When my friend mentioned it, I think she was suggesting it as an alternative if joining a collegiate chapter wasn't possible. She said it might still allow me to enjoy some of the benefits of being a member of a sorority, get involved with various philanthropic activities and so on. She mentioned she knew someone who had joined as one but under different circumstances and did help out from time to time at her college chapter from time to time. But I appreciate that circumstances differ everywhere.
In fact as I wrote the paragraph above I received an email from one of the sororities at my school mentioning AI may be an option as that particular sorority does not take grad students. It might be worth mentioning that I have had a couple of emails so far from other chapters at my school saying that they themselves are unsure. So I guess it must be fairly rare for grad students to want to join, presumably because most had the opportunity to join as an undergrad.
