Re: Question
Any PNM going through recruitment should join a sorority for the chapter at the university, and not for any sort of "hereafter" she might experience post-college. Your opinions, perceptions and desires change dramatically post-college. Sorority Alumnae life is more of a friendship and support group than a tangible networking system that will get you a 6-figure dream job.
Collegians should join a sorority that they are compatible with at the university level. Once you're out in the real world, sorority life is not as all-consuming as in college, and you will quickly have other obligations, like a job, family and other civic memberships to occupy your time, along with alumnae opportunities (optional) you choose to be involved with.
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion on this, of course, but if I were a PNM, I'd want to join a sorority for the people who are in it NOW. I think I learned my lesson at a job I hated, thinking that if I just "stuck it out" I would eventually be in a better place. I was wrong. I can certainly apply the same logic to membership in a GLO. You have to like it now. Putting in "your time" on a resume or a membership doesn't make it any better. Live in the present. The future will be that much more rewarding, and the past something to reflect back on with warmth and affection,
