Another AI Story

[mshoole]

Once upon a time there was this cute perky little girl....Alright enough of that....I am finally taking the uneasy step into the vast vast open space to find a sisterhood. I am in contact with 3 alum chapters. I have a tea on the 24th of april and I have a y-me run/walk on mothers day with another chapter. And, Im waiting on word with another chapter, they are in the mix of changing exec. board. Keep you all posted as I go through this. If you have any ideas on sisterhoods to look at will gladly look at them. Just let me know.

MS

[Sister Havana]

Good luck...I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. (Hey, we're neighbors, maybe! :D )

[bsp-mich24]

Good luck & keep and open mind during your search :D

Mich

Edited: p.s. Check your PM box.:)

[mshoole]

So...like I have said, I have been keeping in contact with a few sororities that have caught my eye. Well, one of them has asked if I would like to participate in fundraiser in May. I accepted and cant wait for it.

I heard from another group and was told that they dont accept AI's and that I should find another sisterhood and best of luck with the whole process.

And, I got a phone call yesterday from another chapter (I so wish I could just say which ones, but like most I am not rocking the cradle before I have too) asking if I wanted to go to a get-to-gether at one of the ladies where they have more "AI's" coming and getting to know them. That's on Saturday night. Crossing the fingers.

Also, a side note I bought my very first car today....I feel so proud I named her (yes i even gave it a gender) Jackie. After, my friend who helped me find her earlier this week.

Keep you posted next week about this coming Saturday.

MS

[ms_gwyn]

sounds like things are moving in a positive direction for you.

congratulations to that.

I understand about being descret, I wish I could shout from the moutains about my group. But I will not until, I HAVE a date of inititiation and the badge order is complete.

please keep us posted on your progress.

[LouisaMay]

Alright, mshoole!! Sounds great! It's wonderful that you will have the chance to meet other AIs. What a great opportunity!

LM

[MelodyCat]

Good luck to you. :)

[mshoole]

Saturday was intresting...I liked the sisters in the chapter but that was really it. The other girls there were all way to out of my league, (meaning they were more older, any had families)...Oh well...I did hear from the chapter though and I have a lunch date with a few of them today...Fingers are still crossed...and I also am doing a project with another chapter with a fellow GC AI in April...we will see

MS

[mshoole]

Lunch was great. I couldnt of been more pleased with everything and the way it went. I was sort of surprised though on how easily it was to talk to them when it was just me and I wasnt feeling like I was being put on a stool being observed. Just thought I would let you all know.

thanks~
I had fun like I said earlier...I actually got an email from one of the ladies to come to a "big-wig" meeting later this month..Not sure how Im going to do it since its smack dab in the middle of a business meeting of my own...If anyone has any thoughts would love to hear.

MS

[mshoole]

An alum of one of the sororities I am looking at sent me this today:

Our next meeting is April 21st at 7:00. It is in Glen Ellyn and is about Aromatherapy. The meeting after that is on May 19th and it is at Lou Malnattis in Naperville at 7:30. If I didn't mention, we like to eat in our group. We hope to see some new faces at that meeting since we are going to send out a notice this month about it to Alumni in the area. Let me know if either one works for you.

I will be anxious to hear about school and the rest of your family when I see you.

I would advise against skipping a business meeting in order to go to a sorority meeting. I understand sorority is important to potential members and sorority members, but you also have your real life to think about.

Agreed on that one. Keep your eye out and take advantage of any potential changes with said business meeting, but it's the unfortunate priority. While in college, we were always told 'school comes first.' I suppose that for alum, we should say 'Work Comes First!'

How about I send you one...LOL...I cant wait for that meeting in May...mmm pizza...

[mshoole]

So as I am sitting here thinking about the chapters that I have been in contact with recently...I wonder if I am just trying to hard or what. The reason why I say this is because:

Sorority group A: Lots of emails, talking on the phone, meeting with them, and then nothing.
Sorority group B: 1 email, but messages on my cell phone every other day, and then nothing.
Sorority group C: No emails, 1 phone call, but 2 invitations to meet the chapter members.
Sorority group D: No emails still talking on the phone all the time with Headquarters but no chapter around, do I want to start one of my own?

I just dont know if I have the time for anything like that...I am thinking after the month of May I am going to take a summer and do nothing and start up in August or September. Sort of like a break. But, then my biggest question is what if one of the groups calls when I am on break and they want to get together? What do I do?

If anyone has any ideas on this I would love to hear..Mostly so I dont keep "worrying" about this....

[Tom Earp]

Beleive it or not, schools while dont seem to be winding down they are, so are Greek Organizations. They really bust them selves to do things early in the school year and start winding down.

