If you want to be taken seriously on a written forum, you need to check your spelling and sentence structure.

Then, you need to be more specific about your questions if you want answers. Are you looking at NPC, NPHC, Multicultural, Service? The answers will vary widely based on which "kind" of Greek you hope to become.

Hi everyone,
To those persons who are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority, one of the first things that you must learn is discretion. Using discretion and exercising sound judgment regarding your interest in a specific organization is paramount to your consideration for membership.
Additionally, do your research regarding the aims of the organization in which you are interested, and become actively engaged in community service activities. You should align yourself with an organization that exemplifies the same ideals that you possess, and with whom you envision a lasting connection.
Do not join Greek organizations for prestige or popularity. Members who are already Greek can smell this ulterior motive a mile away.
I wish all prospective members much success in your pursuits, especially those seeking membership into the Divine Nine.
Dr. John E. Duncan
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.

Welcome to GreekChat! This is great advice for people interested in NPHC orgs. For many other fraternities and sororities, maybe not so much.
That's why the answers to any questions the OP may have are completely defendant on what kind of sorority she is interested in joining. While I suspect from the way she phrased her question that it's Divine 9, both for her sake and the sake of others who may read this thread, we want to be careful and clear about advice.
