Our sorority will consist of professional women (any race is welcome to join) who want to give back to there community by dedicating there time and effort. We have decided to make it a non collegiate sorority because we feel that a college education should not be required to develop a sisterhood and to give back. We have been working on putting this organization together for several weeks now and feel we are ready for recruitment. Only problem is we don't know what steps to take to get this project up and running. I'm asking for some advice on how we can start promotions and recruitments. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I'm kind of confused. How does a sorority that focuses on motherhood fulfill any of the requirements you mentioned in your earlier posts?

This, however, is a good point. I'm strongly leaning towards our OP being immature (hence the expectation of immediate responses) and a poor communicator about what she is looking for with a sorority.

Immature? No not at all! Although I never mentioned the fact that I was a mom, I put my children above all else. Sigma Beta Xi is a motherhood sorority but that is not what I was basing my sorority off of. They also promote education towards women who didn't or couldn't go to college. If you read my prior post this is what i said would be a focus point of my organization. The fact that they are a motherhood sorority gives it an extra spark. Also my expectation was not for an immediate response. While in the process of gathering information about other sororities I came upon there site (weeks ago) and sent an application of interest and still haven't received a reply.

The main focus of the sorority is not motherhood there main focus is community service. The founders of the sorority and the majority of its members are all mothers. The organizations they focus on, such as March of Dimes, is what basically got my attention. I am a mother of two young children. My first child was delivered by emergency c-section due to lack of oxygen and when I was pregnant with my second child I went into preterm labor at 26 weeks. Luckily I carried him full term. When I went on the website (weeks ago) and saw March of Dimes it caught my attention because my children would have been March of Dimes babys if not for my wonderful doctors.
