Here is an org that one of my dearly departed SGRho sorors was a member, Iota Phi Lambda. I really don't know much about it, other than the little I knew from her. It is an AfAm business-woman's sorority. AFAIK, it is non-college based, but you may need to have a degree (BA/BS) to be a member.

I got straight to the point with what I was asking for. I started recieving insults because all i stated was i wasnt looking for anybody to praise me but i felt it was a little off topic as to why people were asking me about my education. If i would have gotten straight forward replies you guys wouldnt have had to notice the defensive side of me. I can ask people to pm me as i please especially since whatever i post i seem to get an ignorant response. you guys have nothing better to do with your lives but taunt people and thats not cool at all.

It was the way you asked, and how you responded when we asked for more detailed information about you. No one is trying to attack you, but you seem to be a bit 'rough around the edges', not very polished.
I've been on this board a long time. I've seen aspirants achieve their greek org of choice because they came here humble and ready to learn. I've also seen aspirants crash and burn and not achieve membership based on their rude behavior. You are seriously leaning towards the latter.
I get that your desire is strong, you just need to learn how to ask and LISTEN!!! (Or, read in this case
)

My previous financial situation, my past college experiences, or anything of that sort has nothing to do with what im askinf for now. Thats why i asked SigmaDiva to pm me, she seems to be more content then the rest of you all, maybe if i explain to her what im looking for she will help and not criticize me

Actually it does, a great deal!!! With the NPHC, we don't openly speak at all about membership selection as compared to the NPC, but the same basic advice applies: you must find the org/chapter that is the best fit for you.
Your financial situation is important to know, because as a GLO member you will be expected to not only pay annual dues, which can be in the thousands, but also financially support other programs sponsored by the org/chapter. To be a member in good standing costs money. Greek membership is not cheap!
Your past college experience is important also because it can be used as a strong indicator of achieving goals and following through on commitments.
Greek membership is purely voluntary. Our orgs are only as strong as it's members. No one wants to be part of a sagging, sorry group. We all want to know that each of us can pull our own weight. That is why character presentation is so important. If all we had to go by for you, DeltaAngel4life, is how you have presented yourself so far, then I would not recommend that you seek greek membership. You are not ready. I think that is what some have been trying to tell you in their own unique way.
And, I usually don't PM people. I like to keep as much stuff on the board, with the exception of some sorority business.
I wish you all the best in your quest.