Keep looking into it is all one can do.:) It doesnt happen over night as you have seen on site.:(

[aopinthesky]

>>>If anyone has any ideas on this I would love to hear..Mostly so I dont keep "worrying" about this....<<<



You don't say how long you have been "at" the AI thing, but my impression is that it has not been long. Forgive me if that is not correct. If you take a look at the list of potential AI's that has been posted, many of them have been in the process for a year or more. It takes time and some groups move faster than others. As for starting your own group, I don't really think that is an option for an AI. I am fairly sure you would have to be initiated member of an NPC group to start an alum chapter.
I am not an AI and there are posters who know a lot more about it than me, but my initial reaction would be to tell you to go to any events that you are invited to and refrain from contacting any more groups unless you have been turned down by some of the ones you are already working with. It seems to be unusual in the AI process to be trying it with several groups at once although some AI's will be in contact with two at the same time. Just my .02 cents.

-----------
Sorority group D is not an alum/collegiate chapter...It is a service only sorority...Does that make since? I have been off and on looking at sororites nearly since 2001. Which I know makes me young if you know anything about me, but I have been real hesintate about joining anything, until know.

I am glad to know that even if I dont receive any notices or phone calls in the next few months, that it may not be becuase they dont like me, they just are "greek-break"...Thanks

[aopinthesky]

I am curious, since you mentioned that you are a member of Beta Sigma Phi, why you are seeking another sisterhood? You may not want to say - but BSP seems to have very active chapters with committed members just about everywhere (and I notice from your profile that you live in a large city).

[MelodyCat]

She's not the first PNAM to be a Beta Sigma Phi - so are Jill and bsp-mich-24. :)

[aopinthesky]

I certainly was not implying that BSP members shouldn't pursue NPC membership and I know from Mich and Jill's posts that they are loyal and active members of both of their organizations.

[Jill1228]

It's all good! Yup I love both orgs an am upset I missed my Beta meeting tonight due something happening in my family back East

[mshoole]

Jill sorry to hear that you missed your meeting.

To answer aopinthesky question. The reason why I am looking for a National Sorority besides BSP is the main fact that, my BSP chapter is heading in a new direction (I am starting a Freindly Venture, and it takes time for the FV Chapters to get on its way, especially in my town.) Also, I was intrested in NPS when I was in college and I always have been directly or indirectly involved with BSP. I think I just totally dodged your question, sorry.

I guess a reason is I like meetings, I like meeting new people, and I can only do so much of that at work and with BSP.

Good Question.

[Tom Earp]

I hope all of the Service Organizational Members rember that they can also be members of Greek Social Organizations.:)

While Greek Letter Service Organizations are there to do Service, so are Social Greek Organizations. Yes, in many instanstancious, there is a difference! Small as it may seem at the Time!

I am a Proud Member of APO, I am a LXA and have many responsiblities to them for what I am doing.

Never forget your herietage!:)

Just Look at Jill, And Michell, that is your answer!:cool:



Jillybean, PM me, need a phone #! DA!:)

Will never get on a Rollor Coaster with this Crazy Lady!:o

Long story Sports Fans!;)

I'm not looking to be tackled for asking this question, but I feel it is legitimate---

Why the interest in joining a sorority post-college? The alumnae don't have the same kind of structured programming and activities as you'd find in a college chapter. Why not join the Junior League, Sandpipers, etc.-- a women's volunteer organization that also involves socialization, leadership training, etc.

Just curious on what the big deal is-- sisterhood is just a fancy word for "friendship" and you can have a similiar experience in a civic organization or volunteer society.

You are correct in your assumption that this is a loaded question. It is a very heartfelt subject for many women. I can't give you a personal answer because I am a collegiate initiate, but there are probably as many reasons for wanting this particular experience as there are AI's. Perhaps the opportunity for collegiate membership never presented itself, perhaps someone joined a sorority as a new member and for some reason was not initiated, perhaps a mother wants to share the experience with her daughter when her daughter joins a sorority - there are lots of reasons. No, it is not the same as being initiated in college and the experiences are different, but it is no less special. Many alumnae chapters are very active and do provide the same kinds of activities as the social clubs you mentioned. I am a member of one of those organizations, and I love it, but I do not agree that it is the same as taking an oath with women who you have sought out to bond with.
You don't mention your affiliation and many sororities (NPC or not) don't have an AI program. I think that if your sorority does it then it is a bit easier to grasp. Mine has always done this - even back in the dark ages when I was a collegiate - so I don't find anything unusual about it. I have seen other threads on GC where the sorority members had no point of reference for AI and found it hard to understand.
I think it is a lovely thing and I can think of several women in my life with whom I would love to share this bond. Hope that is at least some help.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I felt compeled to answer this question.

There is one simple word that comes to mind for me tradition. To be a part of something that was started over/close too 100 years ago and have thousands of women go through the same thing as you did and anticipate future generations to experience the same thing is mind blowing and something that I want to be a part of. Yes there is the community and philantropic aspects but its bigger than that. THIS IS A SISTERHOOD THAT YOU ARE JOING FOR A LIFETIME, not just in college. Some of us, like me almost went "all the way", by that I mean being initiated, other had other life circumstances that happened to be more important and this is an outlet to finish what we've started.

I have something to add to a sisterhood and I know that I would be a great asset and also I can learn things to better myself. These are some of the reasons of why we are doing this.

Ok I think I'm done.

