All the sororities mentioned are NPC sororities. The one i was most interested in is Alpha Phi. This is why I was wondering if it's bad that they've moved off campus. it's hard for me to get a straight answer asking around my school

I don't think you're even allowed to pledge an NPC sorority that's not recognized by the college. That's the reason I was asking.

I sort of realized this since from what I've heard, any of the girls they pledge after those initial girls can't become alumni which sounded fishy to me not to mention in my school they call these sororities/fraternities underground which sounds bad. ok thank you for the help it's a sad realization but I guess I'll rush the on campus sororities even harder next semester and hope I can find my match

That's your best bet. My campus didn't have any "underground" organizations, but joining an organization that the school's administration doesn't recognize seems like a bad idea in and of itself. Becoming an alumna is also important because though the collegiate years are amazing, they are four out of your next 60+. Go through recruitment and be open minded and you'll likely have a good chance of meeting a group of girls you like.

In regards to the hazing rumors you mentioned, take them with a grain of salt. If you for any reason do experience hazing, you can always resign from the organization and report it to the university. (And should).

I agree about the alumni aspect, that's what made me think to write on here and as for the hazing rumors the only reason I'm not more skeptical is because people here seem almost proud to have made it through although I agree people like to exxagerate.
thank you for your help!

@kd4me - thank youu i agree I checked the official website and my school isn't listed. It's disappointing but hopefully it'll all work out and I'll find the right sorority for me with time

edit: by "here" i mean at my school not this forum of course haha
