Grad Students Rush?

There are some old AI threads on here, and some do end successfully, but that's a whole different can of worms.

The bottom line is that second semester of senior year is too late to decide you want to get involved in an activity designed for undergraduates.

See thread http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...t=67042&page=3 , there are eight listed where the Nationals responded to the poster that they do allow graduate students to join (and not all responded). *However*, in that thread as here, it is quite clear that even if the sorority does, it doesn't mean that the *school* allows it.

I'm not convinced that the information on that thread is correct. I think the poster may have confused AI with rushing/pledging as a grad student. They are not the same thing.

Agreed, but I thought it was at least a relevant thread.

I decided that actually calling UCA and U of Alabama might help. I got voicemail at U of A (and didn't leave a message) but from UCA, I got a nice woman in the greek affairs office who said that yes, University of Central Arkansas allows it and it has happened there, but it is fairly rare. I figure any information beyond *that* can be gotten after grad student acceptance...

UCA has ASA, AST, DZ, SK & Tri-Sigma.

This was posted in 2006 and the quoted post implied that her data was gathered before that.

Even if this information was accurate then, it certainly may not be the case now.