I hope I answered some of your questions.

Okay so today was a meeting that I had to miss. I def. didnt want to miss it, but with the weather that we had on tuesday here in the chicago area, I had to go and work. Okay to better explain. I work for a paramedic/firefighting group in a county one over from where I live. Lots of tornadoes came through while I was out chasing one F4 in particular, well...since I was already out I have been out doing that all day Wednesday and The rest of Tuesday night. I am actually off to go and finish helping iwth cleaning up and everything else. But yeah anyway I had to miss a meeting and I guess they were okay with it and would like me to come to next months meeting. Hmmm, I wonder what....Hopeing all are safe where ever you may be.

MS

[AOIIsilver]

Chasing an F4?????
I hope all are well. Tornadoes are terrible scary tings!
Silver

[mshoole]

tornadoes are figured into 5 categories...F1 is considered a small not that damaging kind of tornadoe. where as F5 is what you mostly see in Oklahoma and Texas. F5's can also be classified (if near the water) as the beginning of a tropical depression/storm. So an F4 is just a little lighter than that, but still quite dangerous. We lost 8 people as of last count and we had 9 surviors, with 22 people missing. Not a great number count, but still we belive it could of been worse. I had fun till it got real hairy with the touch and go of where peoples saftey's were in our (people rescuing and chasing) hands.

[GPhiBLtColonel]

mshoole,

This is just a slight hijack but I want to give you a round of applause for what you do with the paramedic/firefighting group you work with. You see, I just got back from a short, sad visit to Wheaton IL near where you are (my father in law is very very sick...dying of pancreatic cancer) and while we were having dinner Tuesday night, the tornado siren/alert in my in-laws' home went off. We saw that the tornado was on the ground and possibly heading for us...we talked about how to get my father in law to the basement (he can't walk except with a walker and only for a few steps) "just in case." But thankfully the tornado did not hit us...the next morning we were so sad and shocked to see what had happened in Utica...we could have been in that same situation, needing help from you and your colleagues. I feel so bad for what happened in Utica and the families of those who died. :( :( :(

That being said, I applaud what you do to help those in need! Very admirable work.

And I wish you good luck in your search for an AI home. I hope the groups you are in contact with come thru for you.

By the way, our Gamma Phi Beta convention is in your area (Chicago - Lincolnshire) in June.

[mshoole]

GPhiBLtColonel~
Thank you. I appreciate it very much. I hoep to find a home soon as well. I am very sorry to hear about your father in law, that must be very upsetting in your family righ tnow. I am glad to hear that you did not need to come up wtih a backup emergency plan. Utica was horrible scene, and I am acutally on my way in a few to go back down and help some more. I am so gald to hear that your convention is near me. I hope you have a great time. And, please hijack this thread anytime you want.

In my thoughts and prayers

MS

[mshoole]

I had a meeting that I had to miss last week. they were real understanding. My other group I am looking at is meeting this thursday but I have a prior engagement that wont let me ditch it for so I am meeting with a couple of the woman in next wednesday for dinner in the city. The other group (which is a non-pnam) is underway, it is a cross between online and land. Which means if you want to join it as an online group you can but if you want to join it as a land chapter you can. I have a total of 14 members in it, 6 are through online and 6 are through the land part of the chapter and 2 of us are going in between both. Its working out real well right now.

Anyway thats my update for you all now.

Check you later this week

MS

By the way any guesses on where I am going?

[Sister Havana]

I'd guess but I'm not allowed to. :D

Good luck next Wed! Where in the city are you going?

[mshoole]

Sister Havana~
You can guess I guess. They might need the help...:p I am going somewhere near "Bar Row"...I just go the directions today. Should be fun.

[mshoole]

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there.

Today I go to meet about 10 wonderful ladies, in dowtown Chicago. We did a Charity Event. I had so much fun. It seemed that they were all excited to meet me as I was to meet them.

I actually stayed in Downtown Chicago last night and ran to the meeting point early this morning. Then I walked roughly 3 miles today in the race. I had a great time. We had lots of pictures and lots of moms came to support us. I actually met three woman who live literally right down the street.

Lots of pictures were taken of the group and the walk. I also found out that they are meeting later this month as well as next month. They talked about emailing me when they are going to be getting together next. I had the best time in the world. I'll let you know what happens.

MS

[polarpi]

Sounds like things are going wonderfully! Best of luck with your continued AI journey! :)

[Sister Havana]

That sounds wonderful! :D

[mshoole]

Should I send a thank you note for letting me join yesterday, in the Charity Event? What does everyone think?

[chideltjen]

Go for it. It couldn't hurt anything. It would be a very nice gesture at least. :D

[MTSUGURL]

My mommy always said: When in doubt, send a thank you note. That got me several jobs, second interviews, etc. Granted, I'm from the south and if I didn't send thank you notes for EVERYTHING I was grounded for a week...

Wow! It sounds like you had a really nice day! Not only was it a fun day. but you did it all for a good cause too! Way to go!


