Creating A Colony *HELP!!!*

If you are already in touch with grad members close to your school, then come right out and ask them how you can go about becoming a member and if chartering a chapter at your school is possible. They should have the answers you seek. When we say practice discretion, we mean don't go around telling everyone of your interest but how can you get anywhere, if you don't make your interest known to anyone in the sorority? Good Luck.

I spoke with one soror in the grad chapter. I made my interest known. She responded with, do you know ___________ (one of the girls that goes to my school that is a general member) and I said yes . Then she asked were we friends and I said no. Then she asked did I have a sponsor. I told her no. The conversation kind of ended there...

NPHC sorority members -- is it okay for people to use the word "soror" when they're not a member? Just curious.

I was thinking the same thing when I was writing it but I didn't know what else to call her. I guess when a spoke to an XYZ woman? Is that what you use on this chat? I am new to it. My apologies.

People make this mistake all the time when they are not aware of NPHC culture. The word "soror" is what sorority sisters use to refer to one another and only those in their sorority. If I am talking to a member of another sorority about her sorority sister, I will say "your soror...." but I will not call her soror because she is not my sorority sister.

I find it comical that once people learn of the word "soror," they forget that they can simply use the words "sister" or "member" to refer to sorority members. Hilarious!
