C'mon, you are STILL in college and already know you're trying to AI?
People kill me. AI is not like going shopping.

Well, I was going to post a comment re: this but I have changed my mind. This site isn't even worth the words I am typing.
Thanks to all who have been helpful.

Nice.
What needs to happen is some kind of rule get established that the word "pursue" can never be associatied with the term "AI". Together, they sound oxymoronic...

FWIW, from reading her other posts, her college does not have Greek life, so it's not like she rushed and got rejected from a sorority that she "dreamed of being in", picked the "Wrong one" etc etc.
LilacLove, if you do decide to approach a sorority for AI, they will want to know what you want out of membership other than participating in their national philanthropy. For example, membership in ADPi is not required to volunteer with and donate to the Ronald McDonald House.

LilacLove: If you want to help a philanthropy, contact the philanthropy/charity/institution, not the sorority. It is not the job of a sorority to coordinate the volunteer activities of nonmembers.

Before she edited, she had said that the only way to be involved with the philanthropy that she wanted to participate in was through the sorority. Unless she wants to be involved with XYZ Foundation, I don't see anything on the list that would REQUIRE you go through the sorority to participate in.

(c) got her heart set on a specific group that wouldn't pledge seniors like her last fall
What was it that kept her from joining greek life as a freshman (assuming (a) doesn't apply)?
Or maybe she just decided she would be a perfect XYZ last week?

Gah! And yeah, I hadn't read through all of her posts from other threads (namely, her post #1) that reveals exactly my question. Thanks.
