ONE LOVE, Soror, One Love!!
To answer brownsugar's question,

I see what you saying about your sorority's interest seeing a lot of you all before they make a decision but do they also try to meet other sororities to see if they fit with others better? How does an interest know that your sorority is more "professional" if they don't get a chance to meet others the same way? Or do you find that most of your interest equally try to get to know other sororities?

I didn't actually say that Theta Nu Xi is "more professional" than other orgs. I said that we heavily
stress professionalism. Personally, I have found that - for the most part - Theta Nu Xi interests (who are not already in contact with/friends of Theta Nu Xi Sorors) are well educated about multicultural sororities and have done their research. Those who do not come prepared quickly find that Theta Nu Xi is not the place for them. It is very serious. There are other multicultural sororities out there that present themselves as professionals just as Theta Nu Xi does. When the interests find all of these sororities in their research, it is up to the interests themselves to make their own determination as to which organization is most in line with their own needs and drives.
It is not the responsibility of Theta Nu Xi to see to it that aspirants have made the right decision after extensive research. We expect women to approach us after that part of their work is complete.
Our National Board is also easy to contact with any questions or concerns. There are many ways to find out about Theta Nu Xi without necessarily knowing a Theta Woman personally. Aside from contacting National Board members, interests can find numerous articles about individual chapters as well as looking at the individual chapter sites for information on what's happening. As multicultural sororities grow, there will come a time when it is no longer necessary to make that leap of faith when approaching an organization. There is really nothing to be done about it at this point except to encourage interests to research, research, research.
