Sorority Involvment...sorry it's long!

On an unrelated topic: Have you considered the consequences of getting an MBA at your age? You are going to be virtually unhireable-- an MBA will not be considered for entry level jobs, and an MBA without any legitimate post-college work experience will not be considered for an executive level job. The MBA is a more useful career transition degree, not a stepping stone because you graduated early and/or don't know what to do next with yourself and your career. You are much better off working for at least 2 years before getting an MBA.

If you must have the MBA now, forget the sorority idea completely. Join the American Marketing Association, IABC, AD2 or one of many professional organizations in the community-- there will be plenty of service and social opportunities and networking opportunities. For "sisterhood," join a church group. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but at this point in your education/life, the sorority boat has passed and it is time to move forward.

This would be the post in question, OTW. In my opinion, a poster who comes here looking for sorority-related advice does not need to be subjected to unsolicited advice about her career path.

Then she should have left her life issues out of it when she first posted.

Honey, if you are getting married AND getting an MBA, you have bigger things to worry about than sorority life. You have adult life about to hit you smack in the face. Take some time to let your marriage get rooted properly before you go off spending tons of time away.

Let's face it. If you are already going to be spending time getting your MBA, are you going to want to spend you free time with your husband or your 18-year-old new member class studying the sorority histiory, etc.

I don't foresee your choices as being compatible with one another.

Oh, and I don't care if people don't like my posts. Go cry to someone else if you don't like it.
