Also, some of my NPHC sister orgs have affiliates of women who do not have a college degree so that is always an option as well. I am not sure if these affiliates extend to distance or part-time students, though. If someone from one of said orgs wishes to speak further on this, they will.

If you are enrolled in a 4 year degree program you are not eligible for Philo affiliate membership.
Wait a minute, I should have addressed the poster above you McCoy Red, cause her statements are getting on my nerves. If you have a desire to be a part of SOMETHING GREAT, that should never wax or wane. I did not become a member until I was 36 years old AND I had children. But it works out well for us because my sorority has functions and service opportunities that my children participate in since several of our national programs are youth-based.
For the new groups that have been posting on here I don't understand their founding and focus. Please don't get me wrong and and begin a barrage of attacks for my statements here because I would love to help. I tried to help the originator of this thread with real live opportunities and people I could connect him with and through PM I didn't see his real desire to do so. It just seems that these groups are started with an antagonistic purpose and an insecurity about not being part of the D9. As my fellow greeks and Sorors have stated in this thread, it takes years to build. I can understand the new groups members' defensiveness cause you do get tired of explaining yourself but some of us would like to genuinely be of assistance.
