I don’t see how she could know this if she’s never been exposed to it before. She’s not interested in meeting a group of women who want to do public service, do activities together, raise money for a philanthropy? It is a way to have a group of friends who won’t abandon you just because you are a little quirky.
We just had a 40th reunion and one woman came back who was very unique (bi-polar long before that was commonly diagnosed). She was really delightful as an almost 60 year old, and although she’d never been a ‘cool kid’ in college, she had fond memories of doing the activities, living in the house, enjoying more of college than if she’d just lived in an apartment (only freshmen lived in the dorm). People always say that you can form the same group of friends with dorm roommates, with people from your major, but do you? Will some organization give you a list of where these people are living 40 years later, how to contact them, what their current names are? She’s now reconnected with the group because her name was on our list.
My daughter’s friend did the recruitment process because I suggested it after her mother died the summer before school started. She is a very shy kid, was very lonely and didn’t really like her roommate. She loved it. Not a party girl at all (neither is my daughter) but liked the community of a sorority.
At some schools, the sorority house is a great place to live. I’ve liked it because there is no lease and daughter had somewhere to return to after taking the spring semester off for an internship and semester abroad. Easy.
