People assume that having success at a social level doesn't factor into medical school admissions, but who doesn't want a physician who can empathize with them or at the very least seem like a normal person?

When I found out my physician was a not only greek but happened to be KD it totally sealed the deal that I would always go to them

Complete lane swerve, but I just went to a new doc the other day who noticed that I had an anchor charm on (my husband is Navy). He asked me if I was a DG, and said that his daughter just became a member this past year and he's been trying to learn about it for a bit now. I thought that was very sweet of a father to do.

Those circumstances really don't matter. Everyone has circumstances and considers themselves to be exceptions to the rule. Imagine how awesome life would be if our collegiate and alumnae/alumni/graduate chapters never got on our nerves or took more time than we had available. The OP made a conscious decision to disaffiliate and to share that info with us for a rather silly question, therefore...

...we wouldn't be typing about it if the OP had not created this thread. If the OP gets into a graduate program, he needs to learn now that he can choose to share info or keep info to himself. Whichever is his choice, but he can't stop people from receiving and responding once he releases the info. Coming after the fact and saying "you all don't knowwwwwwwwwww...cry...cry..." means nothing to most people, definitely myself included.

For the record, I love seeing Greek involvement on resumes. I don't have to tell y'all about the lessons you learn and skills you develop in Greek life.

But when you resign your membership in what is supposed to be a lifelong sisterhood/brotherhood... that is not what you put on a resume if you want to impress people. I mean, seriously.

How would you even word that? And what would you say if someone misreads and says, "Oh, you're an XYZ? Me too."? Would you take the opportunity to perp, or would you sheepishly own up to no longer being a member?
