anyway, this sounds interesting, i may consider it (though im on the young side). i will say that had i not become greek, i'd be way less inclined to join.

The projects are all different, depending on which community you live in, and their needs. Our Jr. League does projects like "Baby Basics" -- where necessities such as diapers, baby food, etc are collected and given to needy families.
Another on-going program is a girls teen-age half-way home. The women who worked on that one painted and redecorated the house. They are also giving the girls guidance in filling out college applications, raising money for prom dresses for them, teaching them how to use makeup... things that we took for granted, but these girls never learned.
There are many more, but this just gives you some examples of the diverse things the Jr. League does.
