Clearly, I didn't ask for anything from anyone. I merely posted an opinion to a post. No disrespect intended, but did you read that much into my post to think that I wanted that kind of information?

Did I say I was struggling? Did I say I wanted any of "information regarding all of our history, rituals, procedures and rules. On behalf of my sorors here on GC, we are so sorry that this information hasn't been provided to you sooner. If you need further information about particular events, rushes and membership on your campus, I'm sure that my sorors here on GC can certainly answer all of your questions. After all, all of my sorors, internationally, have psychic connections - - 'ya know - - it's part of something we do in our rituals!!!"

I merely mentioned "membership-related" and you truly jumped the gun. I have read and researched information to the extent that information is available about Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. Maybe I shouldn't have said membership-related, so much as it maybe more proper protocol or etiquette and respect. True enough, each chapter, and individual may be different, which is why I said guidance, constructive criticism, or a different perspective. Moreover, if your perception was that I was needing some bit of "help" connecting on the undergraduate level, not so, this is a graduate membership pursuit.

Your is definitely a different perspective and not one that I expected from my post. So as not to any further confusion, I'll just ask my question and maybe someone will answer it....

The graduate chapter where I live is quite large. I have probably been formally introduced to somwhere between a quarter and a third of the women. However, I am unsure as to what proper etiquette dictates in this circumstance. Should I wait to be introduced or take it upon myself to complete introductions? The otherside to this, is because women have constantly seen me at events, some of the members have approached me. But, is it "bad" that I am not approaching many/any women? Is this something members notice? I dont want to seem standoffish or as if I think I am a shoe-in. Thsi is definitely not the case.
