It is by no means a sure thing (I know that Sigma while colonizing at Drexel University in Philadelphia only took about 6 seniors, and this was fall semester) but it might be worth a try if bid day did not happen for them yet.
Otherwise there are some sororities that allow for graduate membership but mine is not one of them so I cannot give you specific details from personal experience. I also believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) that the chapter still may not choose to take graduate members, even if their organization allows them to.
Furthermore graduate level classes may not give you adequate time to pursue active sorority membership, even if you did have the desire. Also as the population of a collegiate chapter will (likely) be mostly undergraduates, you may not feel as much of a connection with them emotionally and socially. Just some things to think about as you're considering this. Best of luck to you, whatever you decide and let us know how it goes!  |
You're definitely right. Sigma Kappa did expand to ASU this spring. I am student teaching this semester, though (meaning I'm almost never on campus), and didn't see their new chapter signs until the tenth, which was their bid day =/ Supposedly if they still have openings they will make exceptions, but obviously I would not expect anything lol. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong too, as I know absolutely nothing about Greek life except for what my brother has told me about his fraternity at Loyola New Orleans.
I know that there are a few sororities at each university that say they take grad students, but as you said, it does not mean they will take any. I guess I will just have to wait and see! Thanks for all of your help!
