Lots of questions! :)

[laura.lynn]

Im new with LOTS of questions!

Background on me: I am 28 years old attending a community college to get my Associates degree in business. After I complete this, I will be transffering to University of Houston- Clear Lake, to get my bachelors degree in marketing.

It took me nearly ten years out of high school to finally get to college. I am holding a 4.0 GPA and may even take the LSATS to possibly attend law school when all is said and done. I am a very driven person, and if I want something I typically go for it! I am also a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

I have always wanted to be a member of a sorority, the friendship (sisterhood), and community service really stand out as a wonderful purpose to join one. Of course at the same time, I never imagined it would take me to the age of 28 to be in a place where I could join one. I have many questions!

1. Am I too old? I dont want to join a sorority for the parties and games. I wish to join one for the sisterhood and community service. I am aware that a majority of the group will be younger than me, perhaps I could be useful in a way as a leader or story of "what not to do."

2. There seems to be only one sorority on campus at U of H - Clear Lake, it was apparently started last year and its showing as a multi-cultural sorority. Does that mean that because im white, I would not be eligible?

3. If I am not eligible for the multi-cultural sorority. What is involved in starting a chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi or another sorority that is also Panhellenic? (Please be specific)

4. Do all sororites require people to live in a house with all the other girls? I have a fiance, and no children, but we have our own home, and I wouldnt want to move out of it.


I know I have a lot of questions, and most people with this many questions would just say, "screw it," but I am very serious about wanting to be involved in greek life. Its in my heart and mind, and I have to make it happen.
