HI

Thanks for your suggestions many of them I have already done. I have a 4-week process for membership which includes an informational, social, week of events, paperwork and interviews and orientation & induction. The girls are told at the informational that the group we are now, XYZ, is trying to affliate with a national organization...however I will not disclose any information about colonization and the time span until orientation in the final rounds of membership. This is to set me more at ease that they will be willing to stay the course.

There are neary chapters of this sorority but I can not join those chapters if I do not go to those schools and they are way too far to travel. My only option would be the grad chapter which is still based an hour away. The sisters from those nearby chapter have been VERY supportive of me and my endeavor. I talk to them almost daily. They often help me keep my eyes on the prize. I don't think it will be impossible to gain support from the multicultural greek community, but regardless they will not be open to expansion for a while.

I really thank you for your advice.
