how exciting that you are interested in exploring the possibility of membership as a founding sister of sdt. i am the general advisor to our(currently) newest chapter of zeta tau alpha, at florida gulf coast university, so i can give you an alumna's perspective. you will have a lot of work to do as a founding member, because you are not only going to new member meetings to learn all about sdt, but you are also attending chapter meetings because the colony has to run itself similar to a business. but don't let that scare you away. there are loads of opportunity for fun and bonding with your sisters, socials with fraternities and other sororities and service projects that benefit your national philanthropy as well as local ones. and all sororities think that a members first obligation is to get good grades, so all your time won't be taken up with sorority stuff. as for housing, i am sure that sdt has plans and may even let you all know as you go thru their recruitment process. i know that the sisters of kappa tau chapter of zta would urge you to give it a shot. and like russ said, alumnae support will be crucial, but most sororities won't take the risk of colonizing if they don't have a good alumnae base in the area. i am sure that the sdt alumnae are just waiting for the start date to show all your pnm's how excited they are to be meeting you. i remember whitedaisy's postings as she went thru the colonization process with her sisters. you might do a search to find that thread: it could give you a little peak into what you might experience too. best of luck, and please let us know what you decide!! and GO NOLES!!!! lisa
