junior sorority does not = junior league

Hello. I'm looking into joining junior league as well. Can anyone share any personal experiences from the Dallas/Arlington TX leagues? I have been to both websites and will be moving to a city near Arlington but currently live in Dallas and wouldn't mind driving after I move. I have filled out the JL Dallas interest form and am awaiting a response. Follow up has not been done. The JL Arlington did not have an interest form on their website that I saw. At the earliest, I'll be joining in 2010; latest 2011. Thanks in advance for the advice.

I don't have personal experience, but I served on the board of a League I transferred into with a fellow transfer who came from the Dallas League. We shared stories a lot about our 'old Leagues' and she never had anything but glowing memories from Dallas. It always made me a bit jealous that I hadn't been in that kind of big, traditional, well-oiled-machine type of League. I think it's one of the biggest Leagues, if not *the* biggest.

I believe Arlington, while still a very good sized League, is probably much smaller. So I suspect the groups would have similar pros and cons as the giant chapters vs. the smaller chapters of sororities.

Don't know if this is remotely helpful, but I did want to reply and wish you the best of luck! JL is a wonderful experience, and I hope you have a lot of fun with it!

LOL I feel like I'm writing a recruitment story. Anyway JL Arlington replied with lightning speed to my email Monday the 17th and invited me to their provisional retreat scheduled for today. I went and loved it!!! There were some greeks there. I told them I was waiting to get bumped and they laughed. Anyway I could go on for days but I'm joining in 2009 instead of 2010! :D

Any provisionals have their retreat or orientation session yet? Mine is a week from Sunday...which also happens to be the first day of recruitment for the chapter I advise. That was fun to find out.

Our provisionals start doing stuff in the summer. They have some super
saturday's to learn about the league and to get to know their provisional group (to which they have meetings with that group as well). The rest of their super Saturday's are from September to February time frame (as they become "full" members in like March). Their bus tour is in like October and rummage is in February, with a bunch of other tiny things to complete in between.

Hello. I am getting set to join JL this fall. I am so excited...this has been thirteen years in the making:)

I joined the League about a year and a half ago. There's a lot of information to absorb (at times it felt like being a pledge again), but it's been a great experience!
