LouisaMay- I did go to a university with a large Greek system. Let's say I would run out of fingers and would have less than one foot worth of toes if I were to count them on my digits.
I am not shy. I am a pretty gutsy person. But I do fear rejection just like every other human being in this planet. I have no idea what nationals keep in their records- but I never got any bids or pledged.
And at first the philanthropy did not seem to stand out as much as a couple others which have more direct relevance to my life. However, now that I think about it, this philanthropy is very unique and does involve the main focus of this sorority (not in an obvious way, but it sure is intuitive). And this focus- which also showed in the kind of girls it got back in my undergrad campus- is what is attracting me to it the most.
SmartBlonde- Yup, that website is called Greek Info Pages. And I have gone to the official sites of these sororities.
I did investigate the website of the local chapter of the one I am interested in the most. The local chapter not only had a lot of activities, but the people in it seem very down to earth and friendly. They do have involvement with my undergrad school, but also many local activities.
Everyone- I plan on contacting the organization (nationals? local chapter?) after I return from vacation in late May. That way I can have some contact with them before fall rush starts- don't know how relevant that is. The new member program of the sorority I am interested in is rather lengthy- again, I do not know if it takes the same length for alumnae initiates. But I can handle it.
