Should a sorority be used for networking?

[Ch2tf]

As a member of an organization should you network within your organization, for sure. Should you decide to join JUST so you can network, nope. I feel like the networking opportunity is a privilege but not a reason to join. The missions and purposes of your organization, IMO come first. You join to serve the org, and consequently it will serve you. I can't stand when people "walk through the door" and their first question is "What can you do for me?" I'll tell a chick to kick rocks in half a second.

THIS. i say this to interests all the time, and even to members who need to hear it every so often - "your membership should be complimentary to everything else in your life, not supplementary."

I would hope my sorors have other things going on in life.

I think people forget that everything can be a network, outside formal establishments like greek life, the church. you can network at work, school, or wherever you fit into a community of like-minded individuals. If you se your next opportunity through the chick you see at the laundromat every other Saturday, go forth!
