I mean, it could. Where the OP is located, Greek affiliation can be very important. I get why she would want to get involved. As you noted, there are other avenues of approach. We can help her look for them since she is clearly not as well-versed as us. I think Beta Sigma Phi would be a great resource.

I will say that I am the first one to jump on an OP if she comes here crying because she didn't get her "top" choice, "first" choice, or chose to suicide because she didn't see herself in those "other" chapters. I really am the first one to jump on that because it irritates me beyond anything. This one I get though. OP went to a an all-girl university and may have felt she missed out on something. I didn't take her post as trying to relive her college days or trying to go Greek because she was "too good" for any particular chapter that she now realizes she shouldn't have been so harsh. She genuinely wants to find sisterhood and connections. I admire that and believe that AI, should she do this, can be a great avenue of approach for some people.

FYP.

I think we'd all be a little less stabby if she wanted to pursue AI someplace where sorority affiliation isn't going to do squat for her socially.

On another note: when did this STEM acronym become a thing? If you studied biology, say you studied biology. If you studied engineering, say you studied engineering. It bugs.

You have no idea how close I came to saying, "bless your heart" for that very reason.
