Also, how can I learn about the different sororities and why I may want to choose one over another? I'm lost, but would love to be part of a great group with a purpose. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!! E-mail me @ Kayagirl80@aol.com. Thanks!!

First you need to figure out what kind of sorority you want to join. NPC, non-collegiate, NPHC, etc.

You might also want to do a search on GreekChat for info on graduate membership instead of relying on people e-mailing you with information.

I doubt you'll get much answers if you have to ask a forum full of strangers HOW you can learn about the sororities and WHY you'd want to choose one over another. That's stuff you have to figure out for yourself.

I found this forum because I was wondering the same thing. I was always nervous about joining greek life and I just wasn't really impressed with the greek atmosphere at my undergraduate institution. I am attending a much larger university as a graduate student and I think that I am ready to go greek. However, I am also 26, a wife, a mom and a professional, so I think a sisterhood of other women in the same or similar position, would be GREAT. I plan to look into my opportunities when I get to grad school. I want to look into all of the opportunities for gad students, because you just don't hear about them as much.

Have you looked into Beta Sigma Phi?

hello,
This thread is quite old but still i think i should give it a shot.
I am outside US right now but i have big plans to go to graduate school in US.
I have heard so much about greek life in American colleges. so I am very excited to experience the sisterhood myself. I would really join a sorority. I know that graduate school is challenging academically but we also shouldn't forget to live, get involved and have a good time.
I have been looking around for info about the sororities and found that some consist mainly white women or african americans.
I am ethnically asian and wondering how that would affect the recruitment process.
Ideally, I would like to be in a place where ethnicity isn't an issue but interests and personality types. I guess I should opt for a multicultural sorority which allows graduate students.
Just my thoughts. I find some posts here very helpful like people posting that the graduate school/ university they are in, have the sororities with graduate students.
I am looking into such schools. so just wanna say 'thank you'.
cheers.
