Grad student interested in rushing at UGA

[lucgreek]

I'm almost 100% sure graduate students are not allowed to rush under NIC regulations. I know of a few sororities that allow grad school members (Phi Sigma Sigma, is one I think), but I can't think of any fraternities that do.

Plus, what would you have in common with mixing with a bunch of freshman girls or hanging out with a freshman pledge class?

Wrong. NIC does not interfere with the membership selection of it's members in anyway. Each fraternity is allowed to set it's own standard of membership.

While the NIC does not interfere with membership selection a LARGE percentage of NIC organizations restrict membership to undergrads. I do not even know how to go about looking for those who do not.

By talking to members of the NIC organizations.

I think he meant more en masse. For the OP he'd need to look at every chapter on his campus individually and find out, but there probably isn't a way to make a complete overall list without going to each national website and checking one by one either.

Unless you know, someone else on GC's done it before.

I know what he meant, but there would be no point in having a list like that. Knowing that ABC Fraternity accepts grad students is useless if ABC Fraternity doesn't exist at University of State.

Eh, it wouldn't help the OP, but it's one of those "interesting facts" that I personally enjoy learning about GLOs. It really wouldn't be "useful" just interesting.

Really? This is the first I've heard that. Are you sure you don't mean NIC organizations on your campus?

I think he's right. I'm in Grad School right now, and I'm active.
