I am a college student and I feel this year is the right time for me to express my interest in the BGLO that I have longed for since I was a little girl. However, recently, I have heard that the chapter at my school was "paper". I pray I am considered and if I am I do not want to just sign my name to join, I want to EARN my letters.

Now, my intentions are in no way to disrespect BGLOs, this prestigious organization, or the chapter on my campus, but I honestly know in my heart that I want to go through the same process (or most similar to) that of women in previous decades "underground pledging". This is very serious to me and you may say, "Why would you want to endure this?". Honestly, I believe in the tradition and culture of pledging into BGLOs and to know after I cross that I WORKED hard to be in this organization means so much to me. The emotion and passion behind it is unimaginable for me right now because I am not Greek, but I want that feeling after I cross.

I mentioned earlier, that I have heard the chapter at my school is "paper". I know that I want to join in UNDERGRAD ONLY because of the visions and goals that I have for this organization immediately after joining? Do you think that I have chance of being made by members of this organization, whether it be that I contact members of this organization that I know are made to visit during MIP, or any other suggestion/advice that you have? Is there anyone solution to my "paper" vs. "made" problem? If you do not want to post your answer to the public PLEASE email me at [redacted].
