I agree. I don't see where anyone was rude-- just honest and giving you options that will work for your educational level and situation. Graduate students, as a rule, are not pledged to NPC sororities based on NPC bylaws. There are a few who admit grad students, but they are not beholden to this policy and a majority of the collegiate chapters who are allowed are unaware that this policy even exists.

You've been given suggestions for ways to seek out other forms of sisterhood groups, and some cautionary advice has been given on your selection of graduate program due to your age and lack of professional experience.

It was not intended as a slight to the accomplishment of being accepted to a program: that is a big accomplishment-- but many young people who move straight through from undergrad to MBA programs are not aware of the challenges that will lie ahead post-college when it comes time to secure employment. It isn't impossible if you're going for something like i-banking or possibly management consulting, but if you're planning on moving into IT or marketing, it may be an uphill battle due to a lack of pre-MBA/post undergrad work experience.

Best of luck.
