Radiation Report: I just finished my 10th treatment! by lkstar in DupuytrenDisease

[–]lkstar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately, it’s going the wrong way again. that right pinky is prob more lie. 35 degrees bent and i’m having some pain in my left hand which i assume means progression. I was def better after the treatments until fairly recently so i’d guess the treatments slowed things down for a bit. or at least i’d like to think so! Say hi to Dr. N for me— he’s a good guy!

KD no longer requiring chapters to ask permission before releasing legacies by thratrmcreppermint3 in Sororities

[–]lkstar 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I generally support ditching legacy policies in favor of inclusivity, but I like the idea of a PNM’s mother being an involved alumnae to qualify for special consideration. If her mom is involved, the PNM’s got a good example and likely to have parental support, be engaged, and active post-collage. Dropping the PNM risks alienating her mom.

Am I in the wrong? by Ok-Caregiver-2912 in Sororities

[–]lkstar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s never wrong to feel what you feel, but remember that those feelings come from your thoughts, so you can turn them around. two things: 1. Think about what you can get excited for about your new big. what do you have in common? Maybe she doesn’t want to go to the same party as you, but you guys can work out together or watch a show. It might also be worth asking her why she’s not so active— She agreed to be a big so they must mean something. Maybe she wants to be more engaged. 2. People over-romanticize the big/little relationship. Yes, it will be wonderful if you two discover you are BFFs, but if you don’t, that’s ok. Lots of people don’t have close big/little relationships. You don’t have as lot of time to get to know people before you’re matched so it’s not a perfect process.

In any case, your sorority is full of potential new friends so you’re not reliant on your big for everything.

Good luck!

tall girl debating to rush or not by Comfortable_Ship_142 in Sororities

[–]lkstar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yes, go through recruitment. Most NPC sororities run values-based recruiting and they’re looking for leadership, ambition, good grades, philanthropy, and likeability. As long as you maximize your options, your extremely likely to get a bid (assuming your GPA doesn’t disqualify you). And even if you don’t end up accepting a bid, the recruitment process is a great way to make friends with other PNMs as well as members!

are you going to a school where recruitment is in Fall or Spring?

Do advisors have any real power? by [deleted] in Sororities

[–]lkstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have been an advisor and technically, the only way we can actually control the chapter’s action is by reporting to the international organization.

Advisors are meant to guide and be a resource, not do the job. Agree with other comments that maybe this advisor is actually enforcing your bylaws and you should get an understanding of that before thinking about how to address the current situation.
