I will continue the trend with a RESOUNDING
#2!!
WHY??
**inserting Novella's opinions**

...I couldn't have had an "organization of choice" without researching first. When you are
actively participating/contributing -- you should be in-the-process-of -OR- have
already gotten to know the history of your Organization of choice.
What I uncovered in research is one of the major criteria I used to choose which Organization I wanted to pursue Membership in...
I started out learning/researching the basics of everyone's history (the Sororities in the Divine 9). Then I
began the process of "beefing up" on the History which I identified-with/admired/was-impacted-by the most. Anyway, there is sooooo much History, and soooooo many ways to examine and re-examine the History as it continues to build... I want to eventually be an integral part of that History (well said searching).

... #1 was part of the means by which I chose an Organization... and #3 would be great -- but I won't deserve to do #3 without #2 via #1.

Does that make sense??
I know, I know, I am one loooong-winded sista'...
