Can anyone help me?
 
I am seeking information about the culture surrounding the Black Greek letter organisations - unfortunately all of the chapters at my school are very small and it is difficult to contact their members - I did try to go through the intake of the particular sorority on which I had my heart set but I am afraid that my lack of knowledge of the culture surrounding BGLOs impacted my acceptance - I am not from the US and do not know much about the organizations save what is on their international websites and the information that I found was common on all the different school websites, I have tried every way I can to portray to these ladies that I am serious about their organization but I am not a very expressive person so I feel like I cannot make them see the way I feel - I am active in community service and have a good GPA and even started going to their events and helping with their community service once I realised that I wanted to be a part of their organization but it still hasn't happened I want the opportunity to join the organization but I feel like my chance will be up before I can show them how much it would mean to me.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions ,please dont tell me to give up this is something that I do want to become a part of.

Give up. It's not meant to be. Now what?

i have a quick question...lets say you love ZPB right :D and some of the people who are representing them you love their personality and what they represent but they are all from different schools...so my problem is I want to pledge however I seem to get along or can communicate more effectively with other Zetas than those who are on my campus..is this a problem?? and if so should I wait to pledge in a graduate chapter or something. I just fell that I'm ready and having to wait to pledge because I can not relate to these girls on my campus is dumb.

You bumped a 3, almost 4 yr old thread for THIS???

Why don't you ask the Zetas that you are cool with, instead of asking a bunch of strangers? By the way, we don't answer membership questions here.

Good luck!
