Does Your GLO take Grad Students?

usfBROOKEusf · #1 11-14-2003, 04:54 PM

I've been around GC for a few months now and I'm a regular reader. I keep noticing that quite a few people are asking about rushing (or going through recruitment) as a grad student, yet no one seems to know which specific orgs. offer bids to grad students. So now I'm really curious. Is there a nation wide policy for each GLO about this or is it considered on a chapter by chapter basis? Does anyone here on GC know what their org.'s policy is on grad students?

i think it's national.

The only one that I know off the top of my head that takes grad students is Phi Sigma Sigma (although i could be wrong!)

Kappa Delta does not take grad students- that's a national policy. AI is also very rare for us as well....

In Alpha Phi Alpha, if you have received an undergraduate degree, then you must join an Alumni Chapter.

(If there are exceptions, I have not yet heard of any.)

In Alpha Phi Omega, it is up to the chapter. Graduate students may join college chapters if the chapter and school allow it.

We take grad students!

But I know that we are the only ones in HAlifax that do...I don't think it's too common.

We have 3 ways a woman can join

-Undergrad
-Grad Student
-Professional

So in answer to your question, yes we accept grad students!

I do not think that DG does take graduate new members...I'm almost positive we don't...maybe I'm wrong. We are big on AI though.

Ok, years later, this makes me laugh after all the "controversy" lately...

I don't think that that is the case, so much, anymore.
Basically, you'd better be pretty awesome, like an astronaut or something, and someone who wants to get theirs hands-on with a chapter. And self-recommending is not a good way to go.

Isn't is actually true, that in most NIC and NPC do not take Grad Students?

Not to start a wee weeing contest, there is a difference between Social, and other Special Groups who use Greek Letters.

The Divine 9 also have their own structure so they do theirs differently.

Then, how long a go was this post started?

My sister Betas have already weighed in on this, but we accept members regardless of collegiate standing. I'm an alumna of 24 years and enjoy my active status in BSP.

From what I understand, Beta Sigma Phi is not a collegiate-based sorority, and is not an NPC group. We have 3 Beta Sigma Phi chapters in my town, and the only college we're near is a junior college. And the chapter members tend to be in their 30s and up...WAY up.

Can people please clarify if your organization accepts graduate students specifically in undergraduate chapters? I think that may have been the nature of the original question.

Yes. Theta Nu Xi does accept graduate students in undergrad chapters.
