30+ YO INTERESTED IN PLEDGING UNDERGRAD--IS THAT ABSURD?
 

Hello :)
I have recently returned back to school to complete my undergrad degree. I am interested in participating in a sorority. Please advise how do the sorors treat older (I am 32 years old) undergrad students that are interested. Should I just wait and go for the graduate chapter?

Oh yeah by the way if you do not have anything nice or positive to say how about you keep it to yourself. That is not a sign of sisterhood no matter what sorority one may belong to. :(

PG

If you read the important announcements in the individual NPHC sorority forums, you'll see that questions regarding membership are NOT answered online.

Having such a snippy attitude won't win you brownie points either. :rolleyes:

Likewise.

We could've and perhaps would've answered her very basic question. That's if she had used her 30+ yo brain and left that last paragraph out.

And what do you know about signs of sisterhood? You aren't in a sorority (and you do not have any sorors).

Oops, that may not have been positive :rolleyes:

Exactly! So not only do people want us to answer thier questions, but we HAVE to give them the responses they want.

Hi! :D

My question is this.... you're interested....you're older....why don't you tell us how you're treated?

shhh...she's one of those people who waits until usernames tell her what to do. Then she becomes a big girl and goes out into the real world.

Dang, she asked a simple question and gets this type of welome?:mad:

Thank you one and all!:rolleyes:

Welcome to G C!:o

Tom, there are stickies in each of the NPHC sorority forums saying that they do not wish to discuss membership questions online. While you may or may not agree with it, this is how they and their national organizations feel is the best way to conduct business for them. Please show them the same respect that you would want them to show to Lambda Chi Alpha.

Just wanted to reiterate that it *could* have been answered by anyone who chose to do so because it was general, basic, and non-specific.

The members of the orgs know the rules and limitations on what they can and cannot discuss.

ETA: She was still wrong for framing her question with an attitude.

Yep. I was getting ready to answer her question until I read the end of her post.

If she's so concerned, she will read sources and contact local members and figure it out.

Perhaps she imagined that she was our elder or that we are all undergraduates. Even if she was and we were, the instructional tone she took with us needs to be checked before she approaches those undergraduates pretending like she's someone's momma.

Tom, I wouldn't have answered her either based on her "attitude"

LMAO....you ladies are absolute AH. You know why you took with an attitude oppose to someone who don't have time for juvenile little girls because this is what you always do. I read alot of the posts of other individuals (who were your peers) who wanted to real help and you laughed them to the next town.
Amazing....

You don't need to pledge a sorority, you need to pledge the library!

is this english?????:eek:

oh yeah calm down, we got ours boo boo...you trying to get there...:cool:

LMAO - LAUGHING MY A** OFF
AH - A** HOLE

Trust that you care more than we do. Good luck with figuring it all out.

If you really are what your original post claimed you are, that is.

LOL!

<--resident instigator

Well, why don't you go on and express your interest to the younger undergrads? If you don't like their attitude toward you either, call them a$$holes. Please come back here and let us know what happens!

^^^ yes you are indeed that. :)

Take a close look at the user name, I think it's the sad, bored, getting ignored-too-much resident troll trying to both be clever and make a political statement. Don't feed it and it should die...

BOOOOOO...why can't we ever get real aspirants. :(

Touche!!
Thank you!!:cool:

I am wondering how she can call folks who are much older than her "soror"? She is not my soror otherwise she would provide deference and explanation.

Ill willed people are against all my degrees.

how the HAYLE do i miss these?!

Sweet lord...
 

I don't know what half of that means but...

Please, do us all a favor (and by all I mean the entire western hemisphere) and pay attention to your studies in college. I'm afraid a sorority may detract from the necessary amount of time you will need to fix all of the grammatical mistakes that your English professors will point out to you in your papers.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! *wipes tear*

What if some little birdie here were really mean, found an IP for chick, confirmed she really is a 30 + y/o undergrad using a school e-mail address, and advised the chapter of this 30+ y/o interest? Just what if someone were that aggravated by the attitude and lack of respect and the need to get da hayle on? Hmmm?

You WORK for a living... ;)

The freaks come out a night!!!

Almost all of us work for a living.

She just overlooked some threads but posted in some other ones.

That would make that person extremely lame, vindictive for no reason, and in need of a hobby. ;)

I have to agree with you, but you know that's how some people shamelessly operate when it comes to their orgs. Bless their hearts.

My husband likes your siggy... :)

Tell him to go drink some orange pop and stop looking over your shoulder. :)

I am going to be the nice one here and respond so Earp won't be angry with me.

PG, yes it would be absurd for you to pledge collegiate. Shoot, at 30+ there is now way you would be able to keep up the strenuous activities involved in pledging like 19 and 20 year olds. Do yourself a favor and wait until grad.

Hope this helps.

*trying not to bust out laughing at work*:D

Can I please use this on my siggy?

Thank you LadyGreek for being able to answer that humble (lol) old aspirant.

OP, are you from Dallas by way of NY??

I know some one with that exact name and age.
