Law school after graduation

BDPDTD · #1 04-17-2010, 01:43 PM

Hello!
I am a proud Delt. I graduate in the fall. The law school I have been accepted to has a Delt chapter. Can I be active in this chapter or will I be shunned because I am alumni? I know every chapter is different but my current university states that alumni attending grad school can stay active. This school has a undergrad, grad, doctarates, and law school program. I am still fairly young, 21, and I was just worried they would trun me away even though I will be in law school for three years. That is basically like a sophmore joining for rush. Any opinions? I will also be willing to pay dues and work my butt off.
Thanks.

See if they need any young advisors. If you held an office in your previous chapter or had any big wins there, maybe you can be an asset in that respect. I'm not sure you're going to have the time to be a full fledged member.

We can't answer that question for you because context matters.

But, your Delt contacts can.

I suggest you start law school and THEN see if you want to be active in anyway with the Delt chapter. You may find that you have more than enough on your plate as a first year law student.

What Kevin and DaffyKD said. I'll only add that I'm pretty sure you won't have time to be active your first year in law school, nor will you want to feel the pressure to be involved. You'll have more than enough to keep you busy.

Good points. Law school is alot of work. Hours of case studies and passing the bar. It would be best for me to get a feel for it then see what I can do. I guess I just enjoy working hard for my chapter and Delta Tau Delta but need the time to get my own life started as well. If any people have similar experience in grad or law school then answer my post or PM me. Thank you for all your valid advice.
