No sorority for me!

What experience though? I don't get it. These are not NPHC groups that are organized on a grad chapter level and continue functioning well that way. These are essentially undergrad groups.

To give an example: I am a Kappa Sigma, if a male were working with my chapter, or for my chapter, and gave a lot of service or was an adviser it might seem appropriate to recomend him for special initiation.

Also, if I were in an Alumni Chapter and a male was hanging out a lot with us, socialized a great deal and took part in whatever projects we had, and brought up that they might want to join, we might possibly recomend him as a special intiate.

What you guys are talking about is someone calling me out of the blue and saying: "I always wanted to be in a faternity. I have never had anything to do with any chapter. I either didn't pledge as an undergrad or nobody wanted me, and I just thought I would check out what the requirements of your group are to join. OH, and I don't know any Kappa Sigmas either, but I did read an internet site about them and other fraternities. And if you can't let me in could you steer me in the direction of a fraternity that will? Because I just really want to be Greek, the letters don't matter that much."

I will say that the groups that require affiliation through a chapter are smarter and are more likely to get service from their alumnae initiates.

I completely agree.
