Why the interest in joining a sorority post-college? The alumnae don't have the same kind of structured programming and activities as you'd find in a college chapter. Why not join the Junior League, Sandpipers, etc.-- a women's volunteer organization that also involves socialization, leadership training, etc.
Just curious on what the big deal is-- sisterhood is just a fancy word for "friendship" and you can have a similiar experience in a civic organization or volunteer society.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I felt compeled to answer this question.
There is one simple word that comes to mind for me
tradition. To be a part of something that was started over/close too 100 years ago and have thousands of women go through the same thing as you did and anticipate future generations to experience the same thing is mind blowing and something that I want to be a part of. Yes there is the community and philantropic aspects but its bigger than that. THIS IS A SISTERHOOD THAT YOU ARE JOING FOR A LIFETIME, not just in college. Some of us, like me almost went "all the way", by that I mean being initiated, other had other life circumstances that happened to be more important and this is an outlet to finish what we've started.
I have something to add to a sisterhood and I know that I would be a great asset and also I can learn things to better myself. These are some of the reasons of why we are doing this.
Ok I think I'm done.
I hope I answered some of your questions.
