Can someone answer my question?

After that, you could volunteer for the chapter on your campus or join an alumnae chapter in your area. And once you learn more about the sorority you could become an advisor.

Alumnae initiation is NOT this easy, and it is done, when it is done (which is rarely) by invitation. You don't just fill out a form and get initiated. As the OP is searching to "fully experience college" alumna initiation is not what she wants. You cannot participate as an active member of a college chapter if you are an AI, any more than any other alumna can.

mruff77 - I would be sure to ask the Greek life office questions about housing and whether or not it's required of sorority members to live in the house. Also, whether the majority of women pledging are freshmen. If the answer to these two things is "yes" you might feel uncomfortable in a sorority or have a tough time receiving a bid. This is a generalization but it usually holds up.

Remember, if you do go into this, you will have time commitments you have to fulfill. No one is going to give you a "pass" on mandatory events because of your marital/mom status.

UNCC sororities are housed in a dorm. Since it's campus sponsored housing, they probably have more flexable rules about living in the house. Most chapters that have live-in rules are that way because of the need to pay the mortgage.

UNCC is not your typical "Southern" school like UNC Chapel Hill. It's also got a higher percentage of "Non-trad" students and students that are living at home and hoping to transfer to a different university later(which may account for the low Greek numbers). I don't think it could hurt to rush, but I wouldn't go in expecting a bid.

That's kinda what I thought, but I wasn't sure, and thought better to err on the side of caution. Thanks sis

I'm around, just not much anymore. I spend a lot of time in meetings, at bid openings, etc and am not as much at my computer as I used to be. And the BB is SLOOOW on GC.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! ALPHA FROG DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SPEAKING ABOUT A SUBJECT AT A COLLEGE YOU HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT!! I am so shocked that you would even give her false info for her to follow. All hail to UNC CH UGH enough!! No UNCC isn't like UNC-CH. For one the students aren't stuck up and think they are God's gift to the entire world just because their basketball team won a few cough championships. Congrats UNC .. you get the biggest prize for having convicts wear your school's paraphernalia. Enough about that rant. THE TRUTH IS THAT UNCC HAS A GREAT GREEK VILLAGE, HOUSING ALL OF THE NPC SORORITIES. AND AS FAR AS I KNOW IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE THERE UNLESS THERE ARE EMPTY ROOMS. THE UNIVERSITY OWNS ALL OF THE GREEK HOUSES. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME JUST DIFFERENT LETTERS ON EACH. BOTTOM LINE, JUST CALL THE OFFICE LIKE I SAID TO. DON'T LISTEN TO THE REST OF THESE IDIOTS WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND THAT WANT TO START A ARGUMENT ABOUT EVERYTHING ON GC. AND PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!

You are extremely rude and condescending...
Why not make your time on these forums productive by helping others who are clearly trying to help themselves ( coming to such a site ).
I am sure that you must have some valuable information in there which may be of use to someone who is seeking it. OR do you just come here to be much " better" at being rude and condescending...?

haha no I'm not slow, far from it. How did I just reiterate everything AF said. Alpha Frog said the sororities at UNCC live in dorms. Do you go to UNCC?? apparently not b/c if you did you would know that UNCC has a Greek Village where all of the NPC sororities HOUSES are! I don't want to put you down PeppyGPhiB, one of my best friends is one of your sisters, but perhaps you're the slow one. Or maybe you need to keep your nose out of where is doesn't belong; such as this. Last time I checked UNCC doesn't have a GPhiB chapter .

We have a chapter there, so I feel justified in telling you to suck it up. If you feel like you've been unfairly singled out and criticized, which is the sense I get from your indignant CAPSLOCK-heavy posts, LURK MOAR.

[DMBabyZTA]

holy geesh. I was just helping the girl out you guys. Damn get a life. PS Sigma Kappa: caps lock= emphasis. So glad since you have a chapter there that gives you some sort of authority. hmmm
