Hi Pink Bunny,
To answer your first question, I joined my sorority because it was the most diverse out of all the sororities on my campus. I had several friends I had known since the beginning of college who were also in that sorority and I knew if my good friends could stand behind the sorority, I should at least see what they had to offer. My sorority also had what I was looking for in terms of our system of belief, ideals and charitable work.
You also asked why I didn't rush Sigma or Delta. I don't know if you saw one of my posts on one of the other pages, but there weren't ANY BGLOs chartered on our campus. Not one.
I knew there were three girls at my school who affiliated with the Deltas at a nearby campus but I never saw them around and they never posted anything on campus, in the campus paper or in the OBSS that said their rush process was beginning. There weren't any Sigmas at all... I hadn't even heard of them. AKAs really represented out of all the BGLOs even though they weren't chartered on our campus. I recieved an invite to rush them but I knew some of their sisters and I didn't like them (maybe it was because I lived with them and you get a whole different perspective of people after you live with them for a year). Which was really unfortunate because I know that AKA is a very strong organization and has a proud history. I would have loved to be a part of that but some of the individuals within the chapter would have made it a difficult for me to really enjoy the experience.
Lastly, I am an alumnae (just this past May) and as soon as I moved home, the local alumnae chapter of my sorority got in contact with me and provided me with a roster, schedule of events and meetings. It was nice to hear from them because a lot of my friends have moved away from home. So, to answer your question, my sorority is actually very active post graduation. We don't have graduate chapters but almumnae chapters all over this country and internationally that are still really invovled.
I hope I answered all your questions, please feel free to ask me anything else that comes to mind.
