Greek as Grad Student?
 

I might have misunderstood but I typically thought you couldn't be Greek after your 4 year degree? A friend of mine that goes to a smaller private school graduated last Fall and this Spring repledged her sorority. It is a national sorority not a local. I don't know anyone besides her that has rejoined their sorority after graduation. Can she do this because her school is smaller or can anyone at even a large school repledge and join after being active for 4 years?

Liar.

What do you mean "repledged"? Was she already a member and became active again? There is no such thing as "repledging" after you are initiated.

Whether a sorority 1) admits grad students as new members or 2) permits grad students to remain active members is DIFFERENT FOR EVERY SORORITY. It can also vary from chapter to chapter, although this is likely more a matter of tradition than anything in an individual chapter policy.

My bet is... went to pledging as an alumna.

*antes in*

You mean, went to initiation?

I don't usually eat virtual food but I might get a tube of chocolate chip cookie dough for this thread.

I picked pledging since she said pledged.

She graduated with her bachelor's degree and this Spring when she started her master's degree she repledged and was reinitiated. This is why I asked because I was sure you couldn't do it. Yes, she did repledge and had a new big and was part of the Spring class. I guess there are no rules established by their National HQ that addresses what to do with grad students and I had never heard of girls being recognised as members in my school's grad programs, none from my chapter even tried to keep status even though they were still students.

That seems terribly redundant.

I don't believe you. That doesn't happen.

And we all know which troll you are so you might as well give it up.

I don't care if you don't believe me. It happened. I have seen her facebook album with the Spring class pictures and her new big which happens to be her 1st little. I didn't say it makes sense and I don't know how they did it and that is why I asked. I thought this wasn't allowed. In my understanding from her grad school is seperate from the undergraduate school so it is like she is a new student therefore she can be active again.

No. Grad schools (even if they have a different name) are typically still part of the parent institution. They would not have separate institutional accreditation.

If you want to prove it happened tell us the school and organization.

I don't see what you expect me to get out of being a "troll" or lying about something that creates no drama or anything. Whether you believe it is true has no iota of importance of the situation. Obviously I asked because I had never heard of this before and her sorority is a very well known national sorority so I don't think they can just make up rules for their chapter as they go.

If I tell you the organization and the chapter how does that help you? That information won't give you the name of the girl or any knowledge of her campus unless another poster from that chapter can verify it. If you intend to message the president to ask that is just stalkerish.

Bullshit.

Then why ask?

Because I don't think this person, this institution, or this chapter exists.

Duh.

You don't think is the key words, therefore you do not know for a fact. Obviously like I said this isn't common so none of you have experienced it before. Someone said the Earth revolves around the Sun and that person was called a liar. I don't have to share that person's private information when you have no way of finding out even if you know the school and organization? Do you expect it to say "I joined in the fall of 06 and again in 2010" on the local website? There is no point in asking any of you because I know my answer already. It isn't common but her chapter let her be active as a grad student after being active for 4 years. Maybe anyone can do it, maybe it is just based on what that chapter decides but whatever, none of you know so ther is no reason to ask you and just get grief about it.

Knight Shadow, you wouldn't know at all since you are a guy and have no connection to being part of a sorority and by your info you wouldn't be able to tell me anything about a fraternity except yours and what they did!

It's not common insinuates that it does happen. Why would you ask about it?

But again, it's bullshit. Liar.

This is the stupidest thing ever of all time.

Men in fraternities have no experience with women in sororities?

And the rest of your post makes you too stupid to live.

The ONLY way this could work is if she was never initiated in the first place or if she was terminated or went inactive and her membership was REACTIVATED. At any rate, it is NOT the same as "repledging."

The only way anyone is going to believe you is if you let us know the name of the org and the school. If you don't, everyone is going to think you're pulling it out of your ass. You remind me of an old poster who tried to get everyone stirred up about "underground" groups and other Greek stuff when she wasn't even Greek and it was none of her business.

This seems to have you very upset, and you think the chapter is doing something wrong, so why not call them out so one of their sisters can investigate it?

LOL. What was the point of this thread?

Gee, look who posts her replies just like our other trolls.

For those of us in the cheap seats, whose sock puppet (troll?) is this? Is this perpberry?

Yep, see the troll thread for any links still up. If I put any in...

Most NPC groups allow one to stay in the chapter while in grad school if you go thru a procedure to signify same. We do...why not? More members in the chapter.

^^^ Sure it's most?

I'm having trouble understanding what this even means - procedure to signfiy same?

Kappa Delta does not allow grad students in the chapter.

^^^ WOOO-OOOO

Sidebar: I couldn't even work today. My day was spent browsing YouTube for old 90s TV show themes lol

Kappa Delta might not allow new students as grad students but she was a member all 4 years and the president so she was never inactive. I have no reason to make this up and I could careless what you believe because it doesn't change her facebook pics in the pledge class or knowing her little personally that is now her big. If most of you are alumna or not at this school you don't know what they might allow.

No, Knight Shadow doesn't know about sorority life as he is a GUY and not part of the IFC. If he was IFC he might have known a Kappa Delta but the Multicultural or whatever a Hispanic fraternity is doesn't know what a Panhellenic or IFC organization does.

Aw look, the troll is back.

First off, it's NIC, not IFC you stupid bitch. Second, ODPHI is a member of the NIC. Third and most important, look what a member of Kappa Delta stated before. And no it doesn't state that NMs can not be grad students. It states that grad student can not be in a chapter at all.

I so very much enjoyed these points.

I don't disagree with that title for the troll.

But, out of habit, I always say/type IFC instead of NIC and you betnot ever call me a stupid bitch. ;)

I missed this troll's shenanigans, but thanks.
