Lightbulb Impressions

Hello, I am new here. I usually just read the messages but today I felt that it was necessary to post one of my own. I have been interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority ever since I was a little girl. However, I recently began (last year) attending some events and was surprised by the unfriendly attitudes of the sisters. I tried to start a conversation with several of the women present however, however I was given sidelong glances and basically treated like a lepar. Moreover, I was further discouraged when the sisters huddled into a corner and began whispering, laughing and pointing at the other interested women. Since then, I have noticed a utter lack of interest in or civility towards interested women. I don't understand why this chapter behaves as though they are not interested in new members and that they are too good to be friendly. I'm still interested in the organization as a whole, but I must say that I am somewhat disheartened by this chapters behavior. Could someone please respond with some advice as how I can deal with this problem. Also, would someone also please tell me why these women feel that they cannot be friendly.
Thanks,
Teresa2000
