Do I have to wait & pledge grad chapter for Delta Sigma Theta?
Q. I go to school at ITT Technical Institute in Norfolk Va, and would really like to become part of the sisterhood of DST. Since i go to a technical school do i have to wait and pledge grad chapter since it's not a 4 year college? I'm not asking for secrets or anything like that i just would like to get some general information. Every other Delta that I ask seems not to know.

I wanna pledge, but How do I do that through a Grad Chapter?
Q. Hello, I ahve a general question about pledging a grad chapter of a paricular NPHC Organization, however I will be joining a grad chapter, and from what I hear, grad chapters usually don't pledge, and then I heard some do, what how should I go about trying to gt a process. And for those who are against hazing and pledging and so forth, that's your business, not mine, and a personal decision that I am choosing to make for my own reason.Thank you very much, All opnions are appreciated

A. These organizations all have official websites - you should check their site to see how the process goes. For grad chapters (at least the ones I know of) you'll go through an intense interview process instead of pledging like undergrads do. Good luck!

What is the difference between pledging Grad chapter or undergraduate?
Q. I want to become a member of a sorority but I won't be able to pledge until I go to graduate school because my current university does not have Greek organizations. I'm hesitant to, however because its often said that grad's are looked down upon.

A. Honestly, as both a grad student and a former sorority member I have no idea how you are going to have enough time for both. Grad school is crazy enough without all of the distractions that go along with Greek life.

Can I pledge undergrad or do I have to pledge grad chapter?
Q. Hello I have a question. I graduated with my BS in accounting 4 years ago and went on to get my master in accounting. Now I'm going back to school to get a BS in criminal justics. I've always wanted to be a member of Delta Sigma Theta, it's been a dream for many years. The Ladies of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority have had a huge impact on my life. My question is can I pledge as an undergrad when I go for my second BS degree or do I have to pledge graduate chapter since I already have a BS degree? Thanks for your help.
Asked by Sam - Mon Apr 6 14:53:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Since you already have a BS degree you have to try for alumnae status. You can only try undergrad when you are working on your first degree.

A. Unfortunately no. You must attend a college or university that grants bachelor's degrees. If you attend a senior college, you'll have a better opportunity. Also, here is more information from the www.aka1908.org website: Undergraduate Membership Requirements: * Matriculation as a full-time student where the campus chapter is located; or matriculation as a full-time student in a school in the community where a city chapter of undergraduate status is located; * Completion of at least one successful grading period (or a defined by the university) as a full-time student at the institution where application is made; * A cumulative average of C+ and semester average of C+ immediately prior to submitting an application for… [cont.]

DST in my heart, but GPA right under required what are my chances?
Q. I am currently a senior and the DST is in my heart. I have researched and researched on the other organizations and this is the one I want to be apart of! My gpa is right under the 2.5 that I need to pledge; however, if you only knew why and how hard I worked to get it to the 2.5 it would make you cry. I have great letters of recommendation and have written an interest letter stateing why I want to be a DST and showing by the end of the semester i will have the 2.5. I am about to graduate and do not want to have to pledge grad chapter if I can do undergrad. What are my chances or what should I do?
Asked by Lovable - Thu Feb 1 11:59:47 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It never hurts to try However I believe the requirement is a 2.5. Since you will have a 2.5 by the end of the semester you should try for the graduate chapter in your area. I would encourage you to try now and see what the result is. I wish you the best and please don't give up try hard to get your GPA a little higher than 2.5 (I KNOW it's hard but try).

Does the Grad chapter participate in stepshows just like the undergrad chapter does? What are the main differences? Thank you biracial.

A. The activities involving membership intake for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. are sacred so I will not discuss the process over the Internet. Yes, graduate chapters step and some host parties. Both types of chapters have the same requirements and types of programs to fulfill in order to remain in good standing with the grand chapter. If you cross as an undergraduate, all your line sisters will be in college but, if you cross in an alumnae chapter, all your line sisters must be college graduates. Therefore, one difference between the two is that your line sisters will be younger if you pledge undergrad.

A. The best thing for you to do would be to check the national website for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I may be incorrect, but I believe that you can apply for membership on the graduate level...but as I said, I may be wrong... The national website is: www.deltasigmatheta.org Look under the membership tab. The answer to having the ability to apply for graduate level membership or if it is on the basis of invitations only should be there. Also, either way, DST is a service driven organization, so if you are not currently volunteering in the community you are missing out on the opportunity to meet some of the members because they ARE volunteering.

I just waited a little bit later in life to pursue my undergrad degree and was wondering if it would be better for me to wait until grad chapter or should I still go for it when the majority of my line sisters would be so much younger than me.

A. It honestly does not matter. The members simply want to see that you are of good character and will uphold the values of the sorority. Age should not a factor in determining whether or not you are a fit for their organization. If they do take age into account, they have issues. If it makes you really uncomfortable, then just wait until you graduate and join the alumni chapter. I still think you should pursue it :)

A. I'm going to try and say this as politely as possible. If you ever become Greek, you'll understand why I'm saying these things the way I am. I mean no harm; I just want you to think about it. As a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., I need to know why you don't want to join a grad chapter. Is it because you're worried about being paper? A skater? If these are your only reasons, then maybe Greek life isn't for you, or you need to change your priorities a bit. Sororities are about sisterhood and SERVICE, not about what you can get out of it.

how should I go about pledging Delta Sigma Theta?
Q. It's been in my heart on becoming a Delta ever since middle school. I yearn for the sisterhood and bonding. My dilemma is that I have a full time job that I cant give up because i have a good career and of course bills that I have to maintain. My question is I know that I will be able to handle going to school full time and working. But working full time, going to school full time, and pledging...will that even be an option? Or will I have to join a grad chapter? If i have to wait to join a grad chapter that's ok as well. I just needed some advice on the route that I need to take. In advance I appreciate the advice and guidance from any Delta or anybody else!

A. Delta requires a lot of work. With that being said, I believe it is possible to do it all depending on the person. When I went through intake, I was a senior in college, working 3 pt jobs, and student teaching full time during the day. Basically I received absolutely no sleep. However, once everything was over, it was over. So it depends on you. That is not the first time I had a lot on my plate. Before that semester, I was working my jobs much more, not because I had to, but because I do not like to be idle. I like to be kept busy so even though the semester of intake was stressful, I loved it. If you feel like it will be too much, wait until grad chapter. The commitment won't be easier, but at least you won't have school to worry about.… [cont.]
