Looking to join a collegiate sorority as an undergrad. AND grad. student.

adpiuf,

Thanks for the comments.

Since I do not have a bachelor's degree yet, could I still rush NPC as an upperclassman? I don't want to focus on that if most sororities would reject upperclassman, but would look into it if there's a chance.

The thing is, I haven't decided on a graduate program (it's narrowed down to 2), and really am not into the "intense" nature of grad. school like some graduate students are.

The few graduate classes that I'm taking now are so easy.

I have so much time on my hands, especially compared to my freshman year of college.

I did not have the time or money to participate in a sorority in college, but have all the time imaginable now. I spend less than 10 hours a week in class and doing homework. It's ridiculously easy and will remain that way in the foreseable future. I don't have a job or any other responsibilities tying me down, and am looking for an activity that really takes a lot of time. I haven't met many people here yet (just moved here), and want the friendships that Greek life offers-- I'm really looking for a more intense involvement than just some civic group that meets every once and again.

I'm not sure what community activities would provide the same close-knit group. I've done volunteering, which was rewarding but did not really lead to close relationships. Professional/work organizations really don't appeal to me. I am not that interested in career pursuits, and don't have a whole lot in common with the folks typically in them (i.e., people who are totally into their careers, are older, or otherwise very gung-ho). There isn't a Junior League in my city, and I'm not sure what other groups really have the "social" aspect. I want something that can be a lifelong involvement, and that is a bit more engrossing than just volunteerism and intramural sports.
