IMO the best plan would be to:

1. Contact the NATIONAL headquarters of each sorority and ask what their policy is. If a group says no, cross them off your list.

2. Contact the local chapters of the groups (if any) who do take grad students and ask what their local policy is.

3. Realize that just because a group CAN do something, doesn't mean they WILL.
Thanks for this. I've started at point two but now realise that contacting the national headquarters is probably the best thing to do next, especially as some local chapters I have had replies from are a little unsure themselves. I'll certainly keep your third point in mind as it is a valid point that is important to remember, some chapters my feel that a grad student just won't fit well within the chapter despite the national policy allowing it.
