By interest I mean that we (the TIARA Group) have a semester of meetings to discuss fundraisers and community service, and also attend events to bond with each other and sisters from other chapters before we pledge. It's a sorority which is proud of its small numbers because of how close chapters are together. All ladies interested in MSU must be a TIARA for a semester before they start pledging. We held our first meeting last night, and an Executive Board was elected at that meeting. Our chapter should be established by March on my campus. We're really new, so it'll be about another week before we begin fundraising. We also can't participate in functions with other Greeks, since we're not officially a sorority (yet!). I just can't say that I'm a sister or a pledge because I'm not(yet!). That's basically all there is to it because we are independent from NPC and NPHC.
