		<title>Thoughts on the Parental Role During Recruitment and Beyond</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago I was asked to speak at our local University to the parents of potential new members going through Recruitment. It was move in day; the auditorium full of tired and emotional parents. I was asked to share some advice on what role they could play in their daughters’ upcoming sorority <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/09/thoughts-on-the-parental-role-during-recruitment-and-beyond/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Can you only join a sorority in 1st year?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To my almost-certain knowledge, no NPC sorority stipulates that only freshmen (or “first-years”) are eligible to be admitted to membership. For generations, our organizations have been enriched by the talents of women who joined as upperclassmen. Some groups even allow for graduate students to be accepted in the regular recruitment process. Because sororities emphasize the <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/08/can-you-only-join-a-sorority-in-1st-year/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Who do you ask for sorority references? When should references be submitted by? Should my daughter only get references for the sororities she is &quot;interested&quot; in?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[References should be obtained from a sorority member in the area where your daughter lives and attended school. Her contacts there can speak to her talents, activities and experiences. Each NPC member group provides contact information as well as due dates to their members for the submission of references. Due dates will vary by campus, <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/07/who-do-you-ask-for-sorority-references-when-should-references-be-submitted-by-should-my-daughter-only-get-references-for-the-sororities-she-is-interested-in/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>What is the best way to obtain references for my daughter who is participating in recruitment?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best way to obtain a reference from your area if you do not know anyone from a specific member group who can write a reference for your daughter would be to contact the Alumnae Panhellenic in your area. Here is the link from the NPC website that will direct you to the list of <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/07/what-is-the-best-way-to-obtain-references-for-my-daughter-who-is-participating-in-recruitment/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Can you join a sorority that is not at your college or university?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In order to join an NPC member group fraternity as an undergraduate member, the fraternity must have an active chartered chapter on the campus for which you are enrolled (or matriculated as defined by that institution) of the institution. Some NPC member groups do allow for the initiation of women as an alumna (or post <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/07/can-you-join-a-sorority-that-is-not-at-your-college-or-university/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>An Opportunity to Make a Difference Around Every Corner&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As April blended into May, and final exams were complete, my daughter moved home for the summer and I couldn’t have been more excited.   Mary Claire and her many new ‘belongings’ (How did she get all that stuff in her dorm room I want to know??!) have landed for a brief respite in her attic <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/06/an-opportunity-to-make-a-difference-around-every-corner/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Trying to be a Pollyanna Parent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My daughter graduated two weeks ago, so at this moment, I don’t think that Dr. Seuss ever composed more wisely or brilliantly then when he wrote, “Don’t cry because it’s over.  Smile because it happened.” My fellow NPC blogger, Mary Beth Rice, cited Seuss’s passage in one of her earlier essays and I can’t thank <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/06/323/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Can a member of a local sorority leave that organization in order to join a new national sorority?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 26 members of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) do not permit membership in more than one NPC group.   However, NPC groups often welcome members from local sororities as members.  It is possible to maintain friendships from your local sorority as you would other organizations you may have joined on campus along with your lifetime <a href="http://sororityparents.com/2010/05/can-a-member-of-a-local-sorority-leave-that-organization-in-order-to-join-a-new-national-sorority/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>
