True enough AKA and "the others" (as AKA2D'91 so sweetly put it lol
) are businesses but we are SISTERHOODS and EXTENDED FAMILY first. You are (and we were when we didn't have our pearls) not only interested in the work we do, heck there are TONS of public service organizations out there. You're interested in BONDING with the women in the organization. One company does not fit all employees and one Sorority definetly does not fit all women. I mean think about it, don't you think if AKA stopped bringing in new members Delta, Zeta and Sigma would be on the alert for those who jumped ship, as it were? It's a small world out there. There are too many subjective aspects to becoming a member to get cocky just because you look good on paper.
Getting back to the original question. If I'm TRULY INTERESTED in my chosen organization, my only options are to wait until the moratorium is lifted
and I am deemed worthy or die a GDI (gosh darn individual).
