Can anyone help me?

I am seeking information about the culture surrounding the Black Greek letter organisations - unfortunately all of the chapters at my school are very small and it is difficult to contact their members - I did try to go through the intake of the particular sorority on which I had my heart set but I am afraid that my lack of knowledge of the culture surrounding BGLOs impacted my acceptance - I am not from the US and do not know much about the organizations save what is on their international websites and the information that I found was common on all the different school websites, I have tried every way I can to portray to these ladies that I am serious about their organization but I am not a very expressive person so I feel like I cannot make them see the way I feel - I am active in community service and have a good GPA and even started going to their events and helping with their community service once I realised that I wanted to be a part of their organization but it still hasn't happened I want the opportunity to join the organization but I feel like my chance will be up before I can show them how much it would mean to me.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions ,please dont tell me to give up this is something that I do want to become a part of.

i have a quick question...lets say you love ZPB right and some of the people who are representing them you love their personality and what they represent but they are all from different schools...so my problem is I want to pledge however I seem to get along or can communicate more effectively with other Zetas than those who are on my campus..is this a problem?? and if so should I wait to pledge in a graduate chapter or something. I just fell that I'm ready and having to wait to pledge because I can not relate to these girls on my campus is dumb.

You bumped a 3, almost 4 yr old thread for THIS???

Why don't you ask the Zetas that you are cool with, instead of asking a bunch of strangers? By the way, we don't answer membership questions here.

Good luck!

Methinks that's not the only thing around here that's dumb.
