How to Approach Others?

[BookishBabe]

I've requested a Friendly Venture kit from Beta Sigma Phi HQ, but until it gets here, can people give me some ideas about approaching people who would be good members? There are some great women in my graduate program who would make fantastic sisters, but I'm afraid that they'll think that the idea of a sorority is "corny" or "old-fashioned", or might think that because I'm a graduate student that I should have left sorority life behind me. I also have a good local friend who would be quite an asset, but I'm afraid she'll turn her nose up at the idea of joining a sorority too.

Any tips are greatly appreciated!
