I always wanted to be a film maker and I did africana studies because of my family background (My family is from Eritrea). Even though graduating with a degree in Film at UCLA is good, NYU is giving me and others the opportunity to go to Africa and make a documentary about the current events that are occurring in Eritrea and Ethiopia. Also I have never been to New York, I am really excited to live in the East Coast before going to Africa.

So given those plans, how come you want to join an NPHC Sorority, now?

it has been something that I have been wanting to do since freshman year. I honestly never took the time to do it because I was too busy studying all the time to try to keep my grades up so I can keep my scholarships. Now that I am all set for the fall, I want to finally do one of the things that I have been wanting to do for a long time.

I just keep 2nd guessing myself because it is my last semester as an undergrad, plus my family who never been in any org., or college don't really understand and keep telling me that its not worth it. I just came on here to see what people who are already in NPHC thinking about someone who might be doing the MIP process there final semester.

lol. So Eritrea, UCLA, gradschool at NYU. Can't be that big of a pool. lol. Discretion.

Good luck in graduate school though, it sounds like an interesting course of study.

Did you get an invitation to join on paper or just an invite to the rush? You have a lot of research to do IN REAL LIFE and not on a message board...:rolleyes:

LOL...girl you a trip...lol!

Yesterday was March 24th right????

When does your school officially ends its Spring semester? Just wondering...

The last day of finals is May 20th, and I have done my research

I'm calling shenanigans. My college best friend went to NYU for film school, and never did she or her classmates call it "film making" school. Also, unless you're paying a ton ton of money you're not studying the two fields. Tisch is so exhausting as a student that it's impossible to take classes outside of the program.

Peace out...perping a prospective member! Har har har.

Its called Filmmaking its an MFA degree offered at NYU, where I get to focus on directing and writing. As for Africana Studies program, you are required to go for a semester in Africa. I worked it out where I get to study a year at NYU for the filmmaking program then go to africa where I can make a documentary for my thesis.

This is no shenanigans, Like i said before I spent too much time during school studying my butt off so I can have this opportunity that is why I waited last minute to decide if I want to join a greek org.

Just in case you wanted to know if its called "film making school" check it out here

The excitement you have for your graduate school and future studies, should be the same excitement you have to serve your community through an NPHC sorority. If you're not sure you can handle the load of work these organizations entail (beyond the MIP process) perhaps you should think about it a few years more...:rolleyes:

Focus on your studies.

Don't join.

Save your Money.

Save them the grief.

You're too 'busy', remember?

Sisterfriend,

Accept the invitation only if the sorority is your choice. Trust me, they already know this is your last semester in college. They probably know your goals. When sororities send out invitation, they normally do some research. Sororities and Fraternities do not send out blind invitations.

co-sign

May 20th??? So UCLA operates by quarters?
