Organizations after undergrad that are like fraternities in terms of brotherhood?

[Kevin]

I'm a little late to this party, but if OP is still reading, he needs to contact the Greek Life office on his campus to find out what the situation is. Many fraternities probably do allow graduate students. If he's at an SEC school, he may have a great chance to join one of the lower tiered houses.

The OP seems to have only wanted a definitive "yes" and list of the specific fraternities.

Contacting Greek Life is too much research for the OP, as is searching Google and contacting some fraternities.

To go back to naraht's question about NPHC, a graduated student interested in the NPHC should not contact the Greek Life office of that school. Most Greek Life offices won't know. If they offer assistance at all, the most they will do is give the person the contact info for the collegiate chapter(s), NHQ(s), or possibly the alumnae/alumni/graduate chapter(s). The person can and should access that info without the Greek Life office.

Amen...because Google.

To the op, I am a fraternity man. Yes, some fraternities allow graduate students to pledge. Selection of new members is up to the chapter.

That being said, you can rush, we can not tell you if you will be given a bid.

Well I am back after doing some research on my own, the latest posts were very helpful but all I really asked for was people to not give me suggestions on how to live my life, just answer my question. You see, throughout my life I have had super strict helicopter parent types that have micromanaged my life and told me what I should and should not do, that has left me with some issues which have slowly been resolved through the years.

That said, I did find a few organizations to get involved in for the feelings of a brotherhood and now I will be looking into rushing some fraternities as a grad student. I don't want to do my grad studies at SEC schools because I know that this is the conference where schools are very strict about Greek Life, more so than anywhere else in the nation.

Things have been going better for me and I want to say to all of you who have PM'd me that your messages have not been ignored. I look forward to going to grad school and will continue to do research on whether grad students can rush a fraternity. Google does not have much info on this, it all leads me to discussion forums where users are practically replying saying "why would you want to do that?". So far, things aren't looking too good.

You can just reply to the PMs without the derivative of "I've been receiving PMs, you meanies."

Good luck to you.

I really, strongly hope you are not choosing a grad school based on Greek life.

How convenient that the troll ignores the recent thread of a grad student getting a bid. Course that poster seemed like a normal individual.

Nah, the south is just a bad fit for me overall TBH.

I checked it out and tbh it gave me hope. I can't find too much stuff on google about grad students rushing a fraternity and getting bids so the thread is more of an exception and in a good way too. So far from what I have looked into, it seems like most of the bigger fraternities at state schools like say a Florida St for example only give bids to undergrads and prefer freshmen because they know they can get more money out of them (they will pay for 4 years).

You live in SD (lucky!!!!), any ideas of how things are like at UCSD or San Diego St?

Please tell us what you know about what it costs to operate a fraternity.

He knows everything about money because he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth like we all were and his parents were too strict and STEM and blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Yeah, this old woman was up until 1 AM last night dancing her butt off and he was probably sitting in "VIP" paying $100 for a $15 bottle of vodka, so he can suck it.
