A tip:
"Soror" is a term that is used by the Divine 9 sororities and some multicultural sororities. You will not, at least in my experience, find it used among the 26 members of the National Panhellenic Council, including the three groups on your campus.
As for the Divine 9 sororities, it is my impression from statements on GreekChat that the members of those group do not view it as appropriate for anyone to refer to someone else as a "soror" unless both are members of the same sorority.

*On discretion: when I felt that I needed help I thought that an anonymous forum might be a way to ask people who don't know me for honest, open, direct advice. In order to get that type of advice I felt that I had to be very honest and open myself. It was not my intention to offend sensibilities.

It's not that your lack of discretion offended sensibilities really. It's that it took me, a guy in the South, two minutes tops to figure out where you go to school. You said that there are only 3 NPC sororities at your small private school in the Northeast; you told us which they were and said you " have become interested in a particularly older 'women's fraternity'" -- a term that only applies to two of the groups on your campus. "
Particularly older" suggests you're referring to the older of those groups. Then you described yourself enough that if anyone in any of the 3 NPC groups on your campus sees this thread -- it's naive and dangerous to assume they haven't -- there's absolutely nothing "anonymous" about your posts.
Your lack of discretion may have blown your chances for a successful recruitment.
