I recently came to the conclusion that I would really like to join a sorority . Thing is, I didnt when I had the chance ( in my exchange year) and I read about organisations/sororities foe people who decide on joining after graduating (in the US).

Now I was wondering, does anyone happen to know about similar organisations in Germany?
We have our own traditional kind of fraternities/sorities, but they are quite different from what I feel American ones are about and I have never been quite so interested to them in terms of becoming a member.

So I googled and found Delta Sigma Theta seem to have a Germany Alumnae chapter, but they seem to be traditionally black and I'm not.

So, maybe someone knows about other organisations.

Thank you!

Traditionally or better yet, historically Black does not mean only Black. Since you are doing the research, research the history of sororities and fraternities in America past and present. In doing so, you will find that due to the long history of racism in America, many organizations are also historically white; however, this doesn't mean only white. All fraternities and sororities in America now have members of all races and cultures and cannot discriminate against anyone.

As far as finding American sororities in Germany besides NPHC (historically Black) organizations that also conduct alumnae intake, you might not. Sigma Gamma Rho (also historically Black) also has an alumnae chapter in Germany.

Good Luck and please do some research.
