (& few is a stretch) friends (i do have my long time bf & his fam but you know "there's no one like your own mama or your own fam"). Before this, my family was EVERYTHING!

In a nutshell I have ALWAYS felt the urge to be a part of something bigger than myself helping people who otherwise wouldn't be helped & being a part of " a group in which i'm not seeking" OMG would just satisfy my spirit to the fullest because it's family, no matter what no one will ever understand you or be there for you or nurture you like family. I love my blood sisters to death & I just wouldn't know how to act if someday somebody told me I had thousands more! I just thirst for this in so many ways.. it's so hard to explain..

I could go into more detail but for the sake of all reading, I'll keep it right here

I stopped here.

The long and the short of it is that you need to stop telling us and worry about the real life women who you need to talk to.

I personally don't care about your story because everyone has one. We can't help you either way beyond what we've told you. Good luck.

precious lamb.. funny that you say that. I told myself the same thing a little bit ago.. however, i just felt like somebody in here (this thread) would understand because Patty Pledge wasn't born "Patty member of XYZ".. she had questions & at a point i'm sure was just looking for someone to say "i understand" because they too were at one point in her same shoes. but i also understand you all are literally unable to help outside the norm.

In any case, you guys have been a great help and I am extremely gracious that this website has so many people willing to help out those of us who "are not interested".

keep posting <3

Yeah, it is interesting. But not uncommon to think about (among undergrads these days) because all the stuff in between is private, secret, or just plain unknowable.

WTF are you commenting for, no one is interested in your organization so find something else to do other than post idiotic and helpless comments. obviously questions are being asked for a reason and you arent doing anything but wasting space with your worthless ass words. so if you have nothing informative to say then dont say SHIT!!!!!!

QFP.

Just because there's a reason behind asking a question doesn't mean it's worthy of an answer.

Damn. You won't be gracing the Greek system with your presence? I'll try to pick up the pieces and move on with my life.

Oh, by the way...
