I am turning 40 this year, and I am looking to add additional community service to my life. I am not only looking to serve young people, I am looking to serve a quality organization through volunteering. I enjoy working with college students, I like the idea of sisterhood, and I like philanthropy.

I'm Ivy League educated, professional, high GPA and involved in my community. I am also involved in my professional organizations.

I have no reason as to why I didn't rush in college, if anyone is going to ask.

I would like to serve a Greek organization, however I don't know anyone who is an alumna. I know that I need to be nominated for AI, but does anyone know if there is a "mentorship" program for people like me? Are any alums looking to mentor an initiate, or is that something alums tend to shy away from?

I know that this is an Internet forum, and I can tell you that I'm not an axe murderer until the cows come home, but I honestly am looking for a new community/philanthropic experience. I'm not looking to go to formals or parties.

I would appreciate honest, respectful dialogue. Thanks!!

Another way to add volunteer service would be by joining your local Junior League. I have been a member of Junior League for 5 years now and I absolutely love it. Alot of the members are greek, but just as many aren't. The AJLI (Association of Junior Leagues International) has a great website with tons of information about what Junior League is about and locations of Junior Leagues around the world.
