Can't wait to hear about the new sorority coming to the FSU campus. Let us know your charter affiliation when you can!

AWESOME!!
I look forward to hearing all about it! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ @-->--- Pure as Silver, and True Blue! Alpha Sigma Kappa - Women in Technical Studies |
Sorry, I won't be revealing anything anytime soon. We've only been given the charter -- now we actually have to EARN our letters. Until then, I can't claim them. Wish us luck.

I find this an interesting, but somewhat difficult to understand, statement. In the NPC, when you become a colony you are allowed to wear letters and other paraphrenalia once you have undergone the formal new member and colony rituals. In some groups, like mine, only initiated sisters can wear our crest. Colonies do have to meet certain membership and financial criteria before they become an official chapter, but they are encouraged to let everyone know that they are now a colony of XYZ. I find it a little odd that this organization has agreed to let you represent them - obviously you've met their criteria as an interest group - but doesn't let you advertise your upcoming membership in that organization. I know that some GLOs equate wearing just letters as a big step in their membership process, but those incoming members should (at least) be able to tell their friends and family the group in which they are members. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. I also think some portions of the membership process for some (not all) of the LGLO, BGLO and AGLO groups should be considered hazing. |
I am sorry that this makes you uncomfortable. Rest assured, this does not in any support any type of hazing. However, we prefer to use discretion in matters pertaining to our business. We are not members of the NPC here, we are members of the MCC.

Asia2000,
I did not mean to imply that your current process was hazing in any way. I only meant that in addition to not understanding the membership processes of other groups, some of the actions that are 'public' during a group's process can be viewed as hazing. Unfortunately, those times when I've tried to gain further understanding in these areas, it's been difficult to get anyone to be candid and educational. I have a deep love for the fraternity concept and want to learn all I can about it, not just the NPC/NIC processes with which I am more familiar. I know you are not affiliating with an NPC group and I know that when you are proudly wearing your letters it will be one of the happiest days of your life. I wish you all good things and look forward to a day when we can (maybe) meet on campus and introduce ourselves. Keep us posted and if there is anything I can do, either as a ZTA alumna or as a member of the Tallahassee Alumnae Panhellenic, please let me know. Fraternally, Barbara |
