Thank you for the replies and the welcome! I never thought I would ever be a sorority sister...our college had no Greek life and was a small Christian women's school. fast forward 25 years later and my daughter's friend wanted someone to attend rush with her. I highly encouraged her to at least TRY the process I never got to and to her surprise she liked 3 of the houses and was asked back at the very end to two. Alpha Xi was her top bid and her theirs which made her (and mom!) ecstatic. she'd never considered a sorority until her friend asked (her friend didn't get a bid but may try again next year we hope) and now she's so happy meeting girls she never knew before who she has had so much fun with.
She and her chapter asked me if I would join to help as a alum since they are still fairly new and I was beyond honored. I had heard a few bad things about sorority when I was in college but not one of the stereotypes so far I've seen was true of the sisters I saw interacting with my daughter. I'm proud she's an Alpha Xi and even more to join her! I hope I can help with corporate skills like resumes, interviewing skills, anything I can do for the girls graduating to help them in the business world as I have an excellent job and want to see them succeed. (I plan to ask in the other forum what I can do to help the chapter grow and to help the collegiates? can a non-college member help them grow or recruit really?)
Anyway, thank you for the insight, and I think I will get my own simple one to start but I hope to "rescue" one and cherish it for my daughter and her daughters one day too
