I think you should start your research by reading the "Divine Nine" by Lawrence Ross, "Our Kind of People" I don't know the authors name and "In Seach of Sisterhood".
Each sorority was founded for different reasons, therefore we are not all alike.
It sounds to me that you need to do a lot of research and understand the concept of joining a historically black sorority. Since you don't have any interest it will probably be hard for you to understand.
Yes, a young lady can do community service on her own and most Sorors will tell you that they were heavily involved in community service prior to joining a sorority. However, I highly doubt that the bond of sisterhood can be as strong as those in a sorority.
I strongly suggest that you research each organizations history and purpose first. Once you have the basic concept of sororities then it will help you to understand the reasons why we made the choice to join such prestigious organizations.
Good Luck on your research!!!
