1. Did you decide which organization prior to attending college/while in college/after college?
While in college.
2. How did you go about choosing your respective organization?
I did a lot of personal interviews with family members, high school teachers, and members on my campus. Well, interviews to me, conversations to them. 
I looked in books (fraternities, too, you never know), on the internet, magazines, everything. I devoured stuff about Greek life. I paid close attention to how orgs presented themselves. I paid attention to the members I came in contact with and how they treated people. I paid attention to how they carried themselves in public. I was all up in it, lol. I realized that Alpha Kappa Alpha was the one for me.
3. Who/What influenced you to become a member of XYZ?
Before making my decision, I thought that you had to lose your individuality to be in a sorority. There was a girl on my campus, and she was SO different to me. She was herself, no matter what, just like me, and we became friends. When she crossed into AKA, I realized that you could be in a sorority and still be who you are. Also, seeing elderly members of ALL organizations made me take it just that much more seriously. Remembering back to high school, and thinking of teachers who still displayed their pink and green pride. After a while, it just consumed me. I KNEW that Alpha Kappa Alpha was what I wanted.
4. Did the members/programs on your yard factor into your decision?
The members on my campus definitely factored into my decision. I listened to the stories of community service that was being performed, above and beyond what Wittenberg required for graduation. That impressed me a great deal, as well, because I began doing community service in high school. I didn't really know that other people were on it like that.
5. What did you do to make your interest known (all the details are not necessary....i.e., pariticipated in campus events; talked to individuals on campus; pledge club or etc.)
I talked to members on campus and went to informationals.
6. Were you approched by members of other organizations to be a member?
Yes, I was, an interest group, if that counts.
7. How did you handle that situation in question 6?
I politely told them that I wasn't interested.
8. Most memorable event after becoming XYZ?
Being able to say SOROR, referring to myself as Soror Monique (I still get a kick outta that, I can't lie, lol), meeting sorors and it seeming like you'd known each other since 1908, my first sorority meeting, singing the hymn (STILL LOVE THIS!!), my first service project, my first regional conference. It's only been 2 years, 5 months and 11 days 
, but I could go on and on. I think about a lot of stuff with fond memories.
9. Any advice to anyone pursuing membership?
Pursue it with your HEART. Keep in mind that life goes on beyond the organization, it's not everything. You are still a whole person without the organization, it won't make you. YOUR STUDIES COME PHIRST!!!! Community service is a necessary component; if it's not you, neither is a sorority or fraternity. Make sure you realize that it's a lifetime commitment of time, money, and hard work. Speaking for AKA, it's quite a SERIOUS MATTER!!
10.... If you could change anything about your road to greek life or road after greek life...what would it be? ( ...i.e, I would have pledged undergrad/I would have pledged earlier to have more time with my sands/ships/linesisters/ I would have stayed in contact with my linesisters moreso/been more involved on campus prior to becoming greek/I would have took time out to participate in a step show and etc)
I wouldn't change anything about the road TO Alpha Kappa Alpha, all of the experiences (both good and bad) has helped to shape who I am today. As for now that I'm in, I'd like to participate in a step show one day.
