Grad Students and Greek Life w/o Chapter at Grad School

[Jestor]

Thanks, guys.

Sound advice! I'm not sure how strong an alumni presence my fraternity has in the non-chapter school's area or indeed even in one area that has a chapter (due to chapter's newness), but I'll definitely look into that once I know for sure where I'm going.

And I'll definitely get to know fellow graduate students who are Greek at the very least.

Point well taken about the advisor/chaperone feeling.... and I certainly wouldn't impose myself on anyone.

Yes, it is always a pleasant surprise to meet a classmate who is also greek! I've met NIC, NPC, NPHC, and fellow NALFO greeks through my grad program, and it's nice to have that in common.

The institution that I am currently attending does not have greek life at the undergraduate level. It is kind of sad. Once I had on one of my sweatshirts in the library, and these young ladies walked up to me, very excited, and asked if Latina sororities were now allowed on campus! I felt bad when I had to tell them no.

Even though there are no greeks on my campus, I am involved with my own undergraduate chapter and one other in the area, so there are plenty of opportunities for involvement.

Good luck on your admissions!
