My alumnae chapter would love to recommend a special initiate. If someone wanted to contact us about becoming a Zeta, we would be thrilled.

My pledge sister and I talked with a college friend about it, but she thought we were kidding. She didn't have the time or money to join in college but has always supported us and Zeta. She is even more supportive today because her mom is a breast cancer survivor. She has watched us raise funds for research and work with Komen for years. We're going to keep asking until she realizes we're serious and then give us an answer one way or another.

BTW...I am a very active alumna but was completely unaware of the Zeta policy that was posted here. That has not been my impression of our policy so the policy and actual practice may not necessarily be the same thing, like many things in life.

radioZTA, I am so glad that you posted and it's wonderful to hear you say that. I think a lot of nonGreek women would love the opportunity to initiate with a sorority that they've always held in high esteem, but perhaps are hesitant, or fear embarrassment or maybe they think that if you didn't initate in college, you can't initiate at all.

One thing that I wanted to mention is that one of our fellow Greek Chatters, GPhiBLtColonel had this to say about finding potential alumnae initiates :
The way our local Gamma Phi alumnae chapter works it here is we mentally consider our own personal circle of friends and then if we know someone who might be interested we tell them we'd like them to consider becoming a Gamma Phi alum initiate...and we take the process from there...
I think it is a great program!


I am sure that your friend would love to become a Zeta and I hope that she does! Please post back and let us know what happens with her. Thanks! If she is still not sure or if she's hesitant...just tell her to come to this board.....those of us who are Alumnae Initates will do a solid job on telling her that she should GO FOR IT with Zeta!

Hey, I'm being initiated as an alum next month. I didn't attend a Greek school and missed out on this while in college. My sponsor is great and really helping me with this process. We are already really close and she wants to have big/little week even though she is really my sponsor, not technically my big. My question is do I have any responsibilities as a "little" during this week? She wants to give me as much of the sorority experience as possible since I didn't even have the option in college.

You may want to buy her a small gift in return to thank her for helping you through the process.
