I know, right?
To the OP - you mentioned that the reason why you didn't pursue sorority membership earlier in your undergraduate career is that you had lots of friends at your university. It seems to me that perhaps you're considering pursuing sorority membership because you'll be moving to a place where you don't know anyone, which is fine and the reason why many people seek membership, but I don't know if that's the best reason to do so at this point in your academic career. You're going to meet people in your graduate program who will have common interests (field of study) and a clear understanding of the responsibilities of a graduate student. If you do receive a bid, you're most likely going to be in a pledge class that is majority freshmen students, who are really at a different place in life than you will be.
Someone upthread mentioned the service organizations. Another group that you may want to consider would be Beta Sigma Phi. There seem to be many happy members who have posted here on GC.
Whatever you decide, best of luck to you.
