Does Your GLO take Grad Students?
 

I've been around GC for a few months now and I'm a regular reader. I keep noticing that quite a few people are asking about rushing (or going through recruitment) as a grad student, yet no one seems to know which specific orgs. offer bids to grad students. So now I'm really curious. Is there a nation wide policy for each GLO about this or is it considered on a chapter by chapter basis? Does anyone here on GC know what their org.'s policy is on grad students?

i think it's national.

The only one that I know off the top of my head that takes grad students is Phi Sigma Sigma (although i could be wrong!)

Kappa Delta does not take grad students- that's a national policy. AI is also very rare for us as well....

In Alpha Phi Alpha, if you have received an undergraduate degree, then you must join an Alumni Chapter.

(If there are exceptions, I have not yet heard of any.)

In Alpha Phi Omega, it is up to the chapter. Graduate students may join college chapters if the chapter and school allow it.

we do
 

We take grad students!

But I know that we are the only ones in HAlifax that do...I don't think it's too common.

Theta Nu Xi
 

We have 3 ways a woman can join

-Undergrad
-Grad Student
-Professional

So in answer to your question, yes we accept grad students!

Yup.

I do not think that DG does take graduate new members...I'm almost positive we don't...maybe I'm wrong. We are big on AI though.

Can people please clarify if your organization accepts graduate students specifically in undergraduate chapters? I think that may have been the nature of the original question.

Yes. Theta Nu Xi does accept graduate students in undergrad chapters.

Great Question!
 

Thanks for that question! I have been "hanging" around GC for a while and am thinking of pursuing AI. Unfortunately, my graduate school does not have greek organizations, and my undergraduate didn't either. Now that I am in graduate school, it is more difficult to meet people, and have a social and community life, that is why I am considering a GLO. Any information would be great! Thanks tons!:)

Sigma Alpha Iota indeed takes graduate students! :D I didn't actually know this until this year, when two graduate assistants in the music dept approached me and asked about the possibility of rushing, and I found out we could take grad students.

In addition, if a woman didn't join while in college, or if she never went to college, she can certainly be considered for patroness membership.

Nope, AEPhi doesn't take grad students, nor do we offer AI. You join as an undergrad or you don't join. (Which I feel is very short-sighted, especially when I look at all the wonderful GCers who are pursuing AI or have become AIs... :( )

Woodrow Wilson was a grad student and chapter president
 

When future U.S. President Woodrow Wilson joined Phi Kappa Psi, he did so in law school at the University of Virginia. He served as that chapter's president. When he attended graduate school at Johns Hopkins, Bro. Wilson transferred his membership to our Maryland Alpha chapter, where he again served as a chapter president.

Phi Kappa Psi only requires that the student be a full time student at the chapter's host institution, and that he be a gentleman.

WOW
 

All these replies in one day! Thanks to everyone for answering my question!