.....Kelly :)

[mshoole]

Okay thanks everyone, I appreciate the the idea. I wrote a hand-written email to the chapter, but then I wrote also a quick email to the ABC Chapter Sister that invited me to go and participate, she got sick and couldnt come. :( oh well. anyway, thanks again. Hey what did everyone do for MOM's Day???


MS

[mshoole]

For all who have been following this through out the many (4 pages worth of) posts...Today is the Pizza day. It is at 730, and I cant wait. I will give as many details as I can tomorrow when I am at my desk.

Have a great hump day!

MS

[ladyj39]

Good luck mshoole! We're all rooting for you! :D

[Sister Havana]

Woohoo! Can't wait to find out how it went...good, I hope!

[ms_gwyn]

I hope that you had fun at Pizza Day, give us details

[mshoole]

Okay so yesterday was the pizza day like i said. I had a great time, I brought a friend Janet with me becuase she said she was real intrested in finding a chapter herself. I think it went real well. But I never know.

The woman of the group went to St. Peter and Pauls Catholic Church in my area and looked at the stained glass windows in the church (they are gorgeous if you guys ever get out here or know where the church in naperville is go and look at them). Then about 5 of us that are thinking of doing AI met them at the Pizza Place where we sat and got to know each other. I met alot of woman that live right around me and know my family (could be a good thing or a bad thing). The whole meeting (get-together) last about 2 hours. Some of the woman went for drinks afterwards and Janet and I went with. I had a great time.

Just an update to all who know about the wedding. jeff got into a terrrible car accident about two in a half weeks ago, and I have been taking care of him and going to school. So we are hoping that he recovers (broken leg, crushed knee cap and severe concussion).

Hope all AIing is going well for those who are looking and for htose who have found your homes, I hope that everything is what you had hoped for.

MS

[rho4life]

Wow! Best wishes for a speedy recovery, and congrats on a great event.

[mshoole]

Thanks.

[cash78mere]

you sound like you are having so much fun with this AI process! best of luck to you!

and i hope the fiancee gets better soon as well!

[mshoole]

Thank you

[thread hijack - squawking 7500]

Just to clarify mshoole's previous post...

THE FUJITA-PEARSON SCALE OF TORNADO INTENSITY

F0 Gale tornado (40-72 mph) - Some damage to chimneys; breaks branches off trees; pushes over shallow-rooted trees; damages sign boards.

F1 Moderate tornado (73-112 mph) - The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed.

F2 Significant tornado (113-157 mph) - Considerable damage. Roofs torn off frame houses; mobile homes demolished; boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; light object missiles generated.

F3 Severe tornado (158-206 mph) - Roof and some walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned; most trees in forests uprooted.

F4 Devastating tornado (207-260 mph) - Well-constructed houses leveled; structures with weak foundations blown off some distance; cars thrown and large missiles generated.

F5 Incredible tornado (261-318 mph) - Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 meters; trees debarked; steel reinforced concrete structures badly damaged.

F6 Inconceivable tornado (319-379 mph) - These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the mess produced by F4 and F5 wind that would surround the F6 winds. Missiles, such as cars and refrigerators would do serious secondary damage that could not be directly identified as F6 damage. If this level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies.

A key point to remember is this: the size of a tornado is not necessarily an indication of its intensity. Large tornadoes can be weak, and small tornadoes can be violent.

Source: http://www.tornadoproject.com/fscale/fscale.htm

Actually, F4 and F5 tornadoes are very rare, and there currently has never been an F6 recorded in history. (The original Fujita scale went up to F10 (with winds at an estimated unbelievable 500-600 mph) but was later revised to the current scale.)

Hurricanes do generate isolated tornadoes, but most are of the F0-F2 classification - the main storm is the one that produces the most damage.

There were 5 of you there that are potential AI's? Wow! Sounds like the pizza thing went very well! When is the next event?

[mshoole]

AlphaSigOU~
Thank you for putting that up there. Please dont think that I am telling you that you are wrong, I have never heard of an F6. I have been doing this for quite sometime and never heard of that...hmm more research for me to do I guess. Thanks though...


lauralaylin~
The next event is in June it is a pool party at one of the members houses. Pizza Day as I am now calling it went very well. I was shocked to see that there were 3 other people that I didnt know that were doing AI. The reason for me not knowing 3 is I brought one friend who was thinking about it and she had a great time.

Anyway, its off to check the weather I have to go out and sit with the "guys" today and make sure nothing happens, I just love my weekends.

My A Chapter is on break but we are meeting on the 1st of July for a little "4th of July" Party. thought I would let you all know.

[mshoole]

Hello, to all. Just wanted to let you know that everything is going well. I have a conference for my A Chapter at the end of the month. I decided that while it would be great to go back to california, I am somewhat partial to chicago now, and so I decided not to go to UCB. Instead I am going to work full-time for this Legal Firm in the area and go to DEPAUL UNIV. for my JD. Oh yes, the 4th party get together was quite fun. How is everyone else doing?

Were you already accepted at DePaul?

