I always wanted to be a film maker and I did africana studies because of my family background (My family is from Eritrea). Even though graduating with a degree in Film at UCLA is good, NYU is giving me and others the opportunity to go to Africa and make a documentary about the current events that are occurring in Eritrea and Ethiopia. Also I have never been to New York, I am really excited to live in the East Coast before going to Africa.

So given those plans, how come you want to join an NPHC Sorority, now?

it has been something that I have been wanting to do since freshman year. I honestly never took the time to do it because I was too busy studying all the time to try to keep my grades up so I can keep my scholarships. Now that I am all set for the fall, I want to finally do one of the things that I have been wanting to do for a long time.
I just keep 2nd guessing myself because it is my last semester as an undergrad, plus my family who never been in any org., or college don't really understand and keep telling me that its not worth it. I just came on here to see what people who are already in NPHC thinking about someone who might be doing the MIP process there final semester.

Sisterfriend,
Accept the invitation only if the sorority is your choice. Trust me, they already know this is your last semester in college. They probably know your goals. When sororities send out invitation, they normally do some research. Sororities and Fraternities do not send out blind invitations.

The excitement you have for your graduate school and future studies, should be the same excitement you have to serve your community through an NPHC sorority. If you're not sure you can handle the load of work these organizations entail (beyond the MIP process) perhaps you should think about it a few years more... 
Focus on your studies.

Ummm. Did you mean to quote me without looking at my profile??? I did not come through my Sorority through an MIP, I pledged...
Secondly, I posted it to see what she would say...
Lastly, I have quite a few degrees and am over a certain age, making me very ole skool. So, I am unsure about your meaning of your post?

LOL! Wow! You definitely misunderstood what I was saying. You asked the OP, "what makes you excited?" I quoted this question specifically for her, not you!
Obviously, she should express the same excitement in wanting to join an NPHC sorority - or any organization for that matter, that she expresses for her future studies, as they are both important, life-altering ventures. The OP also specifically mentioned MIP. I was going off of her previous post...
Of course, I wouldn't tell you to focus on your studies. That again, was for the OP. She was talking about her graduate program and I was simply responding that joining an organization doesn't seem to be her priority...

Did you get an invitation to join on paper or just an invite to the rush? You have a lot of research to do IN REAL LIFE and not on a message board...

Don't join.
Save your Money.
Save them the grief.
You're too 'busy', remember?

So are you only considered a member of a sorority while IN SCHOOL?
Color me surprised.
I guess I'd better turn my pin and my letters in now, because I haven't actually been a member for 2 years now in that case.
