I realize I am going to get struck by lightning when I say this, but being an active member of my school's SGA and traveling to other schools, I have found that many students are:

1. Had/Have intentions of pursuing their organization of choice on a grad level because they:
A. Don't get along with or like the members of the organization of their choice on their campus.
B. Have majors in fields that make it IMPOSSIBLE to realistically pursue their choice organization on an undergrad level (Health & Engineering fields come to mind).
C. Feel a closer connection to the older grad members than the younger undergrad members.
D. Organization of choice is not on choice campus and remember, we are SUPPOSED to be going to school to get an education.

A. I'm not coming down on you, OthelloSTreet, but IMO...that's some BS. Do these people realize that the VERY people they don't like or get along with WILL become their SISTER OR BROTHER? If this is the ONLY deterrant, as one of our former upremes said..."We don't need you."

B. I'm not buying that either. As long as there isn't distance learning going on...I don't buy that either. Heck, my lss were Health and Engineering majors and they did fine. It's called being ORGANIZED, DETERMINED, etc.

C. Puhleeze. Folks don't feel closer to their parents at that age, so I know this is STRAIGHT UP BS. LMAO

D. I think that HK already stated this, so I guess he or she cannot seek their choice if it isn't there.

Come with some better EXCUSES.

Miss Priss, NO, I don't think the organizations want to know what the non-members' perceptions are nor care, so to speak. The organizations have their jobs to do. There are many that the organization serves who are quite pleased with the services rendered. (IMO)
