OKAY ACCORDING TO 33girl this is not ENGLISH. So let me rephrase myself. I hope this is better for you. Hello Everyone, I am in the military ACTIVE DUTY and would like to join a sorority i have seen it done but not sure how it was done. I attend school online but not full-time. |

Hello snegron,
First, Thank you so much for your service to our country in the military! For membership in a collegiate chapter, I would say that your first step to see if it would work on your campus is to contact the Greek Life/Campus Life office at your school and talk to the person in charge of greek life. Most new member programs require that you attend several meetings (new member, chapter meetings, etc) before you are fully initiated. If you attend school online you will need to access if you are able to make it to these meetings. There are sometimes exceptions to the rules (which may be how you have seen it done), so I would make sure and ask that in your conversation with the greek life director. Question - When you say "I have seen it done?" are these colleagues of yours that you can ask? Good luck! |
snegron, I also thank you for your service to our country.
Now, please go read adpiucf's post on the "911 on recruitment". Lots and lots of information there. And, if you are enrolled solely in an online college, I believe your opportunities for recruitment in any of the NPC member sororities are fairly limited to non-existent. I won't comment on any other GLOs' recruitment practices. |

Snegron, I want to also thank you for your service. If you are active duty and doing online classes, you would have to wait until you go to a brick/ mortar college with a greek system to even be considered. I realize that online classes can also be in the form of traditional schools, Oregon State, Penn State, Florida State, Syracuse, etc. If you are taking online courses at a traditional school, please clarify. That will make this much easier to answer. If you are unable to join an NPC, you can always look into joining Beta Sigma Phi. It is a non-collegiate sorority, which also offers a lot of sisterhood and the ability to do community service. Good Luck! |

I would say it could happen, once you're a full time student at a brick and mortar college. And presuming you are older than 18 by at least a couple years, this would have to be a non-traditional campus. I don't see that happening at an SEC or Big 10 or other very traditional campus. That's based on age, not military experience.
I'm not directly familiar with BSF but I know of {a} woman who has been a member for MANY years and seems to have the same alumna experience I've had with my NPC sorority. She just didn't have the 4 years to start it. And I believe (but don't trust me - google is your friend) that they have an online program. |
Beta Sigma Phi was founded, in part, because many women had to give up educational opportunities due the difficult Great Depression. Our founder saw that women needed cultural and educational experiences along with a sense of sisterhood. It's a good option for women who are looking for those things (opportunities to learn, serve others, and make lifelong friendships).
You can find more information here: http://www.betasigmaphi.org/Prospective_Members.php However, if you are looking for the collegiate sorority experience, Beta Sigma Phi will not meet those expectations. You could check out a chapter and see if the sorority holds what you are hoping to find. DubaiSis is right. We do have online chapters. I've been in two different land chapters, and I've been a member of Online Kappa since March 2003. It's been a fantastic experience. Keep your options open. |
