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.

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!

If you are worried or concerned about your undergrad gpa, make sure everything else is on POINT! e.g. community service, knowing the members of the chapter you desire to join, and attending if not all, as many of their events that your schedule permits. The fact that you have a Master will DEF help you. Good luck to you!

A. Alpha Kappa Alpha no longer pledge. Aspirants go through the MIP. It won't be easy getting into the grad chapter since it's by invitation only. If you know 4 members, then they will be able to tell you when the grad chapter has community service open to the public. Just make sure you continue to do community service.

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.

A. The only way to EVER find out is to submit your packet again. Since this will be at a graduated level and not at the same chapter, then I say go for it. If the question is ever brought then just explain your situation to them. Let them know that you have were going through some personal problems and that you couldn't go through the process. If this particular sorority is in your heart, then I say go for it, or you will end up regretting in in the long haul. Good luck to you!

A. The only way to EVER find out is to submit your packet again. Since this will be at a graduated level and not at the same chapter, then I say go for it. If the question is ever brought then just explain your situation to them. Let them know that you have were going through some personal problems and that you couldn't go through the process.

Sorority/Fraternity Members Only! Please Help!?
Q. During the month of March I attended a formal interest meeting for Sorority #1. It was great until they disclosed some shocking information."We don't RUSH we PLEDGE" the president admitted. When school started back in August my supervisor (a member of Sorority #1) was pushing me to join but I didn't. The undergrad chapter told her that I was interested and its been a disaster ever since. Bottomline...I no longer want to join sorority #1. I was abused as a child and I refuse to take an unnecessary beat down. I am now interested in sorority #2. I feel like going to the meeting for #1 was a mistake and I was only pleasing my family. Sorority #2 satisfies my needs and plus they don't haze. Is it possible to join sorority #2 without causing… [cont.]

A. Okay, you also asked this question on greekchat and it's no surprise that you're not getting answers. You can't tell people how to respond to something when you're the one that's looking for answers. And you should know better than to make the comment you did about the 22 AKA's that "changed their mind." First of all, that's not what happened and if you knew the story, you would know that your situation does not at all equate. Also, you should know that this is a sensitive topic and neither members of AKA or Delta will appreciate your comment. If you want answers, you need to ask respectfully. First of all, the D9 organizations banned pledging in 1990. Before 1990 pledging and hazing were two totally different things. Today anything… [cont.]

Is there an age limit on joining Delta Sigma Theta?
Q. I am a non traditional student who went back to community college and will graduate with my associates in August. I currently have a 3.15 gpa and will be attending a 4 year institution Fall 08. My main concern is my age. I am 37 and have always wanted to be a Delta since I was in high school. I know that I have to have a semester at the 4 year to pledge, but I wanted honest opinions on whether or not to try now or wait until I graduate and do it in grad chapter. Any suggestions from Delta members is appreciated and welcomed!! Thanks!

A. No, you are not to old if you want to join DST. One of my line sisters was 36 with a child when she joined. I also know that of a young lady that joined AKA undergrad at my school and she was 42. There is NO age limit to join Delta, Just keep up the good work regarding your grades, get to know my sorors on campus and allow them to get to know you, and keep performing community service. Good luck to you, and please let me know if you have any other questions.
