Awfully dead in here - Topic: New Members before Charter status

[Asia2000]

Congratulations, Asia!

We were formally invited to join the Multi-cultural Council (the MCC)...

Does anyone here have experience taking in new members before you received your charter from the organization you're petitioning for membership?

Check with your organization of interest to see if they have specific guidelines on this. My sorority does - once an Interest Group has achieved Colony status, they have to have at least on Rush. When my Chapter was a Colony, we made the conscious decision to defer our Rush until the Spring semester (we became a Colony in the Fall) for exactly the same reason you mentioned - we wanted to become bonded amongst ourselves, not only as future sisters, but also by committing to the various requirements of becoming a Chapter. I know that our Delta Colony (as of this weekend! *cheer*) will be having rush right away - just like you, Asia, they're finding a lot of women interested in A.S.K.

Let us know how things work out! And yah, I'd be surprised if there was more activity on these threads...I'm glad people are using this as a resource for expansion etc., as opposed to a primary social forum!
