First Hurdle Cleared!
I'm smilin' REAL big right now!
I sent my letter in inquiring about alumna initiation only a few days ago (Thursday, I think?) and a response came back just now. Gladly, the answer is not "no". <GGG>
The kind lady explained point-by-point the exact process of what they call "Honor Initiates". She acknowledged that I didn't know any alumna personally at the moment, but was cc'ing the email to a coordinator in order to facilitate an introduction to a potential sponsor.
I'm jazzed! There's a long road ahead and the outcome is far from certain, but I'm really happy w/ the first step!
Adrienne

Adrienne,
This is all great news! It all sounds positive and we'll all cross our fingers for you! Be patient as sometimes, the wheels can turn slowly, but I think you are off to a good start!

WOO HOO
That's great to hear! If I may piggyback on your thread, for a minute -
I have a sponsor!! She's a wonderful lady from my church whom I have known for years. She is a 50-year member of her sorority, which I think is amazing! I am so anxious to meet some of the local members. (and then maybe I will tell you which sorority it is!!)

Congratulations!
Please keep us posted on all the developments. I'm confident your stories will serve to inspire a lot of other women who read GC to follow their hearts to the sorority home they've always wanted.
good luck and greek love,
violets

The Waiting Game
Hi folks. Thanx for the nice words. Anyone else who is going through a similar process that I am, please do not hesitate to chime in--I am SO glad to hear there are others out there!
Emails have all been sent, read receipts have come in. Now it's time for patience. Founders day comes very close to Thanksgiving for this group, then you have Christmas/Chanukkah/everything else up til New Years. IMHO, it's likely I'm not going to hear anything until after January 1. Therefore, I'll start following up then.
Holidays are going to be quiet and at home for me, so I'll keep checking in on all you guys!

Congrats on taking the first big step, Adrienne! I am so glad you received a positive response from your potential greek home!
Just to give a little update of my own, after seriously considering all of my options and researching all of the GLOs in my area, I finally wrote and mailed a letter of interest to the Executive Office of the group I hope to join. With the holidays fast-approaching, I don't anticipate a speedy response. However, the first hurdle has been cleared for me as well. Now I will just wait and see.
Good luck to all of the other hopeful alum initiates!
