Lemme explain it to you this way our Graduate chapters oversee our undergraduate chapters. There is this symbiotic relationship. Yes, at some point, the undergraduate chapters are "independent" - free to choose their members (to some degree). I can ONLY speak on Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. So, without the Graduate chapter's "blessing" so to speak, the UG chapter does NOT exist... Period...

With that being said, how does an UG chapter explain to a 25+ years in the Sorority member that there are no members to be found at a school like yours--and that is because today, sorority sister's daughter wants to join another "type" of sorority--given the kinds of commitments we uphold?

Are you understanding my question?

So, you're right, its hard to do any outreach when numbers are low.
I am unclear on what you are saying? Help me understand? Are you saying there is no purpose for a chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at your University? Are you saying that you have intimate knowledge of what it took to charter a chapter from my Sorority on your campus? You know there is a reason why a chapter was chartered there--and it usually is not because some member thought it would be cool because that is false...
