I am graduating early and hope to go elsewhere for grad school. i have been told that joining a sorority in grad school is not an option.

i was wondering because im not "joining" an org if it was a different situation. if i was just becoming active again, if that is a viable option? i was told going alumnae makes you ineligible for positions or littles. is this true? has anyone had this experience before?

I'm sorry, I'm somewhat confused.

You want to get involved where? You said you still spend a considerable amount of time at the old school (where you joined), right? Where is the new chapter you want to join? You mean, at your graduate school? Like, there is a chapter there and you want to become active?

Well if that's the case, I can tell you there have been other threads about that very topic, and in graduate school you're not going to have that kind of time. And there are other factors which come into play that generally work against grad students being involved in an undergraduate chapter.

That said, every NPC member sorority has its own policy on graduate students. But if you are an alum, you can't go back and be an active, is my take. However you'd best ask this question of your own Headquarters.
