I always wanted to be a film maker and I did africana studies because of my family background (My family is from Eritrea). Even though graduating with a degree in Film at UCLA is good, NYU is giving me and others the opportunity to go to Africa and make a documentary about the current events that are occurring in Eritrea and Ethiopia. Also I have never been to New York, I am really excited to live in the East Coast before going to Africa.

So given those plans, how come you want to join an NPHC Sorority, now?

it has been something that I have been wanting to do since freshman year. I honestly never took the time to do it because I was too busy studying all the time to try to keep my grades up so I can keep my scholarships. Now that I am all set for the fall, I want to finally do one of the things that I have been wanting to do for a long time.
I just keep 2nd guessing myself because it is my last semester as an undergrad, plus my family who never been in any org., or college don't really understand and keep telling me that its not worth it. I just came on here to see what people who are already in NPHC thinking about someone who might be doing the MIP process there final semester.

Sisterfriend,
Accept the invitation only if the sorority is your choice. Trust me, they already know this is your last semester in college. They probably know your goals. When sororities send out invitation, they normally do some research. Sororities and Fraternities do not send out blind invitations.

Why is it that you keep dodging and ignoring posts asking why you haven't introduced yourself in the AKA forum?

I was thinking the same thing!
Plus, why does she post stupid things like "Okay...." or "co-sign" without further explanation? Why is she wasting space?

Not to be mean, but, I will be meeting with some Los Angeles sorors this weekend... This will stop their process with the screen shots I am taking because it is making public of a membership process that is suppose to be private...
UCLAplaya:
If the UCLA chapter asked you into them membership of an NPHC sorority and you have the required letters and documents, you also signed an affidavit saying that you would keep this information private and discreet, within yourself, the chapter and loved ones.
You just broadcasted on the internet that you have commenced someone's membership intake process, and that you have been extended an invitation a membership. Meaning you have violated the trust and sanctity of this private matter jeopardizing your membership...
You are walking on very thin ice... I have reported before, I will do it again...
Cease and desist...

The excitement you have for your graduate school and future studies, should be the same excitement you have to serve your community through an NPHC sorority. If you're not sure you can handle the load of work these organizations entail (beyond the MIP process) perhaps you should think about it a few years more... 
Focus on your studies.

Ummm. Did you mean to quote me without looking at my profile??? I did not come through my Sorority through an MIP, I pledged...
Secondly, I posted it to see what she would say...
Lastly, I have quite a few degrees and am over a certain age, making me very ole skool. So, I am unsure about your meaning of your post?

LOL! Wow! You definitely misunderstood what I was saying. You asked the OP, "what makes you excited?" I quoted this question specifically for her, not you!
Obviously, she should express the same excitement in wanting to join an NPHC sorority - or any organization for that matter, that she expresses for her future studies, as they are both important, life-altering ventures. The OP also specifically mentioned MIP. I was going off of her previous post...
Of course, I wouldn't tell you to focus on your studies. That again, was for the OP. She was talking about her graduate program and I was simply responding that joining an organization doesn't seem to be her priority...

Please try to quote her post in order for her to read it...
