Finding lost Sisters

I'm going to echo what Senusret I said about Zabasearch.

I also like Yahoo's People Search.

Try going through your school's alumni office instead of your national HQ. Many people keep their address current through their alma mater even if they don't thru their GLO.

Are the alumni offices willing to give out that information? That idea has gone by me before, but I wasn't sure how easy it would be to obtain through those means.

It depends on the school. I went to Georgetown and although they are grateful when you give THEM info, they never provide anything in reverse. Their prime directive is to be the only university entity providing info to the alums.

I did this for a reunion (held near campus) and the only thing we were asked to do was let one of the guys from the Alumni Office come & speak at the dinner for 10 minutes. Honestly, it all depends on the person you talk to. Some schools are finally starting to realize that even if they aren't big on Greeks, many alums remember their Greek experience the most fondly and if they reconnect with their brothers and sisters, it'll give them a good feeling about the school (and make them more likely donors) as well.

That might actually work out really well, if they'll go for it. It will be our 20th anniversary this spring, and most of the ladies I am looking for are from the founding school
