Right now I'm just researching online and I plan on stating to call inter/national HQs soon.


Well here's how I see it. Recruitment is already over, right? So until the next COB period/formal recruitment, you can't join an undergraduate chapter. If you're looking for next semester, then you might have a shot at another sorority whose official policies don't preclude graduate students from joining. The VP Recruitment for that sorority would/should know the national policy about graduate students being offered bids for HER sorority...the people at the Greek Life office don't always know or have the right information about specifics of each sorority on campus. My gut feeling is that you're not going to have much luck with this particulate undergraduate chapter you're looking into.

If you want to try AI, you've made the right step -- you were contacted by a member and you've contacted the appropriate channels for information. Now it's time to play the waiting game Get used to long delays between emails...if the other stories on this forum are any indication, you play long, slow games of communication tag in the AI process. Don't get discouraged, but don't get frustrated by long delays between emails. Sometimes no news is good news....but sometimes no news means "No"

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
