Sorority Dilemma, Need advice!

[Omwi13]

Hi everyone,

I am seeking advice and for someone to shine some light on my current situation. I researched and found several Christian sororities that interest me. I prefer not to say the names of any. I narrowed my choices down to 2 of them but more interested in the one. The first one is a non-collegiate sorority and the second one is for undergrad/grad's.

The dilemma is, that the first sorority is national but does not have a local chapter in FL where I am. If I am selected, then I would have to pledge E-Line (internet) and then start a new local chapter in my area. Going this route would be a lot of work to do and training portions that would come along with charting a local chapter, in which I was told by the regional director. Starting a local chapter on my own is optional, but I want the full experience.

The second sorority has already established a local chapter in my area and has a good number of members that are active. I like this sorority and would not have to start from scratch to charter a local one. I would also be at an advantage of being able to attend interest meetings and actual events in my area.

I want to join a local sorority that is already established in my area. I want to experience the pledging process and unite in sisterhood versus pledging an E-line chapter that does not have that advantage of meeting the members personally in the organization. I like both of the sororities but am not sure if choosing an E-line chapter is worth it, instead of choosing the other sorority that is already charted in my area.

Any good advice?? Sorry for the long message.
