Thanks. I was about to say what the OP is asking about isn't impossible for NPHC graduate/alumni/alumnae membership. However, the OP is searching for a GLO that will take him and fishing expeditions like that shouldn't be directed to NPHC orgs.

People's activity will cease because of med school or any other strict graduate school or strict career regiment. However, the logistics behind that are solely up to the individual and the chapter.

Whoops, that's what I meant. "Can pledge on the campus" meaning "grad students actually pledging." I need to work on my phrasing.

FYI: In an earlier time, it was fairly common for fraternities to have chapters at what we'd call 'professional schools' nowadays. Presently, at Meharry Medical College, a historically Black medical/dental/graduate biomedical school located in Nashville, TN, you have chapters of NPHC groups which function as college chapters do. Delta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi at Meharry, with which I'm more familiar, was founded in 1919. They had a Fall '10 Probate Show for their new "line" (i.e., new initiates of their most recent pledge class). See an excerpt from this probate:

Yep know all about Meharry. They were across the street. Like Dr Phil said though it is easier through an NPHC.

But I will give you the real story behind Meharry, their greek life paled in comparison to the undergrads that surrounded them (both Fisk across the street and TSU down the street.) And most of their active members were year 1 and year 2 students.
