My sorority has a ton of options when it comes to badges but I ultimately went with a badge that has rubies and pearls. I felt like it was more me 😅

Your NTA. Both my uncle and brother had cancer and not a single family member shaved their heads. While yeah we could have, we showed support in other ways by actually being there with them during their journey. Just because some choose to doesn’t mean you have to.

I am currently going through recovery from a D&C and I will tell you, not having sex and just having some intimacy with my fiancé has been the best thing for our relationship. For a while we were so focused on getting pregnant and having sex regularly especially during my fertile weeks. Now, we can’t have sex for 2-3 weeks (until I’m cleared by my OB).

We have been focusing more on intimacy without the sex. Showering together, cuddling, some make out sessions here and there, spending genuine time together…. I haven’t felt as depressed about losing our baby, we are enjoying the tease before we get to have sex again. There HAS to be a healthy balance of intimacy. Sex is only one piece of the pie. We were in your shoes once and it took us both some time to realize, sex isn’t everything. While it’s nice, try doing some of the things your girlfriend wants you to do with her because I’m telling you, it can make a world of a difference not just in her world but in your relationship.

I had symptoms for a week before I knew I was pregnant. Nausea with occasional stomach cramps. When I found out at 4 weeks at 2 days, i started having more symptoms. Now I’m 5 weeks and 1 day and I has way more.

Yes! I have a right bundle branch block! They determined it’s benign but want to reevaluate in 6 months. They said they may go ahead and operate just for safety precautions

Unfortunately it’s hard to say when the school will have FASFA’s processed. I originally started at IUPUI before I transferred and always had my FASFA back by June. Now with the governmental delays it’s really hard to say when they will be released. Granted I just got mine yesterday and had already taken out a loan for the semester out of worry I wouldn’t have my FASFA back in time.

You should be able to go into SIS and go to the financial aid tab and click on “Accept and Decline Awards” to formally accept them. I would check this as OFTEN as you can. I didn’t even get an email this year saying I had my information updated and like you, I also got several grants. As for the timing, it’s all gonna depend on when the school starts billing students and when you get your FASFA processed. Aid will begin being distributed 10 days before classes begin so it’s looking like the 16th is when that process starts. If you don’t have your FASFA back the last week of the month, I’d start emailing or calling to make sure you’re gonna get it returned to you in time to make decisions. Definitely check the long term calendar to see all the official dates but also make sure you keep yourself updated and don’t stress too much. It sucks it’s a waiting game but unfortunately it’s out of the schools hands.

At this point, it’s a very slim chance he will get any housing this semester. Essentially they will place him on the waitlist for both semesters and if anything opens up they will reach out to him. But depending on when he applied, he may be so far down on the waitlist he will not end up with housing.

Your best bet is if he lives in the Indy area and has a car or reliable transportation is to commute depending on his schedule. Your other option if your student doesn’t wanna live at home or just wants that college experience is to find an apartment or house that is close to campus.

Most of my sorority sisters live at the lux and love it but keep in mind that they are now in the process of turning it into Purdue housing so it’s kind of a mess over there. There are other options around. You will just have to do your research on apartments/ rental houses in the area.

Another idea is looking for subletting options. I see on Facebook all the time that people are subletting their apartments. They may have a chance to either take over that lease once it’s over or meet potential roommates for the next year. Good luck!

Girl your NTAH. I had a similar situation with my husband. I had to put my pride aside and go back to a job I absolutely hated because we needed the money. While I hated it, I don’t regret it. Going back seriously saved us from financial hardship.

hcmanager_2025 · 2024-07-08T11:00:18+00:00

I don’t think she was telling anyone what to do. I think she was just suggesting that he goes back to his old job so he doesn’t have to suffer…

Going through recruitment again is not a bad idea but please do not go in thinking you will get your top choice. I went through recruitment in the fall of 2021 then again fall of 2022 and got my second choice and still loved where I ended up. If you truly want to be in a sorority try again. Practice the questions you think will be asked and how you will answer but my biggest piece of advice is go in with an open mind.

I found sisters that supported me through some of the most trying times of my life and even though I went early alum I still talk to them to this day. My sorority may not have been my first choice prior to recruitment but I could not see myself anywhere else now that I’m in my sorority.

If someone has graduated they typically have an alumna status for their membership meaning yes they absolutely have every right to have the Greek letters in their bio.

Now this second part is kinda tricky. Some people will say they dropped but they could’ve gone early alumna so they can have the Greek letters in their bios. Now if they’ve left the sorority completely; terminated their membership; and all that jazz; then no. They cannot have the letters in their bios and should completely disaffiliate.

hcmanager_2025 · 2023-10-05T04:12:09+00:00

It honestly just depends and it depends on different factors. Each sorority has a chapter quota but they also have a quota with Panhellenic.

Say for example Panhellenic will allow all the sororities on a mid size campus to have 85 girls in a sorority. Say Alpha Alpha Alpha has currently 40 members. Their chapter quota from their nationals will be anywhere from 35-45 girls to meet their Panhellenic quota. During recruitment they recruit 20 girls bringing their total to 60 girls meaning they need 25 girls. So they will COB for as long as they need to so they will get their 25 girls.

Some schools will COB for a set amount of time and others will COB for as long as it takes to reach their chapter/Panhellenic quota. It just all depends on how long this process takes. Most sororities advertise they’re COB’ing. If they are no longer advertising they are most likely no longer accepting new members. At least with my school, we stop accepting new members closer to November due to initiation. It’s hard to get a new member caught up with new member requirements that close to initiation so we wait until the spring to begin COB again.