Yes I was already accepted into DePaul. I acutally had been accepted at the beginning of the last school term.

Are you going during day or night? I have several friends from school who are attending there as rising 1L or 2Ls.

[mshoole]

I am going during both the night and during the day. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have 2 classes during the day and then Monday thru Thursday I have night classes as well. And On Saturday I have a class that I am taking as well.

Thats cool. Maybe I will run into them.

I thought I would let all the PNM's that are still looking that I have found a home. It is a great home and I love the girls that are in it. IT was my A Chapter.

[KSUViolet06]

That's awesome! I wonder who it is :)

[mshoole]

Okay weird question. Should I say who it is now or wait until I get initiated. I have never understood when I should tell. Any clues?

[Tom Earp]

If, it has been decided and your
decision was given, then it is not neccesary to hide who you are affiliating with any longer.:)

If you have an Intiatiaion date, then it is a done deal. You have been accepted and will become a New Member!

Sounds good that You Got What You were Shooting For!:cool:

You are driving The Ladies Nuttsoid!:D

[polarpi]

Congratulations! Whenever you decide to reveal, I'll be thrilled for you! :)

I vote that you should say now! :)

[ALaska_Beta]

I think you should wait. But that is just me. you never know something could happen and you do not make it..Just my 2 sense.

By the way MS:
Congrats...I knwo you ahve wanted this chapter since you started looking.

[tinydancer]

Well, I waited until I had received word from Gamma Phi as to when I would be initiated. Then I shouted it from the rooftops!! I did have some folx go crazy when I ended one thread and started another one to officially announce where I was going. (Remember that, Jill??):)

[Jill1228]

Yeah, I almost flew to Texas to give you a Texas sized beat down! :p

MsHoole, if your paperwork was approved and you got the info from the main office, then i would be shouting it from the rooftops

Stop being a tease! :p

Are you worried about your law studies? I know you said you were taking a lot of classes and I would think being on a business trip would cause you to miss a lot of them.

ETA: Which school are you initiating at? I think a girl I went to camp with is an ASA at one of the Chicago schools.

[pinkyphimu]

congratulations!!!! i am so excited for you! my aunt is an asa and i have read her pheonix ever since i was a little girl and didn't even know what those funny letters were!

I have worked out a schedule with my law professors so that I can take care of my business trips and still attend my classes....They have transfered the work that I am suppose to be doing in Chicago to University of Houston College of Law. When I am finished with my business trip I will take my studies back up North.

I I believe it with be Northern but please do not quote me on that, I just know that most of the Chapter that I am joining went to Northern and I believe that, they will have be initate there.

Forgive me if i'm just confused, how does this comply with the ABA requirement of 80% attendence at all classes?

Even part time law studies (while my school does not offer a part time/evening option, Duquesne Univ does and two of my coworkers are from there) are about 12 credits. I just do not see how this is possible. It doesn't matter how smart or organized you are, the ABA has requirements and so do schools. You can just leave one school for part of a semester and come back. It just doesn't work that way.

[mshoole]

To explain about my law school and Unviersity of Houston, they are "sister" schools. Menaing they work with each other becuase their schools are geared towards the working person. I am a full-time evening student. Meanign I have takign 12 semester hours per semester. And, you are correct about ABA and their 80% attendance requirment and I have technically attended 80% of my classes. Does that make since. I am allowed to attend Univeristy of Houston becuase of an agreement my school has with them.

Are you doing the ENTIRE semester there or just part of it? Is there a link on one of the school's websites that explains this? As a 3rd year (ugh, meeting about the bar in 45 minutes), I just don't understand how this would work and would love to see how the school explains it. Thanks :)

No, that doesn't make sense. My grandfather is a DePaul alumnus and they are recruiting me for law school and I've never heard about this. There's nothing about it on their website. In addition, I find it very odd that a Vincentian university would ally itself with a non-Catholic school, let alone a public one.

[kddani]

I looked at the U of Houston Law Center (not "College of Law")website... they don't have a full time evening program, only part time evening with 6-10 credits.

It also makes no sense that two schools so far away would have any kind of partnership. I really doubt they would have ANY students in your same situation. Law school just doesn't work that way.

I apologize to whoever reading this if it seems like GP and I are being b!tches about all of this, but this particular poster has been caught in MANY lies (some of you may not remember, she deleted a lot of posts, etc. but a lot are still there). And nothing adds up. I know how law schools work and the requirements, as i'm a 3rd year, and it just doesn't happen like this.

[deadbear80]

When I saw that this story is about the Law School at DePaul, I had to check it out. My Mom was JD'72 there and former faculty and we have many friends on the faculty still. I normally try very hard to bite my tongue on this board and not respond, but for once, I'm letting loose 100%:

There is NO WAY you could be a full-time evening student. DePaul only has part-time evening (I should know, my Mother used to teach Legal Writing there).
When I asked my Mom about the 'sister school' thing, her response: Not possible. No law school allows people to be enrolled in one school while taking classes at another UNLESS you're studying abroad. She has never heard of the 'sister' school with Houston and said that she was going to check with her friends who are tenured Professors to see if this is actually true. I let her read these posts and she was flabbergasted by this story.

