Is there a number for you to call?

my sorority, Omega Phi Alpha, allows students who are grad students to pledge.

So I called greek life who gave me the email of someone else to contact. Course she's the prospective member liason so that makes sense.

I emailed her and hopefully I'll get an answer soon. *Crosses fingers*

Is your contact someone from an individual sorority chapter or someone from panhel/greek life office? I'm confused.

I kinda got the impression from the guy I talked to that it was one of the staff, but she's not on the staff list for Greek Life. I'm pretty sure Panhel. and not any individual chapter. Sorry about that. Being patient is hard. lol

You could always....

No, wait, I can't bring myself to go there.

Hi all,

I am transferring to a school where I've heard a lot of transfer juniors go through recruitment. The problem is, I will have completed my first degree by the end of this semester and will be pursuing a second bachelor's at that school. Do you think this will cause any problems? I would really like to be part of greek life but I am worried that the new school won't let me go through recruitment because I have a BA already. I will be 22 years old and in junior standing in the fall. I tried to contact the greek life office many times but they never return my call or respond to my emails so please help~

If it's NPC membership you're interested in, some NPC sororities will not extend membership at the collegiate level to women who already hold a Bachelor's Degree. There are a few who do. Do some research and find out if the sororities at your school even allow graduate membership. The search function here might also be helpful.

Additionally, pay close attention to the 2nd post of this thread.

Even if you're allowed to participate in recruitment, whether or not you'll actually receive a bid is an entirely different matter.

At my school, you're allowed to rush and pledge as a second degree student. One of the girls that went through recruitment this semester was a second degree who graduated from another college. She got a bid from another chapter

I just got my official acceptance letter to ISU!!!! Yeah, I'd been expecting it but it's still exciting. I'm so ready to move! Still waiting on an answer from greek life. Patience is becoming my mantra. lol

The school can dictate that a PNM is allowed to go through recruitment, but the individual sorority determines whether or not a PNM can pledge. Your school cannot tell an NPC group that they can pledge a second degree student if it is against their international policy.
