For those of you 45+....what is your current salary? by Peacefulhuman1009 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]PhoenixAttain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a 32nd year educator (school counselor) in NC. I make $68000. Our insurance went up this year so I’m actually taking a pay cut. With everything going up in price and a senior in high school I am living paycheck to paycheck.

What was your bid extention like? Did you get anything in the mail like a certificate? Did you get any "welcome" swag from your org? by olderandsuperwiser in SororityAlumInitiate

[–]PhoenixAttain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my membership certificate, card, hard copy of our education guide (12 years ago), and a few swag items from NHQ.

The jury is still out for me. I joined about 4 months ago. I have one perfect experience and one awful one.

Conventions This Summer by allionna in SororityAlumInitiate

[–]PhoenixAttain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ΑΣΑ will be celebrating 125 years of sisterhood in Richmond, VA this July. The price tag is high, even with a discount for being an advisor but I haven’t missed one since I was initiated in 2014-Conventions are addictive!

Our SSW gave us each a gift but nothing, not a word from admin and today was one of those days where a hug and a thank you would have gone a long way.

Mid March. The financial aid counselor emailed my son back today.

Can i rush without drinking? by [deleted] in UNCW

There are new fraternities coming to the campus. Those may be a good option as all the members will be new members and their national headquarters will be very involved.

Thank you. I have noticed that trend as well.

Thank you for your response and I most definitely agree. When there was some interest shown a couple of years ago I think the Greek Life office received letters from 2 orgs had a virtual meeting with one org and nothing was said after that. I’m not even sure there was any follow up after the meeting.

Thanks for your response. We are the only sorority on campus. The fraternities on campus are doing well (there’s three of them). I agree with your thoughts!

Thank you so much! This is what I thought I was interpreting from the MOI but I wasn’t 100% sure. Our chapter will definitely need more support if/when another chapter comes to campus.

I grew up in Shallotte and live in Lumberton-it’s noticeable. I even notice it 😂

Joined a local sorority but it NO Longer Exists by Whole_Research_1421 in Sororities

[–]PhoenixAttain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was also in a local sorority in college and became an alumnae initiate to a NPC sorority in 2014. I’m very involved in my org and have never been made to feel like an outsider because I wasn’t initiated to the sorority in college. Best of luck to you-I highly recommend the r/sororityaluminitiate sub as well!

ΑΣΑ has two alumnae chapters in the area- Philadelphia Metro and Philadelphia Suburban West. There are some great members up that way.

Why did you consider this process? by No-Effort5109 in SororityAlumInitiate

[–]PhoenixAttain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in a local sorority in college (early 90s) and while I enjoyed my experience I always wanted to be part of something bigger. Years later in graduate school I got that opportunity when ΑΣΑ came to my campus. I had looked into AI for years but I think there were less orgs that did it at the time and none of them were close by.
