What do i need to do before seeking membership in a graduate chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority?
Q. I am entering my senior year at an HBCU. The DST chapter at my school is suspended until 2011. I have decided to join a graduate chapter when i graduate next year. I want to know what i have to do to prepare myself for membership into the organization. What are the requirements? What will make me a better candidate for membership? Thanks ;)

A. Besides the obvious things (2.5 GPA, Community Service, getting involved with the local chapter), the best advice I can give you is to be patient. I just pledged my first Alumnae line this year, and before them, the last line crossed back in 1997. Alumnae chapters may not have a line every year, so if they don't have a line after you graduate, don't lose hope. Take the time to get involved in your community and any events the local chapter may be hosting. The more you put yourself out there for them to see you, the better your chances will be. Make sure they see who you are and get to know you, because RUSH on the Alumnae level is not broadcast everywhere; it is done by invitation. Don't stalk them though! lol

AKA Sorority: What is included in the graduate chapter membership cost?
Q. I heard that the graduate chapter membership cost can range from $1000 to $1500, depending on the size of the chapter. What does this cost pay for or what is included in the cost?

A. As someone who has worked in the fraternity/sorority arena at universities, maybe I can help answer your question. Although I am not 100% knowledgeable about sorority membership costs and dues, I know that the reason why the cost is fairly steep ($1000 to $1500) is to cover your membership since you'd be entering at the graduate level. Unfortunately, it doesn't pay for any shiny necklaces or plaques or anything, only your membership. I had one gentleman with the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity tell me that graduate chapters charge more since you enter later than at the undergraduate level. It is also a way to weed out the serious contenders for membership from the pretenders. Having been exposed to the Greek organizations both at a… [cont.]

A. Hello there, Firstly, is the chapter in your community having intake this spring? Sometimes if they are an announcement will be posted on their website. Do you know any members of the chapter near you? This is probably the best way to meet the sorors and in turn find out about an upcoming rush/informational. Be sure that you have lots of community service and try to attend some of the events held by the chapter that are open to the public. I assume that you have graduated from a 4 year accredited college with a GPA of 2.5 or better. Remember , our motto is Sisterhood, Service and Scholarship so we want women in our organization that have all of these qualities. Hope this helps!

A. Alpha Kappa Alpha no longer pledge. Aspirants go through the MIP. It won't be easy getting into the grad chapter since it's by invitation only. If you know 4 members, then they will be able to tell you when the grad chapter has community service open to the public. Just make sure you continue to do community service.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Graduate Chapter?
Q. I'm interested in becoming a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha through graduate chapter. I am aware of the process and requirements, but I understand that the chapters do not like being solicited. I've contacted chapters for information about public events, as well as checked calendars that are open to the public. Needless to say, there are none.

You would be surprised how many people that you know are members and you have no idea. I had a mentor that I had known for several years and I had no idea she was a member until she had an Alpha Kappa Alpha shirt on one day. That is the best route I have seen and has been the most successful for me.

A. Initially Xi Omega was the first chapter in D.C and the area just expanded to three chapters. Rho Mu Omega being the last one in 1988, which is my chapter. Xi Zeta Omega is the other chapter. We work together on many projects and are not as separate as it seems. You can check out the websites and/or attend functions just to see which chapter fits you best. Each chapter all over the world is different, but we don't profess that one is better than the other. The D.C. area is a very big area and Sorors join the chapter that they are most comfortable with. Feel free to visit www.rhomuomega.org to check out my chapter in particular.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Graduate Chapter I need some hope people?
Q. Why is it sooo hard to join a graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Graduate chapter? I have been trying since late 2006 and nothing yet. I have been attending events and sending emails but I just keep getting invites for event but no "ins" with anyone in the chapter. I feel like you have to put on heirs to even be invited into this organization. I have been wanting to join this sorority since I was a child but it seems as if they are not having it! Unfortunately when I was in college, the whole drama went down with hazing so I was unable to apply. So right now I feel so defeated but I will continue fighting. any advice?

A. First, the graduate chapters don't accept new members every year as an undergraduate chapter might. It can be years in between. They are probably very aware of who you are, but if they have not decided to let new members in, there is not much you can do. I am not sure what you mean by "ins" with anyone as the members cannot really share certain information with you other than events that are open to the public. As for putting on "heirs" (should be airs, smile), that should be the last thing. Be yourself because if you are not it will come out and that's not good either.

Am I too old to think about graduate chapter of a sorority?
Q. I will be 29 years old in the fall. I graduated undergrad in 2003. I thought about pledging and have been thinking about it since then. Is it too late to do it now. I also have been thinking about going to grad school, but since i have a small baby its so much harder to start. I have attended some of the events the graduate chapter in my area have but not many. I just started doing community service. Does this mean I will never have networking opportunities? My girlfriends from undergrad all pledged undergrad. What will they think if I pledge graduate? Or what do people think generally about an almost 30 year old married mother pledging graduate chapter.?

A. No you are no too old, however, you may encounter some resistance amongst your sorors seeing as how you may be viewed as someone whose just "paying dues" simply because you are pledging later in life. I say if its really something you want to be apart of, then go for it!

Joining an Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Graduate Chapter?
Q. Greetings to all, I've always had a strong passion for being a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and I'm currently considering further displaying my interest and seeking membership in a graduate chapter. Here's my concern, I initially sought membership as a junior while in undergrad and unfortunately I was not extended an invitation to join due to the fact, I believe, because I didn't get alone with a few of the girls. For the most part I bonded with many and I've always been very respectful but I will not allow ANYONE to disrepect me, my family, or my friends, while I'm standing there. There was an incident with a few of the girls and myself due to the fact that one of them disrespected my sister by being rude and pushing her and… [cont.]

A. I would not let anyone deter you from obtaining your goal. The key is to be the type of individual the graduate chapter would like to extend an invitation to-that is someone doing community service, attending the grad chapter's programs ,and getting to know some of the graduate members. There may be someone you know through friends or family members, church members, etc. that may know one of the graduate members who may be willing to put in a good word for you. Sorry, that your experience as an undergrad was disheartening. A current member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.

A. Focus on law and subordinate things like sororities. Get ready for the competition to eat you alive. If you insist, join a legal (co-ed) fraternity. Try going to the office of student affairs for some advice.

I would like to pledge Delta Sigma Theta, but my schools chapter is suspended till after I graduate.?
Q. I am very interested in and would like to pledge Delta Sigma Theta, but my schools chapter is suspended till after I graduate. I was wondering if I would be allowed to pledge at a nearby school and if so, how would I go about doing that. I really do not want to transfer schools but am very interested in joining this organization. I am aware that there is graduate chapters but just want to know if there are other options. I attend an HBCU and I have always, since childhood, wanted to be a part of this organization, but thanks for that option.

A. I think that you would have to transfer to another school and pledge. I know a boy that went to summer school at another school and they had a summer line. He made the line and then came back to our school in the fall. You can always do that. Do some research about nearby schools or schools in your hometown. Since you will be from a different chapter than the one on your campus, I am pretty sure that you will be able to wear your letters because usually you cant if your chapter is suspended on campus. Grad chapter is okay but undergrad is way better. Good Luck. -red-

Entrance into Graduate Chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha is by invitation only. Here is some information from our National Website: Process The Sorority's official graduate Membership Intake Process (MIP) is by invitation only through one of our local graduate chapters and may not be solicited.
