I'm a little nervous about asking this but I figured it would be better to ask and find out sooner rather than later.
My interest in a certain sorority is still in its infancy and I'm researching all four organizations to make sure I have the best understanding possible of each group's history and platforms. When it comes to doing research is it okay to use any materials available through the campus library and inter-library loans in addition to the organization's website? In Search of Sisterhood, The Task at Hand and Pearls of Service have all been suggested to me but I'm unsure about where to start for Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho. Would any of you have recommendations about which books to read? Are there any that should be avoided

Unscripted - I read the Divine Nine while I was an aspirant. It's good that you're reading up before expressing interest as some ladies are none too nice if you choose to 'shop' around. Think about the ones you feel comfortable around in addition to the platforms versus your values. If the focus is on social justice and you care more about health initiatives, this is something to consider.
At the end of the day, it's a personal choice, and a lifetime commitment, so choose wisely.

IvyByDesign- I just ordered a copy for myself yesterday.
I was taught that we have two ears and only one mouth for a reason so that's one of the reasons why I've kept quiet so far. The other is that the organization is one that I could stay active and financial in. Both are important to focus on but one matters more to me for personal reasons. Thank you for the suggestion and your advice.
