How to Answer this Question?
 

Hello ladies!

I’ve been checking out GreekChat as a guest for the past few days, and it seems as though many of you have some valuable information and insight for non-greeks like me.

My reason for posting is this: My mother is an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, and I am not (though I am very interested). I have already received my undergraduate degree, and understand that as a graduate, I cannot solicit membership. To meet other members, I try to attend public events with my mom; however, when I first meet other members of her chapter, their first question to me is “When are you going to join?”, and I have no clue how to answer this question.

I understand the meaning of discretion and how important it is, so I really don’t know how to answer the “when are you joining?” question without it coming off as presumptuous and running the risk of offending someone (and I wouldn’t want to offend anyone). I usually try to avoid answering this question for these reasons.

I would really appreciate any tips/advice about this. Thanks in advance for your help! :confused:

How about: "if and when I am deemed worthy by the members of this prestigious organization."

Of better yet, ask your Mom how to answer.

Thanks for the reply! I spoke with her about this, but I wanted some input from others too.

My advice: trust your mama. Seriously. If you are really unsure, ask some of the members that you know IRL.

The rules are still the same folks. For those that need a refresher, see our P. O. W.

Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. members on GC do NOT discuss membership!!!

All the information you need to know about membership is on the International Website or on a need to know basis--meaning at this time, you do not need to know!

There is no debate on this question...

If there is non-compliance to this issue, we will close/delete the thread and report you to our International Headquarters for hazing.

This thread will be closed.

Thank you for your compliance!

Happy Holidays! :)
