If everyone is saying it will not work and you want to see for yourself then try it. However....

We will NOT answer membership questions....sorry please see the stickies at the top of the AKA forum.

ETA
You may find that the time that sororities require (not just AKA) is a lot and you will not have time to join 895 sororities and make good grades.

I was not trying to ask membership questions. I just did not want to be denied membership for joing another organization. A friend of mine joined Sigma Sigma Sigma and then said I wanna be a Delta ! Well I guess you know how it ended.

It depends on the campus culture, and the attitude of the chapters. At my school, many people who ended up in D9 orgs were first members of other GLOS (Phi Sigma Pi, Delta Sigma Pi, APO).

And to answer your question about why you should keep your interest on the DL...

Members of the D9 value DISCRETION and HUMILITY. Often, people who are proclaiming from the rooftops that they want to be in a particular org are not humble about their pursuit. And if your friend was saying she wanted to be a Delta to everyone she met, that may have something to do with why she didn't make it.

Oh, sweetie... ok, listen, I haven't been here that long either but I'm telling you you are inviting more heat than I think you're probably ready to handle. I saw in another of your posts that you're a freshman at VCU (and on that note, posting similar questions all over different threads isn't going to do you well either), I know VCU has a greek system, I'm sure they have a greek office and lots and lots of information about how things work on THAT campus. Why trying to pledge 3 organizations at one time is a bad idea seems pretty self-evident to most of us; your just coming into the college/greek environment, it's a valid question for you. No one's saying it can't be done, but based on experience pledging even one organization, I think any alum would tell you that 3 is biting off more than you can chew. AND still manage to be a student. Why risk 3 memberships when you don't even have one?

Go to your greek office, speak to greeks in your classes, be discreet when wise and weigh your options with a realistic view toward how much you can handle and not flunk out.

Good luck!
