Pledging Undergrad vs. Graduate

In DST there are no exceptions to this because it does not hold true in our process. The alumnae process is the same as the collegiate process.

My post was in no way to imply that anyone's org operates that way. That is why I said my disclaimer first.

One of my implied points though was that there are things that you may be willing to do at 19 - 20 that you would never do at 30 - 35. Hence, the perceived difference between joining undergrad vs. grad.

We all remember the silly and fun things that we did when we were young and tend to look back on those events fondly. Well, I do anyway. Joining undergrad can be part of that youthful exuberance.

This is why we don't discuss membership-related topics....too much lane-swerving.

Thank you, LG.

To the OP: Never presume assumptions to be facts. Don't let the concern you expressed in your initial posting hold any weight regarding potentially becoming a part of an organization that is bigger than any undergraduate or graduate member or chapter.

Good luck to you...
