It doesn't matter whether you're a bif or small sorority to use Robert's Rules. In fact, I would consider learning how to properly use RR as a major plus for being in a sorority! Your meetings will run much, much smoother.

Short story: We used Robert's Rules, but our meetings still went much too long - as long as 3 hours! When one of the Traveling Consultants visited, she was floored, and the next thing we knew, we had to have a time keeper at our meetings, to keep them under one hour. I would highly recommend this to any other sorority with a time problem!