I too am in law school right now (living through the hell that is 1L) and this story seems very weird to me.

While I'm ranting...another issue I have right now: GC has a function where you can edit your posts and view them before they get posted. PLEASE look at the way you're posting. Half of your sentences do not make sense, example:
Originally posted by mshoole
Meanign I have takign 12 semester hours per semester. COME ON! If you're really in Law School, I really hope that you're not turning in work like that to Professors. I know that we all have typos and make mistakes, but seriously.
Also, your 'location'--if you're from Chicago you should know that it's Illinois not Illinios.

/end rant because law school is frustrating enough without dealing with crap like this

She never explicitly said she was a DG. She posted on the DG secret sister thread saying she wanted to participate, not understanding that it was only for DGs.

To answer your question...[This is being fixed due to the simply fact that I didnt read the question that was written by kddani 9/24/04] No I am not doing the entire year in Houston just till I get back to Chicago [come this January I shall be back in Chicago]....

I apologize to those who have read my posts and see the mis-spellings, I will go back and "edit" my posts, for those who are so critical of that.

The great thing about schools (especially, law schools) most schools have this policy that is called a "visiting student" application, so that students "like me" can go to school finish their degree while making a life for them.


Thank you 33girl, for clearing that up. Acutally you can be a full-time evenign student becuase I take my classes at night 12 semester hours in all, I start at 330 in the afternoon and I go to 10 pm most nights.

No, not especially law schools. Law schools don't do this. You can't do this.

You can't start class at one school, go and take the class (who says they even have them?) at another school then go back to the original school and take the final. Profs have entirely different cirriculums and styles and what you learn.

Again, show me proof of ANY school that does this?

Why are you bullsh!ting people who ARE in law school and who DO know about this sort of thing?

[valkyrie]

What do you mean? My law school had so many sister schools they formed a sorority and it was so neat! I'd drive my silver Grand Cherokee to different law schools all around the country, so I learned civil procedure from 12 different professors, and then I had them all become alumni initiates of my sorority even though some of them were men they made an exception because we're all united by our love of the law. OMGWTFBBQ.

[wrigley]

I have several relatives who are alumni of DePaul. I'm unaware on this visiting school program.

If she was accepted by DePaul as a transfer student that's a possibility with the requirements posted here.

http://www.law.depaul.edu/prospective_students/transfer_students.asp

The only sister school programs I found were for study abroad programs in Ireland or China. As posted here.

http://www.law.depaul.edu/academic_programs/

[kddani]

<------ waiting to see what magical answer is given next.

Maybe it's time to blame the roommate again,

[mshoole]

Excuse me as I say WTF.....kddani........There is no roommate answer with this one....Nice try though......I can only offer you this as proof, because I did have class last night and my professor .......said if you would like to ask her about the 'visiting program' b/w Depaul and University of Houston you can.....she said I could give her name and number out to all who would like to talk about this....I explained that people that I talked to on a some what infrequent basis did not believe me when I said I was doing a visiting student study program. Oh, and by the way....Law Schools/College of Law/Law Center do this just like all other schools. To prove this too you I would like you to go to University of Houston website (downtown, not the main campus), go to apps and look for the visting student application.....at Depaul I know you can do this as well, becuase when I was doing my undergrad work I took classes at Depaul before I transfered there, that is acutally how i decided on which type of schools to apply to when it came to picking a law school.

In other questions you would like to ask me you can pm me and do it.

I fly home tonight for a family gathering and will have infrequent access to email until I get back....

I disagree - our good friend went to CUNY Law for 1st and 3rd year, he studied as a visiting student at FSU-Law for year 2. This is actually quite common, as I've found out. Unfortunately, FSU messed up his credit hours and he ended up having to stay at CUNY for a semester longer than anticipated, but it doesn't matter - he passed the FL bar with flying colors, did a stint in the PD's office and is now in private practice. He is also an R.N. and a certified Microsoft guy. And a pilot. We fear he has ADD, LOL.

My husband's cousin was a NY Law and had gotten invited to do year 2 at some Ivy League school (forget which one) and turned it down because she didn't want to be separated from her DH. Turns out she should have gone since they divorced shortly after she graduated (summa cum laude, I might add). :D

[kddani]

PenguinTrax- the situation you talk about is different- in that case the person was doing an entire year.

She is only doing PART of a semester. heck, i don't even think you can do part of a semester during undergrad like that

[kddani]

Again mshoole, provide me with a website link to something at ANY law school that says you can go to another one, 1000 miles a way at least, for just PART of a semester. Hell, i'd be interested in seeing it just for a undergraduate school. A semester or a year, yes, but for PART of a semester?

I find it hilarious that you would discuss this with a professor...

Sure you'll give me the prof's name and number... it would probably just be your number ;)

Plus the professors don't really have much of a role in this sort of thing... it's the admissions offices and the deans.

