Is it looked down upon...
 

Hypothetically speaking, if someone goes to an informational, submitts an application, gets accepted formally, but then decides to decline membership because of personal reasons, and then five years later decides to want to join a grad chapter of a different organization how is that looked upon, is it unacceptable? Would you as a member accept a prospective member, if he or she tried to join a another sorority(other than your own) during undergrad, but then wanted to join your grad chapter after some time has passed?

That the depends on the members of that chapter and none of us on here are mind readers (well maybe one or two.)

...okay now, say you didn't know what you was doin. You new in town n you lookin around for another name to ruin. And it's me that you pursuin?! Well, well, well..I'll be damned. I might as well tell you who I am. I am the capital L-Y-T-E...and it shocks that I'm the one you're mockin oh yes...

I could go on but I'll end my MC Lyte "Cha-Cha-Cha-" there. I have nothing else to contribute to this thread.

That thought crossed my mind, but I was feeling charitable today. Afterall is is/was my Deltaversary. :D

Awwwwwwww! Happy belated Deltaversary, Soror Mommy!

That's a big hypothetical.

A very big hypothetical.

(Pardon the lane swerve, ladies, but I couldn't help myself)

Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode:

ELAINE: No, no.. but it is quite a coincidence.
RAVA: Yes, that's all, a coincidence!
ELAINE: A big coincidence.
RAVA: Not a big coincidence. A coincidence!
ELAINE: No, that's a big coincidence.
RAVA: That's what a coincidence is! There are no small coincidences and big coincidences!
ELAINE: No, there are degrees of coincidences.
RAVA: No, there are only coincidences! ..Ask anyone! (Enraged, she asks everone in the elevator) Are there big coincidences and small coincidences, or just coincidences? (Silent) ..Well?! Well?!..

Nope.

um, yeah... you screwed yourself when you were officially accepted.

My sistergreeks are funny!

The hypothetical situation really has occurred in reality [Disclaimer: not involving one of my sorors], and as LadyGreek said, acceptance/reactions depend on the individuals. The official acceptance (not just interest...wow) would probably be a big game changer for those who know about it, but there may be some who are more understanding. OK, more like a handful, but it could happen.

I'd be sisterly in that situation, but there would be some side-eye action from o

Hahaha I know this was posted back in May but it made me laugh.

Unless the personal reasons were a hideous family tragedy...eff no.
