We had a sister a few years ago who would have been forced at one time to go alum but after speaking with IHQ officials we were told that those rules no longer existed, for either Marriages or Babies... though the option to go alum is offered.

Good Luck Julie!

FYI, One of my pledge sisters was married and I think she was 25 when we were pledges. She is a great member. Not just while we were in school, but continously (since 1995

) . I hope the groups at your school can appreciate what an asset you can be to their orgs!

Juliebug, I called our EO to ask if we had a "no married women" rule, since there had been one in my chapter when I was an active.

Alpha Delta Pi had no policy against married women, but an individual chapter may take your marital status into consideration (realizing that your husband & family must come first).

So - it will be all the more interesting to see how Recruitment goes for you! Good luck!

Yeah, I think that'll be the biggest thing...chapter preferences! I wish that our organizations would remember that women's educational situations are not what they were in the late 1800's when most of our GLO's were formed! You know, older students at the very least! Just my thoughts...

I'm also surprised that organizations don't realize that older students are more and more common. In my state, high schools basically have four tracks - one for college, one for two-year college/transfer, one for vocational, and one for special needs populations. Many students are unable to get into/maintain the college track, and are then sent to the two-year programs. They encourage students to attend the community college for two years, then transfer to a university setting as a junior. I'm seeing more and more parents and students buy into this system due to the rising costs of four year colleges.

Have a great time with recruitment! One of my sorority sister's mom joined Alpha Delta Pi at Montevallo and LOVED it!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

I dont have much time to post, nor am i going to post all the details from the last 2 nights...

Everything went great... i loved all of the sororities except for one... but unforunately i got only ONE invitation back for tonights party and it was from DG. I liked DG, they were awesome, but they just werent for me and i hate that b/c they liked me at least enough to bring me back tonight. Plus i have decided to quit the whole process. I need to call my RC a little later and tell her that i wont be coming back. I would rather quit than be fired... if you think of it that way. I was told that my GPA wasnt high enough... and if i knew that it had to be a 3.2 for upperclassmen, then i wouldnt have gone through with rush at all. I was only like 4 points away from a 3.2.

I appreciate everyones support, guidance, and positive attitudes...

*hugs*

juliebug · #44 09-06-2003, 01:01 PM

thanks jill... i was thinking about COB... but we will see what happens.

Juliebug,
I'm sorry that you were cut so harshly...but are you absolutley sure that DG isn't the one for you?

I do agree that they should have made you aware about the GPA requirements that apply for upperclassmen.At UH we don't have certain requirments for upperclassmen,it is the same as any other freshmen and so on.

Again I am sorry but what about COBing? Have you ever considered it?Well, I hope everything works out in whatever decision you make.
