I am not sure if you all discussed this already because I do not frequent this section the days...
but
How would you feel if someone close to you maybe a non sibling, family member or friend, went through the process of joining your org yet never mention to you their interest?

they did good! LOL my peeps know better.. better not tell me, its bout to be on!
I would however like them to tell me or have me on their list for one of their big sister to contact me, so I could get them something. If not, I would still be okay with it.. I understand that. Silence is Golden.

LOLOL@ Fatal and Huey.
Yeah, I actually agree with you D...but maybe the reason is what Fatal and Huey are saying above.
Folks do get crazy family or not.
Any other responses?....or is this topic like...a no brainer or taboo or....
O---wants to see other answers too. lol

And to Fatal...silence is golden, but is it non-strategic--- as Damie is suggesting (please correct if wrong)?

Well, my first reaction would be: "Good idea that Southie was not in the loop".  However, if they felt that they needed to keep it a secret, for implied reasons above...whatever. Congratulations when all is said and done. |

I can understand a friend being hesitant to say something. They may have the fear that expressing interest to you may cause them to be at your beck and call as well (from a distance) for the duration of their process. I would have a harder time understanding an actual family member not expressing their interest to you though. That’s crazy.
Like D. Dash said, if you’re a family member pledging my Frat, and it’s made known to me, that can only be a bonus to you. Not that I’m gonna be there to completely hold your hand, but I will be there to encourage you to see it through AND let you know if everything is on the up and up based on what you tell me about your process.

This actually happened to me. I showed up to a probate (@ another school, same city) only to learn that one of my homies had pledged Sigma. I mean, I guess he was told to be discreet, so I understand why he didn't say anything. I still call him play-spec and have been nothing but supportive.
Now, I have another acquaintance who told me that she was interested, assuming that I would be her Zeta ace-in-the-hole. I wholeheartedly believe that she would not be an asset to my organization and given the opportunity, I would not blink before writing a letter to the chapter on her campus enumerating the reasons why I don't think they should select her. So, it cuts both ways.
I'd only truly be hurt if one of my little relatives completed their entire process and never told me (because I'd want to contribute to their success as a pledge in some way). Quite frankly, if they were online anywhere (and I mean anywhere) in this region, I would have occasion to know about it. Therefore, any surprises on my part indicate an affirmative cover-up. That would offend me.

* the family member or friend could be that crazy and extra person and they don't want to deal with that.
*the family member or friend could be a crappy member and the person doesn't want to associate themselves with them (guilty by association)
Looking at all of my BGLO friends I can only think of maybe 2 people that I wouldn't say anything to if I were interested in their org or already in the process of joining.
But everyone on OO is the model Greek so obviously none of this applies to yall, LOL.

There are reasons for not telling. If your family and or friends have made it plain that you will get a "process" from them too I can understand not telling forget that mess!
I have some die hards in my family they will get a phone call when I'm done just like everyone else.

I might have to get my cousin who is teaching ESL in Okinawa to translate that for me because I don't know any Japanese except where to find Shogun or Sumo's restaurant. As for my org, I am a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha. |
