You need to ask members of your organization.

It seems from your own organization's website, you already know the answers to this question.

BTW... please learn the difference between "were" & "we're".

Where is a .gif of a silver platter when we need one??



From the Eta Omega Tau web site, which you are apparently unfamliar with:

If you are interested in starting a chapter of Eta Omega Tau Sorority, Incorporated, please contact our Director of Expansion by e-mail at expansion@PinknBlack.org

Also, I strongly suggest you take some English classes prior to graduating from college. You're going to need it at some point in your life.

Alumnae.

I agree with DZsis&mom and thetalady. Even your sorority's home page shows that you all are eager to get new chapters and new members.

However, I do not blame you for coming to Greekchat because apparently that is what you all are being indirectly or directly taught to do. Ninety-five percent of the Greek-related threads on Greekchat would not exist if people used the resources already available instead of lazily coming to Greekchat for us to feed them answers. If more usernames were told to go away and research, fewer usernames would come here for us to tell them about their own organization.

An alumnus can also be a former member, employee, contributor or inmate as well as a former student.[2][3] In addition, an alumna (pl. alumnae) is "a female graduate or former student of a school, college, or university".[4] If a group includes both genders, even if there is only one male, the plural form alumni is used.


Is English taught at this University?

You do not have to go that far but since you did, merriam-webster.com is better than wikipedia.

I just do not want merriam-webster to be completely taken over by wikipedia.

I'm baffled why you thought that strangers on the internet who are not members of your sorority would know more about how to start a chapter of your sorority than your own sorority's leadership.

Exactly. This isn't exclusive to this poster, but it never ceases to amaze me when folks ask others for information about their organizations.
