As a recent college grad, I think that the transistion to grad chapter from undergrd can be mindblowing!
We all share the same sisterhood, but it is not the same. Out of all my sorors who are still in town who have graduated in the last three semesters NONE have transferred into a grad chapter. That saddens me. I made a commitment to Alpha Kappa Alpha, not to my chapter. When I inquire why, they say either money or they (grad chapter) are all to old. The sponsoring chapter of my undergrad chapter has even waived some fees in order to influence undergrads to transfer in. I am going to miss my undergrad chapter dearly! However this Monday I will be at the grad chapter meeting with my dues, ready to work for them. If more focus was made to help sorors or any greek make the transtition I think we wouldn't lose as many. I know for me and probably everybody what I thought about my prior organizatin was was NOT what was waiting on ther other side. It is hard work and sometimes I am still shocked about what I thought Alpha Kappa Alpha was going to be like, and I laugh. I wouldn't trade it for the world though! I love my twenty pearls!
