Glad to be back......
I agree 110% w/ the second half of what you said, it is no joke, and there is NO 1/2 stepping at the Grad level and being an interest of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. poses an additional elememt to our quest because there is no Formal Rush as in undergrad (or the Grad chapters of other Orgs.), however I have not seen a decline on the Grad level in my area & even while in law school there were plenty of 'striving sisterfriends' of a variety of Orgs. and some of us made it along the way during our 3 years together and some of us are still waiting on God to say when (and IF) it will come to pass. But I must stay on the Grad level there is plenty of interest.

On the graduate level I believe that a reason for the decline may be that the organizations aren't seen. And it's not like you can just sign up you have to been chosen. So it's a little different. If the chapter isn't visible then people who are interested can't volunteer with them. I dont know but I dont think they go around saying what they are gonna be doing in the community. On the graduate level interests have to really be serious! Absolutely no half steppin'. I think it's a lot harder for you to become a member on the graduate level. You have to be seen by the chapter being active in the community and even if you are really active they dont have to see you. I dunno