[valkyrie]

I don't see a visiting student application on the applications web site (http://www.dt.uh.edu/admissions/application.htm). That's not to say it doesn't exist somewhere, but it's not where you said it would be.

Mshoole, I'm not trying to flame you or anything, but since you've been posting on GC you've said many things that don't make sense. First there was the odd thread in the Tri Sigma forum (http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46612), where you posted that you're 25 and trying to become a Tri Sigma, but then after some drama with your "roommate" who came on and posted as you, somehow that process came to an end -- even though just days after "giving up" on Tri Sigma, you posted that you received a bid.

Then in the AI age thread (http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&postid=850249#post850249) you posted that you're 22, so somehow between February of this year and now, you've become three years younger, which is really miraculous.

Your employment history is also interesting, and it's amazing you have time to pursue alumnae initiation at all. You've posted that you work for Cold Stone Creamery (http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&postid=697379#post697379), and are a substitute teacher. You're also working for a paramedic/firefighting group (http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&postid=706782#post706782) chasing tornadoes. On top of all this, you were taking a criminal justice class (http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&postid=707117#post707117), and at some point were also getting a master's degree (http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&postid=733211#post733211) and looking to pursue AI in California. Now, you're in Chicago attending DePaul University's law school and are also in Houston attending the University of Houston's law school through a "sister schools" program that nobody has ever heard of and that isn't mentioned on DePaul's website, because you're also traveling on business -- is this teaching, tornado chasing or Cold Stone Creamery business? Oh, and let's not forget that you're engaged even though nobody proposed (http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49492).

Seriously, I'm not trying to tear you apart at all, but this hasn't been sitting right with me for a long time and I think that many of us don't think it makes any sense.

ETA: The University of Houston downtown doesn't have a law school (http://www.dt.uh.edu/academic.htm).

[OrigamiTulip]

She also has lied about membership in other GLOs and posted under multiple usernames.

[ZTAngel]

Yes, multiple usernames that all seem to contradict one another and talk to each other. Legacy9782 or Sigma@Heart, anyone? They've somehow come up having the same IP address as you. I suppose this is your roommate, too.

[valkyrie]

They could start their own chapter of Mu Pi, the sorority for multiple personalities. ;)

[WCUgirl]

Could this person be the same person as mullet?

[adduncan]

This could be cleared up really quick if someone from ASA could confirm her pursuit. Does anyone know someone who was involved? Alum chapter? Anyone handling paperwork? Nat'l office at any level?

If so, these questions and doubts would die on the spot.

--add

[mshoole]

Okay lets start from the beginning.

Where does it say at all that I am those other names? Please explain that to me. Also, you must have some of an idea on how ip adresses work. I know that if you are on a server people will have the same ip address, and I can honestly say yes I do who legacy9782 is.

For teh work employment issue, is it difficult to believe that someone acutally can work more than one job? Can quit more than one job and then decide to go back to school?

Also, Yes, I was going to go to California but if you have read anythign about me you will understand that I am no longer engaged. Things did not work out.

Chasing Tornadoes is a past-time hobbie that only takes place during Tornado season. Wait Tornadoes dont happen year round do they??? OR did I make that up as well.

I believe I have admitted guilt in letting someone else use my name. I do not understand how I can continue to be punished for a wrong doing, that i will announce once again so everyone who reads this understands I ADMIT THAT I WAS WRONG FOR LETTING SOMEONE USE MY NAME...I AM VERY SORRY AND PROMISE NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN! . Does that satisfy that?

Okay now on to the school issue. I Apologize the word that I was looking for that I kept using Visting for is Transient. IF you would like to look at thier website it is www.uh.edu/ Then I hope you can figure from their how to find the requirments for "visiting/Transient" student.

In the state of Illinois to be a sub in the school district you must have a subbing certificate and a bachelors degree. I dont see how that is confusing. You can even look that up on the states website, if you do not trust me on that.

Why would I need to join another "sorority" when I have been given my date and time with another chapter?

By the way, please let me explain about work. There is this thing called Business Trips, which means I have to travel. I just happen to be in Houston Texas for work, I decided that since I have to here longer than a week, why not continue my education (but I had already been accepted) to Depaul (I really wanted to go there), so I talked to a dean with Depaul and a Dean with UH and went from there.

Next, lets get this straight. Every school will call things different. Some can call it Law School, some can call it College of Law, some call it the "Law Center" Some call it the school of Justice. Either way if they are ABA approved then it does not matter what you will call them.

I have taken many criminal justice classes through-out my college experience what does that have to do with me and ASA.

Is there anyone else who has been reading these posts that wants to bring something else up. Oh and kddani here is your website that explains about being a visiting law school student and taking classes. And one more thing, I never said that I was leaving in the middle of a semester please show me where I said that, and I will apologize. But, if you assumed something then you need to understand that when you assume you have the opportunity to make an a__ of yourself.

TO: kddani

What criteria must be met to be considered a transfer or visiting student?

