September26,
Look at my signature and you will see I have been a Delta longer than some of my sorors on here have been born. Now I say that because I want you to reaed carefully what I am writing to you.

First, blackerican has given some excellent advice--heed it.

Second, I'll just make it plain. Sorors cannot respond to your emails of wanting to get to know them--that is policy not personal.

Third, you mention a friend who ALMOST joined and she had only been to one social. But you didn't tell us why she ALMOST joined. Could it be she was rejected because she did not participate in more activities, especially service activities?

Fourth, what happens with other organizations has nothing to do with what happens with Delta.

Fifth, your post also tells me that you still have quite a bit of research to do, and buying a book isn't going to do it alone. I got this perception when you said something about pursuing a grad chapter at another campus. You obviously do not know our structure. Have you visited our national website?

Lastly, please take CT4's advice about your writing and the use of ellipses. It gives the impression that you don't understand basic sentence structure. And if you write like that on an application it will not be seriously considered. Message boards are a good place to practice your written communications skills.

You asked for advice, and you received some good suggestions. It wasn't meant to be nasty or sarcastic. It was just honesty. You will need to learn to not be overly sensitive or take everyhing personally if you are going to be successful in functioning in any kind of group.

Good luck!
