Hi There,
You hit the nail on the head about why grads didn't join as undergrads but now want to. The reason I didn't join a sorority as an undergrad is because CSUDH didn't have any sororities when I originally was there in the late 80's early 90's. And when I went back to school to finish my BA in 96 the only sororities were NPHC or Latina based. I know they do recruit others but I didn't think it was for me. Plus at the time I already thought I was too old.
I am just so glad that Phi Sig was the sorority that won the extension bid at CSUDH. It has been an absolutely amazing experience and i have met and become friends with women that I probably never would have met other wise. Including my Sapphire Sister Ana who got married in December and honored me with the request to be her witness at her wedding. That was such an awesome honor, and imagine, I would have missed out if we hadn't joined Phi Sig.
I recommend that all chapters make sure to actively mention in their recruitment that they do recruit Grads. That may bring in one or two more sisters that you would have probably missed getting to know. Who knows that person could end up as one of your best friends.
Always aiming high,
Carolyn
