Well, from the posts its seems that a good number of people believe that there is no such thing as a "#2" choice.
Keep in mind that THE organization that these individuals want to pledge is not an undergrad consideration. It is only available for grad.
However, it is difficult when you hear Greeks say that they would miss a lot if they went Grad. For some people who were seeking their ideal of a fool Greek experience, comments like these from undergrad and grad greeks might make some hesitant to "miss out" on the undergrad experience when they could potentially have that with another organization (especially if they had ever considered it while doing their research).
That being said, how important has the undergrad experience been in shaping your perception of your organization? And for those who eventually joined Grad chapter after undergrad, how has that perception changed?

First of all, kill the speaking in hypotheticals. Your other thread shows that you are speaking for yourself. So quit with the pretending that you are talking about anyone other than yourself. You look silly.
I was unable to go undergrad for a number of reasons. At the time, I felt like I was missing out on something, but my desire to become a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha didn't wane. I loved the ORGANIZATION, not the local chapter, not all of the undergrad hype. That is what it seems that you are caught up in. Now that I've gone grad, I know that it was the best thing for me. AKA came into my life at the perfect time. I wouldn't trade my line sisters or my experiences thus far for anything. If I could go back and go undergrad I wouldn't, just because I love my line sisters and my chapter that much. I think that the undergrad experience would've been much DIFFERENT, but not necessarily BETTER. Either way, being unable (for whatever reasons) to pledge undergrad should not be a determining factor in which organization you decide to pursue. You, my friend, are worried about the WRONG thing. Get it together.
