Twitter is NOT an appropriate venu to inquire about membership, period. And if members of your org of desire are now following you, I recommend you be VERY cautious with what you tweet about.

thank you VERY much. thats what i needed. lol

If you're referring to an NPHC fraternity, feel free to send me a PM. If not, can't help ya, partner.

Lol yeah man, honestly i didnt know that it was as serious as it is before i got to college. thats why now, im just trying to find out as muchhhh as possible before i make my decision you know?

On second thought, I'll post my response for everyone.

I don't think it's a major faux pas to ask the initial question privately on Twitter, but you really should have asked him in person first. I would advise any young man pursuing membership in a fraternity to show interest by (in order):

1) Attending the events, especially community service.

2) If there are no public events that you can ascertain (no website, no facebook fan page, no Twitter to follow for events), THEN find a member and ask him if there are any community service projects you can attend.

3) If you have a good personality, the guys will like you and ultimately share with you the information you need. Be mindful that not every organization is like this, so you may need to

4) Take one of the members to the side after a public event, tell them you've been enjoying yourself, and how might one go about pursuing membership.

It needs to be organic. It needs to be two men who are acquainted with each other having a natural conversation about it.

Many undergrads would not mind that you inquired via Twitter. Many would. I would avoid it. But now that the horse has left the barn, try to do as much of what I already said as possible.

Yeah, their events are about to start up soon, i only have info on one now but im sure that when i attend and actually meet the guys in person we'll get along because we already got somewhat acquainted on twitter, not related to the organization, just on a friendly level. and im confident that my personality is open enough to get more information. im attending their first event and they guys know that. thanks for the help guys. ima keep reading up on these forums and stuff to see what other info i dont know that everyone else seems to.. lol

But they don't even respond to your PMs via twitter.
