I know many women in grad school who are hesitant about rushing sororities directed to undergrads (but also extend membership to graduate students). There are feelings that the differences in goals, responsibilities and age would not afford the bond that they seek. Relating to women with similar interests and life experiences would be a welcomed asset to the graduate school life.

Yes but honestly, as a graduate student you just don't have time for being active in a sorority. Or if you were it would be a sorority and school and that's it. Most of my classmates are working women with families and they certainly don't have time.
I do hope to join the professional fraternity for my field when I can (I think maybe next semester I'll have the required hours) but that's an entirely different kettle of fish.
I'm not sure how you think that a graduate student's experience would be less "hectic" than anyone else's. Join a non-collegiate sorority for the sisterhood, a professional fraternity or other student organization for the grad student support.
