Is there a place for non-members to volunteer?

This sounds like a great idea. I haven't socialized much outside of my Beta chapter and the Beta Sigma Phi City Council, and the occasional alumni/collegiate event for Ambassadors since graduation, and I'd love to meet and work together with women my own age.

If you want to help out young university women, why not try the career center or mental health centers to volunteer as a mock interviewer or mentor of some kind?

There is a Career Studio on campus that I definitely plan to contact, as I think that they do allow for volunteers. Thank you for the suggestion.

Also, given your interest in the area, are you considering a career in college administration? It sounds like a job as a student activities coordinator or director of student life would be right up your alley. At some (many?) smaller schools, the Greek Life would fall under a more general director role, giving you the opportunity to get involved that you seem to be looking for.

It had been on my mind, and my Alma Mater has an educational leadership graduate program. I will look into that. :-)

Thank you so much for your suggestions.
