Recruitment as a grad student

Isn't that kind of like saying that Greek Life would have to know each group's membership selection policies re grades & wouldn't allow someone with grades below all groups' minimums to sign up for rush? Because that's a problem we discuss on here all the time - Panhel's grade requirements to enroll in rush being dramatically lower than that of the individual sororities.

I do agree that contacting the chapters directly is not a good plan at all. At any rate, no matter where you get your information from, just remember that because a chapter can do something doesn't mean they will.

No, it is not. If a Greek Adviser doesn't know whether grad or married students are allowed in her groups, she should be fired.

Being a little older and a little wiser than your standard 18 year old freshman, if I am permitted to go through rush, I will have no expectations. I know one group lets in grad students, but that does not mean they will extend me a bid. I realize that there may be a great chance that I will get cut after round one or round two should I go through formal, simply because the groups on campus can't accept grad students or simply do not want an older woman involved in their greek organization.

I have my fingers crossed that this isn't a new question for our Greek Life office. Guess we'll see!
