Membership Directory: Sorors, Please visit our National Website
 
Sorors,

The drive is on to get sorors' information in the updated directory which will be released later. Many sorors will receive information in the mail, but if you go to the website, in the members only section of course, you should find more information. Please pass this on to our inactive sorors as well.

:D

I got the one from my alma mater (NC A&T SU) about 6 weeks ago and was wondering when this would be coming. Hopefully I'll get my copy today!

Yippee! :D

I'm waiting on my ALUMNI directory. It cost MORE than the AKA directory. :o

UpPinkies 05-24-2004 04:50 PM

Goodness, I totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!!!

Taykimson 05-25-2004 05:54 PM

I haven't received mine yet...

prayerfull 05-25-2004 06:44 PM

I heard that they were shipping, but I have yet to receive mine. Perhaps it's because I'm out here on the west coast. I'll be looking out!!!

btb87 05-29-2004 05:54 PM

Okay, FINALLY got my copy today! It's so pretty!

I'm on page 48, right in the middle of the 1st column.

Happydaysf91 05-30-2004 10:42 PM

Got Mine...
 
I'm really 'loving' the color.....

If anyone ordered the 'disk'....let me know how it works. I just got the hardcover book again...

Only problem....MY chapter info is wrong. My initiating chapter is not included. Now Sorors will 'look me up'...and think I'm lying about when and where I was made. :(

serenity_24 05-30-2004 10:55 PM

Skee Wee Sorors!!!. It's been a minute.

I just had to jump in on this one though.

I absolutely LOVE my directory!! It is beautiful and full of great info. I sat there for hours reading the first few pages then going through the entire book looking for names of people I knew, people who were from my home town, people who were "initiated" at my chapter, and trying to see how many out there shared my first or last name. I mean I was going crazy when I got that book. I hope you got your info in there because I would have been hurt if I didn't see my name.

skeeliteful 06-01-2004 10:27 AM

I got mine on Saturday. Serenity, you're not alone. I was looking all through that book for people that I knew and made sure their info was correct;)

Taykimson 06-02-2004 12:58 AM

I received my CD today. It is very easy to use. For the previous directory I ordered the book which was nice.

Soror Happydays,

My current chapter information is wrong as well. I'm curious to know if the correct information is in the book. I called Harris Publishing twice to make sure it was right. However, most importantly, my current contact information is correct.

Harris Publishing did the Spelman College alumna directory as well and there were MANY jacked up entries. My stuff was correct, but I had many classmates that sent/called in correct information and it was wrong! This was my 3rd time ordering a Spelman directory from Harris, and the first time I noticed so many incorrect entries. Wonder if there is a problem at Harris? :confused: :confused:

PinkIvy 06-05-2004 02:00 PM

Sorors,

I got my book last week and I must say it is nice, my only problem is that I has seen several deceased members that I know of listed and they have been deceased for at least two years.

Harris publishing also did my highschool directory and my FAMU directory, so far I haven't seen any wrong information, but haven't made it to the end of any of the books.

prayerfull 06-05-2004 03:04 PM

I got mine about a week ago. I'm on page 704 - third column, fifth from the bottom. They got my info right, but my Soror-Mom, listed 10th from the bottom in the same column, has some incorrect information - initiating chapter isn't listed. Only the current chapter is there. Her grad school is wrong - should be USC. Plus, my name and my sister's name are listed on her entry as daughters, but our names are spelled wrong. I despise when people add an "a" or a "da" to the end of my name. Then, my sister, also a soror, is not listed in the biographical section. She is, however, listed under her initiating chapter - Alpha Gamma (UCLA) - but noted as a lost address. Her address hasn't changed in like 10 years, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

All in all, the book is quite nice.

Happydaysf91 06-06-2004 01:11 AM

It's Nice
 
Yes...the book is nice. However, you cannot 'totally' rely on it to verify creditials. I know I relied on it 'heavily' last time....if someone said that they were a Soror, I went to the book!

It's also very confusing....if a Soror goes 'inactive'.....but still turns in her information, they list that person under the last chapter they were affiliated with. I looked for some of my line sisters who I know are inactive, but were previously with a chapter. They weren't listed in the biographical section (some of them) and they weren't listed under our initiating chapter; however, they were listed under their last affiliating chapter.

As far as the deceased Sorors go....Were they active? That may be the reason they are still listed. Corporate does not know if a Soror is deceased unless someone notifies them of this.


What's quite baffling is the fact that my information was correct last time -- initiating chapter. However, this time...it's incorrect!

mystique1908 06-06-2004 01:20 PM

I have receieved mine. My information was correct, but my mother's information was messed up and she is highly upset. :(

The same company is also doing my alma mater's directory. Do they have a monopoly or something going on?

pretty edAKAted 06-06-2004 04:10 PM

I recieved mine about 2 weeks ago. I was shocked to find out this one girl, who says she crossed at FAMU, was not listed in the directory!

HMMMM!:eek:

Well, since there are mistakes in the book, I wouldn't be out there trying to find her and ask her "wassup". The book POSSIBLY could have made a mistake. All you have to do is ask for her FIRST financial card (to verify chapter) if you really do NOT believe her. :p :D

I have to agree. Slow your roll before you "question" anyone. My info is correct all throughout the book....except I'm not listed under my initiating chapter. :rolleyes:

AKA2D '91 06-07-2004 12:15 PM

I THINK you are listed under your initiating chapter only if there wasn't any record of your CURRENT information. I think those are sorors who have not been active in ANY form since initiation. :o I know my distant cousin is not listed under our initiating chapter. I don't think she has been active since she left college. :o However, once I meet her, maybe things will be different. ;) :D

mystique1908 06-08-2004 09:53 PM

I just received my CD-ROM in the mail today. Here's my info:

Dayum! I like that! I wish I would have gotten the -ROM.

I know a Soror Tara Williams. She lives in Dallas. :p :D

It is SO much fun to play with. I've been messing with it for about an hour now! LOL!

Interesting enough, I met another Soror Tara Williams, from Louisiana this past April at Regionals.

AKA2D '91 06-08-2004 10:46 PM

I BET it's probably the same soror. The soror I'm speaking of IS from Louisiana, but she lives in Dallas and is a teacher. :o

I saw her at RC for the first time in over 10 years. :o

mystique1908 06-08-2004 11:11 PM

This is what the CD-ROM menu looks like when you open the program:
