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!
