People often make the mistake of not observing an online community before jumping in and posting. Many of the GC regulars here are quite educated and it shows. We don't write as if we're texting and for the most part, we respect the rules of English grammar. Many here have also been greek for many years and you could learn a lot if you observe, read, and perform searches for questions that may have been answered in past threads. We come here to chat with eachother, not to constantly answer questions from non-greeks; hence the title of this site: Greekchat.

Now, just like someone else said, research the different orgs first, settle on the one you want to pursue, search their official national website for answers, and contact a local chapter to find out how you might pursue membership.

Just like in real work life, you are ALWAYS under scrutiny and ALWAYS being evaluated...

You can say what you want. You can think what you want. But this is the reality of the situation and you put it out there thinking it would NOT evaluated under close scrutiny without criticism?

If you write like this to us, what makes you think that you aren't writing in class? Regardless of being a mature student, you are still a reflection of your past experience and only have one shot to make an initial impression...

So, be positive, put your best foot forward, excel in all your classes, work in your area of interest or expertise.

Good luck and thank you.

Bless your heart. It's not a matter of proofreading what you wrote. It's a matter of trying to read and understand what you wrote. Your aversion to silly little things like periods make the task of trying to understand you unnecessarily challenging.

And I nominate rhoyaltempest for GCer of the month!
