I do know for certain that you SHOULD not be able to join a group if you've already been INITIATED into another, your records stay for all time and eternity.
Also, yeah. I was defensive. It's not as if I'm the only person on here who gets defensive if her sorority/governing body is criticized. I tend to remember issues of what's considered esoteric, and what's considered hazing draw a few defensive posts (and quite a few rude emails, i might add).

AlphaChiGirl,
I apologize for some of the comments made about NPC sororities and lifetime commitments. That's a bridge all of us GLO's need to cross...
Your philanthropies that your organizations support seem to me are organizationed mainly by your collegiate members and although it may extend after graduation, I want to know if your alumni chapters actively initiate separate "programs" of philanthropy to fulfill a need in your communities?
I know for my Sorority, the only one I can speak on, several years ago, we instituted the "Cleveland Jobs Corps". In my own graduate chapter, we sit on the boards for several "Headstart" programs making sure the needs of these daycare centers are met in our communities.
Does your Sorority do similarly? Excuse for my ignorance I just want to know. Please don't feel offended.
