1. Did you decide which organization prior to attending college/while in college/after college? Alpha Kappa Alpha is the only sorority I was exposed to growing up, but I still came to college with an open mind. So, in college, I guess.

2. How did you go about choosing your respective organization? Went to events for ALL the organizations and went with the one where my personality fit best.

3. Who/What influenced you to become a member of XYZ? Soror Mommy , various teachers througout my academic career, and most importantly sorors on my campus.

4. Did the members/programs on your yard factor into your decision? That's what sealed it.

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.) Attended as many events as possible, got to know sorors through class or other clubs on campus

6. Were you approched by members of other organizations to be a member? Yes.

7. How did you handle that situation in question 6?
Politely declined. Didn't get a lot of congrats from those folks when I crossed, but it's all good.

8. Most memorable event after becoming XYZ? EVERYTHING SO FAR. Seriously, our probate, homecoming, my first stepshow, strutting at my first party, my first Skee-Week, chairing my first event (Parent/Soror Luncheon), being able to call my LS's "soror", being able to SKEE-WEE, being able to take pictures throwing up pinkies and ivies, hearing " '06 " and being able to respond... there's just too many.

9. Any advice to anyone pursuing membership? Be yourself. Learn humility. Know when to talk and when not to. Find other interested ladies you can TRUST and network so you don't miss anything.

10.... If you could change anything about your road to greek life or road after greek life...what would it be? Wish I had more time to spend with my spec and 3 of my LS's that graduated in December... otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing.
