Possible Pledging For An Online Student?

She said she was interested in AKA. Not cool to be recruiting for your own organization.

Oh, my apologies! I didn't read more than a couple comments in the thread. I thought this student was being told that Greek life wasn't possible for her due to distance. I should have been more thorough in my reading.

Because my organization is not even in the same category as the groups typically discussed here, extending a hand of friendship has always been looked upon favorably here on GC. (At least in the years when I was very active in the past.) I have seen the same happen numerous times with Junior League and others. No harm intended! I just hate to see an eager person turned away due to logistics.

If it is sisterhood you are after, Beta Sigma Phi has chapters all over the world, and we have active online chapters that might feel like home for you.

Please understand that the Beta Sigma Phi experience is NOT the same as a collegiate sorority experience or even the alumni experience. However, it can provide the network of friendship, sisterhood, tradition, and service that may appeal to you.

I hate to see people give up on Greek tradition and sisterhood just because they didn't have a traditional college experience!

These are not the same types of organizations. A woman can be a member of an NPC sorority, or an NPHC sorority, and also be a member of Beta Sigma Phi. Most BSP chapters are not affiliated with a university or college. Most BSP members are adults. There are collegiate chapters and college students are members, but most are not.
I'll agree it's not cool to be recruiting in the same thread, though.

Yep. I just saw a woman looking for a home, and she was being told no. I jumped too quickly! I am sorry.

Your assessment of BSP is accurate. Thanks.

Meanwhile, the OP who started today's Hi! thread IS looking for information on Beta Sigma Phi!
