I am picking up a vibe that you might have missed the hint that most women who join through AI have some connection to the organization they join. The process is not in any way like a collegian going through formal recruitment.

"Can I ask about the process it would take to become one from each org or is that a bad idea as well? Is it because it's similar to membership selection? " This concerns me, because it appears that you are shopping for any org that would allow you to join immediately. That's not how it is supposed to work.

A cousin of mine is married to a retired naval officer. Her husband was the commander of a squadron. I know that both the officers wives and the enlisted wives had get togethers often and supported each other, especially when the husbands were at sea. My cousin's role as the commander's wife was similar to a sorority president, and these women definitely had a sisterhood, even though this was not a sorority. Isn't there something similar for you?

Hi FSUZeta. I know AI isnt similar to formal recruitment. I'm not "shopping" for orgs. If I dont feel like I'd fit in with the org or any other reason, I'm not going to try and join just to say I'm in an org. If it doesn't work out for the 3 orgs then it doesn't work out, but to me at least I tried.
As for the military yes. I'm in support groups and I'm friends with other wives. For me personally, talking about the military/being involved with only military related things all the time is tiring. It's nice to have friends who arent involved in the military at all.

I asked about not asking about things so I wouldn't come off as rude to the orgs because it's not my intention. I dont want to say one thing and its misconstrued as something different.

Are you only taking online courses? That is a little different than if you were physically going to college. That might be why #2 didn’t consider you an undergrad in the true sense of the word.

Also, not all sororities have chapters in all areas, and if you join group A in Texas and your hubby gets transferred to Vermont, you might find yourself with little or no prospects to connect with sisters that aren’t online.
