I know that that soror that helped me really drove home the fact that this organization was where I needed to be.

I understand that sometimes people just want to know how to become a part of an organization, but sometimes people who are interested in a Greek organization need to employ Tact and common sense in their conversation with members.
Most sorors I know have no problem with a person asking how one becomes a Sigma Gamma Rho, but we do have a problem with a person who will show up asking when the next line is when she has no community service and no record of genuine interest in our org. Even then, most of us would politely tell the person how she can learn more about what we do.
You will always have members of orgs who feel the need to make gladiators out of aspirants, but sometimes aspirants need to meet the rest of us half way. That doesn't mean kissing butt. It just means approaching members about the sorority with seriousness and respect. "When's the next line?" is not seriousness and respect.
