The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls Issue Call to Action for Sorority Recruitment
(ContentDesk) August 18, 2005 -- The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls, through its founders Kristina "Morgan" Rose and Deandra "Brooksie" Brooks, call on collegiate and alumnae members to support sorority recruitment efforts this fall. Often referred to as sorority rush, fall recruitment is considered a tradition on many college campuses."The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls wishes all of the collegiate chapters busily preparing for fall rush the best of luck with their recruitment efforts," Rose said. "While the process is hectic and can sometimes be stressful, the Greek experience teaches many important life skills and a new generation of women should have the opportunity to benefit from it.""We also urge all sorority alumnae members to get involved in the recruitment process by writing letters of recommendation and offering support to their collegiate chapters," Brooks added. "Sorority membership does not end with graduation, it's a lifelong commitment. If you want your organization's alumnae network to remain strong, you've got to support the collegiate chapters in their efforts to continue recruiting high quality women." Morgan and Brooksie are the authors of "The Recovering Sorority Girls' Guide to a Years Worth of Perfect Parties" (Andrews McMeel, 2005).
This comprehensive party-planning guide is based on the premise that Greek life provides numerous positive benefits, including the ability to plan and host a great party. Specifically they cite the party-driven nature of sorority recruitment as a trial by fire in developing solid party themes and menus, the ability to work within a party budget and the importance of establishing a realistic party timeline. After graduating and realizing that many professional women lacked this crucial knowledge, they founded the Society of Recovering Sorority Girls ? aka Rho Sigma Gamma - to educate people on fabulous party hosting techniques and to foster the growth of an entertainment-based lifestyle sorority. Although the Society of Recovering Sorority Girls tends to focus on the party planning skills one learns in a collegiate sorority, they recognize that the Greek experience prepares women for unlimited professional leadership challenges. Examples include U.S.
Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, a member of Alpha Chi Omega, Today Show Host Katie Couric, Delta Delta Delta, and Mary Ellen Weber, Phi Mu, is an astronaut who has participated on NASA shuttle missions."We call upon collegiate and alumnae members alike to find the next generation of Greek leaders," concluded Rose and Brooks.The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls is an elite organization devoted to a life less ordinary. Its founders, Kristina "Morgan" Rose and Deandra "Brooksie" Brooks firmly believe in applying many of the principles of collegiate Greek life to improve the leisure activities of young professionals everywhere. Morgan and Brooksie are also the authors of The Recovering Sorority Girls' Guide to a Year's Worth of Perfect Parties (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005)www.recoveringsororitygirls.com.

Making Cultural Differences Work in Your Business
Advancements in technology have made the world so much smaller, don't you think? We used to be separated by mountains and oceans, color and culture.But now on the highways and byways of the internet, we're but a
single mouse click away. Think about this for a moment. You and I may be thousands of miles away at opposite ends of the globe, but on the net, we may as well be sitting across a coffee table.The internet's really one huge melting pot of people, ideas, culture. Just take a look at any forum or message board and you'll see what I mean. So if you're going to be doing business on the internet, you should
consider that your business will be open to the world, and you're going to be serving customers from the West Coast to the Far East, and everywhere in between.I know many of us have this idea about starting small, and so we start out thinking we'll only be dealing with local or domestic customers, the people in our neighborhoods, our city, our country.

Multi-Cultural Holiday-Party Teaching Tip
Happy Holidays! At this time of year, why not plan a multi-cultural holiday party?Have your children research the holiday customs of their family's heritage country. Depending upon their ages, your students may watch a video, read a book or article, research on the internet, or interview family members.Have them make a collage or write a report of their findings.Graph the number of students whose families come from different countries.The day of the party, let them wear clothes, bring in food (labeled with name of the food and the country it represents), bring in music, and play games representing as many of the countries as possible.Another way to have an international celebration is for each teacher on the team to be in charge of a different country. Make a passport for the children that needs to be stamped upon their visit to that country. At each stop, the teacher will present an activity for the country (s)he is representing...anything from a dance to a game to a cooking activity...the...

Heavy Weather Guide
Direct Answers - Column for the week of April 26, 2004My girlfriend and I are basically the same age, just a six month difference.
When I went to buy the engagement ring in February, I felt certain she was the right one.
She accepted my proposal by saying, "If we go slow?"
We've been doing that.
We had the ring resized to fit her finger, and the wedding wasn't to be until Easter 2006.
This morning she broke it off.
We were happy and taking it slow, but for some reason it felt fast to her.
Right from the start, her relatives pressured her to break up.
She asked me questions, I answered honestly, and my answers were acceptable.I want to get married and have my own happy family in the next five years.
Preferably in the next two.
This afternoon I even cried.
What can or should I do?
I know suicide's not the answer, but maybe it would make a difference to her and them.
No, I...
