If not, then kindly support their events with your presence.
There is a fine line....and one would not want to find herself in a predicament. IMHO...

To me when you mean joining them, your a financial member of that chapter. So on your financial card instead of a graduate chapter, you have an undergrade chapter's name. If you are invited to a meeting then go (but not all there meetings, just one is fine), but don't sit up in there and vote or give your opinions when they are handling chapter/sorority business. Since they are your sorors, there is nothing wrong with getting to know them on a personal level. If they invite you to a community service event, then go. The more hands the quicker the work. If they have a fundraiser and are short and if they ask, then you probably want to go to that. . But my opinion is wait until the invite you or it is a open community event. Sometimes we grad sorors go to undergrad chapter events to show support and also donate funds. Just being sisterly.
Plus, some sororities graduate chapters are not in the same location as the undergrad chapters. Some graduate chapters are many miles away. There is one sorority on campus that is like that. They have an undergraduate chapter here, but the graduate chapter 2 hours away. So I can see if you don't want to do all that traveling (budget won't support it etc.) why you may want to interact with some of your sorors closer to your location.
Plus, I thought this was just a general question, not pertaining to one sorority
