Is there a place for non-members to volunteer?

What is the motivation?

How would you present yourself to an organization? (I really would like to know, I'm not snarking.)

Also didn't you join Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi and Beta Sigma Phi? Aren't there opportunities with them?

I am an alumna of a colony of SAEPi. I haven't been able to do any of what I described in my previous posts for various reasons, much as I'd like to. There isn't a role for me to do so at the moment. So, I remain supportive from afar and am ready to assist if and when I am needed.

I answered the question about Beta Sigma Phi in my previous post.

I'd simply present myself as: I'm an alumna of the University, supportive of sorority life and want to help in any way that I can as a non-member.

That's all.

I'm confused about the colony statement. Is SAEPi already colonized on your campus or did you graduate before they got their charter? Were you initiated into the sisterhood? Also, Beta Sigma Phi does have some chapters on campuses. Check those out and see how you can get involved. Maybe instead of volunteering to help with Greek Life, you can volunteer at a local animal or homeless shelter. You can make a great impact on people without it having to be Greek-based. You could even wear your BSP letters to show that's what Beta Sigma Phi is all about!

I graduated before the colony was (hopefully will be) chartered. I was never initiated.

We do have Beta Sigma Phi collegiate chapters in other states, so I'll get into touch with them and see if I can lend any assistance.

I'd like to get involved again with volunteering at my local animal shelter, so I'll pursue that.

Still, I think you should probably consider stepping back from helping with Greek Life. Like I said, you can get really involved possibly with Beta Sigma Phi or other local shelters but, as someone who is not from NPC, NPHC, or others like that, wanting to help may not be as welcomed. I know you have good intentions but, it's not like you are an alumna from an NPC coming to a campus where her chapter is not represented and you want to help without bias regarding recruitment or something.

As far as helping a colony, I'm not sure that would be nearly as welcomed either. Who knows? The most I could think of is trying to work in a Greek Life office or as a house mom for one of the sororities or fraternities on the campus.
