VandalSquirrel, I do have thick skin but that isn't the point. The reason I asked here in this forum was to get ideas. I have no plans, and never would, to just cold call a sorority. I was just looking for info and ideas. I've gotten many great suggestions here that weren't insulting. I have my own personal reasons for looking to a NPC sorority that I don't feel the need to go into in this forum. I have many friends and family who have been involved and wanted opinions before I went to them with questions. I am now looking into ways I may be able to volunteer at one of the two colleges in my city. The great thing, I've found, about greekchat is that I can ask a touchy question and get feed back from many wonderful people.
Just to address one thing which is why I didn't go greek in college. The college I attended had a large greek life but with that came $300+ dues that my parents would NOT pay. I was just wondering if there was an alternative since I couldn't while I was in school. Also I thought it might be a way to mentor or help young women that get lost during college years.
I again want to thank everyone for such great advice and ideas. The last few days have been very enlightening and helpful. I'll continue my search and, hopefully, find the group I am meant for.
