How to Ask If Someone is Greek

[DubaiSis]

Adding to thetalady, if you know she went to a particular school, asking her if she knows anything about their Greek system would be an entree. And don't forget, Greeks aren't segregated. If you bring up the issue and she isn't Greek, she may still know women who can help.

I'm wondering if it might be to your benefit to make the awkward phone call now as opposed to waiting for "the near future." If you're talking about rush that is happening at an SEC school and it's happening in August, every day is critical. Many schools wanted the recs in before school let out.

One more possibility: troll your Mom's friend's Facebook page. Not all alumnae have "liked" their sorority, but if she has, then you can be pretty much certain.
