Classmate: "Yeah, I was an Alpha Phi at Big Local School."
Neither of us are saying we don't care anymore - but she's NOT an Alpha Phi at the U anymore. She's still an Alpha Phi, but not there. I think that's where a lot of the confusion comes from, because it's easier to say that than for me to say "Oh, I pledged at Wisconsin Platteville and am now a member of the Twin Cities Alumnae Chapter."

Interesting...I'm a grad student at a different campus than the one I pledged at, so sometimes people assume I pledged here. Normally my conversation goes:
Them: What sorority are you a member of?
Me: Sigma Gamma Rho
Them: Did you pledge here at Tech?
Me: No, I pledged at the U, and I'm a member of a graduate chapter.
I guess for D9 orgs, most folks ASSUME you're in a graduate chapter once you graduate.
