I did a search and found this post from a sisterfriend turned memberfriend and thought it might be helpful to the other SF on GC.

I too have been a seriously striving sisterfriend since 1991. I remember back then when the "rules" were:
1) You don't tell anyone, not
even your Mom which organization
you are/were interested in
AND
2) Anything you needed to know would
be told to you if you were invited
to the interest meeting/tea
The members would know you were
interested if you attended their
programs, etc.....
All of the information that was acquired was from searching the library for general information. The internet was not available. Everything else depended on (the interests/SF's) conduct, community service, grades, and other activities/hobbies....
Many times I have been a silent monitor but I have never forgotten what I have learned from back then

There is so much information available on the web but the best advice comes from the Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc....
1)Keep up the grades, community
service
2)Get to know and support the
members at your school or in your
area
3)Keep your eyes and ears open for
the informational
4)BE READY..........IF YOU ARE
SELECTED, THEN ALL WILL BE
REVEALED TO YOU IN TIME
All of the advice given by the members has and continues to be greatly appreciated
