I just want to quote this because it's advice we often overlook. Asking the MEN is just as important as asking the women.

(and hopefully you didn't go to a Catholic school)

I think she's thinking that Catholic school means all nuns, no men, no sorority women as teachers. That, or the fact that not all Catholic school require their teachers to have a college degree.

But Catholic school =/= mandatory segregation of girls and boys. There are definitely schools I know of that were co-ed.

The first part. I don't think many nuns/priests were in sororities and fraternities.

In all of my life, I have never heard of such, but I guess they may exist somewhere.

You'd be surprised especially if they did not take Holy Orders until a bit later. Our current associate pastor is a Pi Kappa Alpha.

Indeed, I am surprised!

One more thing to add, here. A good number of sorority alumnae have no idea what a rec is or how to write one, and it wouldn't surprise me if you encounter that in a less-greek area. Someone wiser than I can perhaps throw out some ideas on how to address that?
