rushing/pledging service, departmental, and professional GLO's

[SAIsister]

I was just wondering how many people out there have rushed or pledged OTHER greek organizations? Like, honorary, professional, departmental, or service Greek letter organizations? For instance I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, a professional music fraternity for women(yes it's called a fraternity, not a sorority). There is also Tau Beta Sigma, a service organization for band members. And I know there are organizations in other departments and areas.

I was just wondering how many people out there are members of these types of organizations? To get some conversation going:

1)which organization are you a member of?
2)did you have to go through rush and a pledging period?
3)what are the colors/symbols/flowers/etc of your organization?
4)what is the purpose of your organization?
5)how many members in your chapter?
6)what do you do?

I will answer my questions:
1)Sigma Alpha Iota
2)yes, I had to go to a 2-day rush. Informal rush for one day, and then formal rush with the alumni. I had a pledging period of about 6-8 weeks, I think.
3)crimson and white are our colors; the red rose is our flower; and the pearl is our stone.
4)basically, to promote music not only in the school, but the community.
5)only about 10.
6)we have weekly meetings, ceremonies, rituals, etc just like the traditional sororities. We also have philantropies and fundraisers for our chapter.

Love and roses,
