Alumnae involvement is a great part of my life and I would highly recommend it. And except for the snottypants comments above I think you will find several national GLO's who would love to have you. Every one has a website and I'm sure a way for you to ask questions about the process.

As far as what you do or do not know, I think it's completely unrealistic to expect her to know all the lingo, especially when the lingo changes over time and varies by campus and part of the country.

An "active" is a collegiate member who is actively participating in the college chapter. She is in college and in good standing with the chapter (grades, financial, etc.). This is as opposed to an alumna who is a member of the organization but not an active member of the college chapter. This is the group into which you would initiate. My sorority initiates alumnae into a special chapter, so you are not affiliated directly with a college chapter. But I think this varies widely by sorority.

Best of luck to you. Disregard the snarkyness. Unfortunately the reputation of sorority girls being mean and bitchy comes from real people and is just dumped on the rest of us.
