A. Please listen to Lady Fortitude. Most of us are wrapping up our sorority year and will not be responding to emails about intake anytime soon if at all. If you don't feel comfortable speaking with someone at HQ then please speak with whomever you plan on writing your letter of recommendation and ask them to find out for you. Oh and delete your other question--you'll get your points back faster.

What advice do you have to build relationships from contacts made with a few sorority alumnae chapter members?
Q. I understand that the alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta runs concurrently with the collegiate chapters, meaning they don't have activities through the summer, at least not that are open to the public. Since this past fall, I've attended many of the alumnae chapter events and managed to make personal contact with a few of the members, including the President and VP. The VP and I are alums of the same high school, which has a website where I can contact her. Two of the girls and I workout at the same gym, but are on different schedules. One girl has done my hair before and I call to chit chat with her every now & then about her job. During the summer months, any advice on how to build on those contacts so as not to feel like I'm starting… [cont.]

A. You may want to talk to all of them to see if they feel the same way. Set up a once-a month lunch meeting to network. Tell them they can bring a friend to the group, too, they don't have to belong to the sorority. Keep everyone's phone number and e-mail address in your contacts list on your computer. Don't send them junky forwarding stuff - just actual networking issues and planning the next meeting.

Sorority Question-Anyone please feel free to answer if you think you have an accurate answer.?
Q. I'm not sure who will answer this question, but please don't be offended. I have been interested in a particular sorority for quite a while, but from doing some research, I cannot find find the name of the alumnae chapter anywhere. Do anyone know how or where about I can find out an alumnae chapter's name? I have the president of the alumnae chapter contact information, but I think its just silly to call or email her and be like what's the name of your chapter or when is your next event/rush. That's just not gonna get it and I know that. My other thing is: graduated from a 4 year college but with an associate's degree and have the required GPA. Being that its an associate degree, will I still be considered? I'm also in grad school and my… [cont.]

A. Hi there, Have you ever thought about visiting the organization's national website? Most websites have a section where they list all chapters (undergrad and alumnae). If you have the president's information, there is nothing wrong with sending a friendly email inquiring about future events. When I was the president of my chapter, I didn't mind when prospective members send an email inquiring about my chapter or future events. You also want to check on the organization to see if you qualify for alumnae membership. For example, most organizations, you have to have earned a Bachelor's degree in order to qualify for alumnae membership. I would once again refer you to their National Website to check out the qualifications for membership. … [cont.]

Delta Sigma Theta?
Q. I have been interested in being a Delta since I was a junior in college. I attended all events, got to know the members, and attended a rush, in fact one of the chapter members wrote my letter of recommendation...Unfortun ately, I botched my application by not returning it to its original form.

I know the President of the Alumnae chapter through my campus affiliations and she advised that she would send me a letter about the rush.

A. Hi there, First off congrats for graduation from college. That alone is a HUGE accomplishment. There aren't many differences between Alumnae chapter and Undergrad chapters. One of the main difference is trying to balance your family, and work along with the commitment of Delta. Undergrad the only other thing you have to be concerned about is school, and maybe a part time job. Also Alum chapters don't have intake as often as undergrad chapters. So some may say it's harder to get invited to membership. My advice to you is to keep in contact with the President from the chapter you mentioned. And if you are not extended an invitation to membership and Delta is truly in your heart, then keep trying. I know a few members that have tried more… [cont.]

How do I handle this situation pertaining to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.?
Q. I graduated from a 4 year university with a 3.0 GPA, I have a lot of community service as well. I just moved to a small town a little over a year ago and I am interested in joining their alumnae chapter of DST. I had an opportunity to speak with the former president of the chapter (who is a very sweet old woman but who easily forgets a lot of things; which was clearly shown several times within our conversation) and told me that many of the members are older women but that she told me to submit a letter of interest to their P.O. Box (which I did). After I had sent in my letter, she called me about a week later and said they voted and were NOT having a line this fall (2009) but in the spring (2010). So ever since then I have been preparing… [cont.]

A. Okay here's the deal. Unless my soror that you spoke with is a personal and close friend of yours, I think you should have focused more on asking about upcoming events, community service, and projects that they have coming up. I know you are anxious about trying to find out when they are going to have MIP, but I will tell you as I have told other prospective members, discrection is the key! Knowing when they are going to have Rush; although important is not the answer. Even if you attend rush, the key is getting the majority vote from the chapter. That's where trying to get to know my sorors comes in. I am also not sure why my soror told you about Delta Business (I am referring to her telling you when and if and when they are having a… [cont.]

Do I have a good chance for Georgetown or Tufts?
Q. Hi guys. I'm currently an African American high school junior and I want to major in International Relations and minor in Poli. Sci. I love traveling and I always keep up with contemporary foreign affairs; i find the international platform very intriguing and interesting. I'm not sure which school I should go to for undergrad & I'm not aware of which schools I can possibly get into. I like Tufts because of its Study Abroad program and because of the traditional campus feel but I like Georgetown because of the D.C. atmosphere and the internships that are available in the area. I also plan to take up extra language courses while I'm in undergrad to strengthen my career resume. But 1st of all, do I have a chance of getting into these schools?… [cont.]