Normally, after the completion of the first-year of law school or 30 semester hours, a student can be considered for transfer. If a transfer student is currently in classes, we cannot make a decision on transferability until we receive a transcript with all classes and grades indicated. Most times decisions on transfer students are not made until summer for admission in the fall. Mid-year transfer is a possibility, but applicants should consult the Office of Admission & Financial Aid about their options. Transferability of credits is evaluated after admission has been determined by the College of Law.

A visiting student is requesting to take courses at our institution, but intends to apply those credits to the law degree they are earning at another law school.

Note the above, this is the post in which you say ".No I am not doing the entire semester in Houston just till I get back to Chicago...."

You said you are NOT doing the entire semester.

I'm not going to surf the whole UH website. Right when you first started this saying you're going there part time, I checked, no where on the law school website have I seen anything about visiting/transfer (transient???? are you a vagrant?) students for only PART of the semester. So I have checked, and don't believe you. Again, show me proof.

Again, explain to me how the hell this works with finals, etc.

One thing for you though, you'd a good storyteller

ETA: your link doesn't work (http://law.uh.edu/go.transfer_or_visiting) and even if it did it wouldn't be relevant. I directly asked you if you were there for the whole semester or not and you said NO!

[mshoole]

And, I said that if I was found wrong then I would apologize...But just to help you out with something. I apologize when I answered that question I didnt read it I just said no. Now that I have gone back you will see, that I have changed it, put a note in there saying that I am talking about the year not the semester.) Hope this clears up some misunderstanding.

You asked me to show you proof. I did. If you choose not to see it for yourself, then to each is his own. Also, I am what they consider a Transient: (a person who is passing or stopping by for a short period of time, just in case you needed a definition). No I am not vagrant. Clever and cute, BUT NO.

Anyway, kddani I wish you the best of luck this weekend and I hope to be able to talk to you on better grounds next week, but for me I am out of here, I have to get going, I am goign back home for the weekend.

MS

[GeekyPenguin]

I swear if this lady actually goes to DePaul then I am sending back the fee waiver and being all "Sorry no thanks."

[kddani]

Have a safe trip, mshoole.

I hope that your writing for law school and whatever job you have is more clear and accurate than what you write on here. You do this kind of stuff in the practice of law and you'll get disbarred in no time :) Perhaps you should use this as a practice in keeping your facts straight and being clear in your writing.

In any event, have a good weekend with your family. :) Wish I could see mine more often (they're only 15 minutes away) but I just don't have the time with school and work. :(

If you want to spar and throw punches, then PM each other and not do it on Alum Site.

Much more of this and LXAAlum can lock it or delete it if he has time.

If not I just might.:o

And you're just a shining example of what it means to be a mod, aren't you, Tom?

This is one of the reasons why I feel there should be an additional Alumni Forum mod. :rolleyes: Someone who can provide a sane, balanced, and unbiased opinion.

Deleting this thread will do nothing but piss off a lot of people, especially sisters of the org who are trying to determine if this whack job is legit.

Just for your edification miss OTW, your sh*t is uncalled for and your little snide remark.

If you have read anything, I was requested to lock or delete this along with LXAAlum.

I was setting guide lines for and before doing this.

Now if you do not mind, climb off and go along with your business else where! That is if you do not mind to much.:rolleyes:

TIT for TAT KITTY CAT:confused:

Notice, I have not deleted your little slurish remark.

I have not or has LXAAlum deleted this either as of yet. Not Just for the reason that you got your claws out for.

Tom, if somebody is misrepresenting herself on GC, I think it's everyone's business. As a member of an NPC sorority and an alumna initiate, I think it's important that members of organizations really, really REALLY get to know potential alumnae members to make sure that they're fabulous women who are going to be assets to our sororities. Sometimes I worry that as more and more people start to seek out alumnae initiation, there will be those who are not appropriate candidates, and I for one am not afraid to say so rather than just blindly supporting everyone who posts on GC saying she wants to be an alumna initiate. If someone is posting on GC and saying things that don't make sense, I see no problem in pointing it out -- I'd certainly appreciate it if someone who came off as dishonest decided to pursue alumna initiation with my organization and a GCer pointed it out to us.

FWIW, I've asked for the thread to be temporarily locked, not because I don't believe in questioning people, but because my sorority is involved and I feel like I'm being dragged through the mud because I can't come up with an instant clarification.

I never, ever asked for it to be deleted, and I'll be quite irked if it is.

valkeryie,

I could not agree with you more. That is one reason the thread is not closed.

This is supposed to be a site whereby Greeks Help other Greeks.

But there will always be whack jobs out there who try to disrupt the balance.

"If" a person is found out then prove it or disprove it.

In this situateion all I have seen is ifs and maybes. Accusations are like ass wholes (OOPS RECTUMS), everybody has one. It just seems a few have more than one.

There are 9-10 orfaces in the human body depending on the gender, some talk crap out of more than one:(

If this person is truely lieing then Dump on Her, if she is not then, some of The Witches of East/West GC should love to have a Crow dinner.

I will be more than happy to buy!;)

Next, any unhappy GCer about posting on AI, as Being a Possible PNAI.
