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.

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

A. I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, and if you do not have a Master's degree, then your grade point average from your undergraduate transcript will be needed to determine if you meet the GPA requirements. This applies even if you are in graduate school. Only when you have earned a Master's degree or higher, is when your GPA is not evaluated. Hope this helps.

Can I pursue graduate membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha?
Q. I graduated from college with barely a 2.4, however I am currently enrolled in a graduate degree program that I will complete in two years. I know that on the national website it states you must either have a 2.5 OR have a graduate degree. If I am currently pursuing a grad degree, will I meet the requirement in spite of my low gpa or do I have to have completed it already? I know that graduate membership is by invite only. To clarify, when I say can I pursue membership, what I am talking about are all of the steps one takes to increase their chances of being extended an invitation to join.

A. I do not know exactly what you mean by 'it looks better', but if you have an opportunity to persue membership while on the undergraduate level I would take it. If you want to take your chances to wait until Graduate Chapter then by all means wait. I have suggested that one of my friends wait because I felt that she was not ready. She had a lot of other things on her plate and adding a Sorority at the time would overwhelm her if she had been granted membership. Figure out if you have time for The Sorority at the time. Weigh your options. Only after you have done all of that will you be able to answer that question for YOURSELF. Good luck!

A. Where are you from? Sometimes asking people who are in other organizations can be helpful; of course you can't make it obvious but they may very well know what is happening. If there are any undergraduate chapters where you are then there is a graduate chapter that is guiding them somewhere close by. You may want to start from scratch and talk with the undergraduate chapter or check out there website maybe you will get some contact info that way.

Can anyone list the required materials for graduate membership into Alpha Kappa Alpha?
Q. I found the pre-rush checklist, community service and interest forms for undergraduate membership which basically guide you on what you will have to turn in and would like to know of a similar list for those interested in becoming graduate members. I know it is by invitation but would like to get an idea of just what I would need to turn in. Like is there a community service requirement for graduate membership and about how many hours would I need to have? I know with undergrad the community service has to have been done within a max of 2 yrs, is it the same with graduate membership? I just would like as much info on the paperwork requirements to try to meet all requirements before pursuing graduate membership?

A. Since Graduate Chapter membership is by invitation only that information can NOT be shared until one recieves an invitation. As you can imagine, if we require undergraduates to complete community service then you could assume that we expect the same if not more from graduates. As we are primarily about Sisterhood, Service, and Scholarship we pay GREAT attention to the community service endeavors of potential candidates for membership. Good Luck

How can I be a reservist after I graduate Army ROTC?
Q. I am currently in the process of joining Army ROTC. I was wondering if the only way I could graduate and become a army reservist or part of the national guard was the simultaneous membership program, or could I just go through the regular process in ROTC.
Asked by John - Thu Sep 10 18:26:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you go through ROTC, then as long as you do not accept an active duty scholarship, you can commission Guard or Reserve if you wish. Even so, I would recommend that you do SMP as it does not commit you to anything, yet it gets you some extra pay during your time in ROTC and gets you years of service for pay once you commission which is a huge jump in pay.

If it was professional dues required for your profession than you could deduct the dues on Schedule A - Itemized Deduction under miscellaneous itemized deductions, but would have to exceed 2% of your AGI for the excess to be deductible. But if you just wanted to join the alumni association, then no, it's not deductible.

A. You must be invited to join the grad chapter, unlike the undergrad chapters, where you tell them you want to join and they decide whether or not you get in. I can only imagine that maybe they felt the person did not "fit" what an AKA should be. Also, unfortunately, sometimes the decision is just unfair and not based on anything substantial.

How much does a membership at Washington Sports Club cost?
Q. I'm moving to DC in February after graduating from college, and I'm looking for a gym to replace the free gym at school. I checked WSC's website, but it doesn't list any prices. Does anyone know how much the Gold level or other memberships cost for the Glover Park location? Or does anyone recommend another gym? Thanks!

A. Washington Sports Club has a new member fee of $100. (That's on their specials.?) Each month, costs about $70 a month. You should call them to see what kind of specials they are running! Besides Washingotn Sports Club, you should also check out Bally's and Sport and Health. They all cost about the same. There are some local gyms in DC. Such as Results.

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.
