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 seen my, 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.

Lemme put it to you this way, since I personally have worked with both my Sorors Prayerfull and Steeltrap:
Firstly, are you a Godly woman? If you following in His footsteps, then why do you have worries?
How do you handle corporate communications in front of large groups of unknown people? Do you debate logically and fairly? Or do you take it personally? Do you present yourself in a mature matter at all times? How do you handle yourself in a corporate interactions?
The fact is, whereever you go, whatever you do is under close scrutiny... You must learn on the job or as you go. You must be aggressive in your pursuits, and mindful of your respect to your superiors... This idea is irrespective if you are interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. or trying to obtain an expensive corporate account...
So your behavior must show the utmost of womanliness, always... That is a fact--even in your written communications, even in chat rooms... All the D4 sororities compare notes, often... And your fear should lie where your presentation of yourself has come into play... And that comes from home training and your mother/grandmother telling you it... And sometimes you can learn it on your own and be successful in the D4 Sorority world, but I skerioussssly doubt it...
