Non-collegiate sororities: the list

[AGDAlum]

Now, You can be in a "college" sorority AND a non-collegiate one at the same time. Lots of our members were/are in two. But usually they are only active in one or the other-usually DTT. If they are ultra active in their NPC alumnae group they usually do not feel the need to join ours. PEO is not a greek lettered organization so I am not sure how they fit into all of this-I am assuming they wouldn't be considered a greek organization at all. But I could be wrong about that as I am not in PEO. [/B][/QUOTE]

Unless the organization's rules forbid it, you could join as many organizations as would invite you. Since most orgs want you to be a participating member, if you were known to belong to 4 groups already the 5th might pause before extending an invitation!

P.E.O. (always written with periods after the letters) was founded at Iowa Wesleyan University in 1869. The Original Seven had become fast friends during their college years. A chapter of I.C. Sorosis (now Pi Beta Phi) was chartered in December, 1868. Not all seven were invited to join I.C. and they refused to affiliate without their friends. So, they created "a society of their own," which was publicly announced to the campus on January 21, 1869. P.E.O. expansion took the community route as sisters graduated and wanted to perpetuate their sisterhood in the towns to which they moved. As the years passed the IWU rules for student orgs conflicted with the P.E.O. Constitution. After much deliberation, the collegiate members chose to become the Beta chapter of Alpha Xi Delta which was chartered on June 7, 1902.
