You can just show up sign in as a guest. usually they will let you come free a couple times then you can join if you like. after getting in the guild you can join a bee they meet different times of the month. there are 10 in my bee and sometimes we sew and sometimes we just chat.
I e-mailed first and went to the monthly meeting....

I just showed up at one guild that I belonged to, at first meeting felt welcome after that found out that most folks seems to stay in little clusters and found it hard to fit in, and heard lots of negative comments about the people that were demonstrating different quilting projects, so I just didn't go back, I hope the guild you are joining is better.. I do belong to a small LA Guild and everyone is very friendly.. I really enjoy it.

Either just showing up, calling or emailing someone is acceptable. I found some of the nicest people at my quilt guild in Texas, and they've become life-long friends. What you can learn, glean from others and contribute to a guild is invaluable!

I belong to the Pittsburg Ks., guild. We have people just come to the meeting and the door greeter gives them a name tag. Then the Membership Chairman introduces them to the members.
They can come 2 times before deciding if they want to join. October is our Birthday Month, and the best month to join. We have members join anytime, tho.
Hope this helps; nothing formal about it. We wear blue jeans, slacks, ect, just whatever we want to wear; definitely not dress-up.

Both the guild I belong to currently and the one where I used to live, love to have new people drop in. My old guild is now charging $5 for guests, but they do provide refreshments at the meeting.
If you are uncomfortable just showing up, go to your LQS and ask them about the guild, usually someone who works there or someone in the store may be a member and can give you some insight. Also, see if the guild has a website that provides information about the guild.

I just went to a meeting at the last place I lived. It was kind of a test. If I felt welcome (I did), then I would pay my dues for a year and see how it went. The people in that guild (in a rather exclusive area of NC) made me feel like any question I asked was important, even though I obviously didn't fit into their "social set". They could not have been nicer or more informative! I have not joined a new guild yet because it's so far away, and I have all of you!
