They will love the fact that you are in a sorority, lol.

Are you a Law Student? I start Law School in September [5th to be exact] and there are VERY few Blacks, less than 10%, but I guess that's the "price you pay" for Tier 1. I didn't feel out of place at all inthe League. I was just excited to be in yet another organization so firmly committed to service. But then again, I guess I"m used to it, I was the only Black girl in my high school class.

I've been in lurker status for a minute! Now I'm coming out. I recently became a provisional for JLLA also. I joined so that I could meet some like minded women and jump in and do some work! Maybe I'll see you at the retreat on the 9th. Are you planning to go to the Starlight Arcade event?
