We had interviews with alums and had to write an essay.
I went to a college with no GLOs but went to a larger U for post-grad and was always interested in college sororities. A colleague of mine in grad school told me to ask about post-grad recruitment (she said 'rush' was verboten)? I never heard of that. Is it a real thing? I won't reveal the org. in case it's wrong info. But I love the histories behind your orgs. and think it's a really interesting concept.
I especially love the symbolism behind the flowers and colors. I love the book by Geri Laufer "Tussie Mussies" which reveals the medieval and rennaissance meanings behind many different flowers and how the combinations of these flowers contained hidden meanings.

Key Club and many of those high school service clubs are sponsored by civic clubs like the Kiwanis Int or Rotary Clubs. They also have college level equivalents so students can continue their involvement. At the college and university level, Key Club is known as Circle K.
There are also opportunities to be involved in sororities outside of college. NPC sororities are not the only type. Community sororities also offer sisterhood, ritual, and symbolism and have social and philanthropic activities. They just don't happen to be affiliated with a college. Examples are Beta Sigma Phi or Epsilon Sigma Alpha. Google the term "community sororities" and you should get several results.
