Should I joing Theta Alpha Sorority?

Shes not asking if she should join them, she wants to know if she should joing them.  "Joing" is a Chukkanees action word meaning to jump over or dodge something.  She wants to know if she should jump over Theta Alpha Sorority.  And I say joing away!

I think you can make the team.  I believe if you have the heart and desire to live out a dream, nobody's going to take it away from if you really give it all you've got.   It is important to be around people who can assist you to reach your goals or train with you.  It's important that you believe in yourself.  Stay positive and it can happen.  \n\nOn a Christian perspective, it is all up to God if He wants you to play for your college.  God has great intentions for us all.  I suggest praying earnestly about it asking God to help you make the right decision that is ultimately His decision.  Perhaps you can be a source of blessing to others through your faith in Him.  \nHe knows the sacrifices we make and He rewards us when we have faith.

I just want to (gently) point out that this is not the type of question you should be asking online, especially if you are using your real Yahoo ID.  It's a smaller world than you think.\n\nNPHC organizations (as well as other ethnic greek-letter organizations) are very big on DISCRETION.  You cannot assume that you are going to be asked to join.  Generally speaking, no one who is actually involved in the membership process will answer a question like the one you posted.\n\nI would advise that you do some more research on sororities, and especially the lifetime committment that many of them require.

Yep, I got mail from them asking to join, but i never did because of the cost. I think it's an excellent program. There are several divisions such as the NYLF for law, medicine (which I got for), engineering, etc. You should check out the site for more info :)

Well, ppl don't join Sororities just to meet guys. They also join it for the housing and the experience. And clubs aren't lame, people who do nothing with their time are lame. There's nothing wrong with taking up a hobby by joining a club.

James,\nYour travels in Masonry have already begun.  In your heart you know that you want to be a Freemason.  Because the fraternity does not evangelize in any way we never ask anyone to become a Mason.  Every member has joined of his own freewill and has not been persuaded to become a member.  Your own Grandfather followed this rule and never asked you to join his lodge.\n\nSearch out the most respected members of your community and you will find that they are probably Freemasons.  Tell your desire to one of these men and he will secure for you a petition to the lodge.  A committee of inquiry will call on you at your home to make sure that your desires are true,  that you are a respected member of the community and worthy to become a Mason.   If the committee approves of you; the entire lodge will be notified and you must pass a unanimous ballot.  If any member of the lodge feels that you are unworthy; you will never become a member of the lodge as long as the objection exists.\n\nAs a member you will be part of the world's oldest and greatest fraternity.  You will find charitable needs and causes, education, fellowship, and friendship.  One of the greatest gifts a man can give to another is to help him become a Mason.  I hope that I am responding in such a way that I can give this gift to you.

Yes, I'm a former sorority girl. I say former because I don't go to that college anymore, and my current college doesn't have a chapter house. \nThings you should know BEFORE joining:\n1. There is a recruitment process, which you do have to take part in- it's different for every campus.\n2. You have to pay money to belong to a greek organization. Some people view it as "paying for friends", but it's one of those things that contributes to the chapter as a whole, such as money for fundraisers, electricity, water, and tiolet paper. Very important!!!! Your money goes to much more than you're aware of.\n3. Believe it or not, grades matter. Many sororities have a minimum GPA that they'll expect you to maintain without a penalty, like study hours or tutoring. \n4. PARTIES AND BOYS AREN"T THE MAIN THING THAT MOST GIRLS ARE THERE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!   People have the misconception that it's "Girls Gone Wild" all the time. \n5. When you go greek, it's harder to date someone that's a GDI (God Damn Independent- one who isn't a member of a fraternity or sorority), because they simple don't understand the time committment greek life involves. Meetings, community service, study hours, sister/brotherhood nights, initiation, rush, intermural games, philanthropy,..........the list goes on. Not to mention the good times you'll have with your new set of fun people to hang with. \n6. You get what you put in. Always remember that with ANYTHING you do. \n7. Greek organizations are great stepping stones for things like jobs; networking is great!!!!! \n8. I am incredibly lucky- I met a wonderful fraternity man (he's now alum) 3 years ago, and I'm proof that a relationship can survive after the Greek experience. :)\n\nIf you want more specific information, feel free to email me.

Yeah for sure you should go! Have fun with it and just enjoy yourself! You never know what might happen. And if you don't go, you'll never know. You don't want to miss out on something that just might make your life a happier place to be! \n\nPlus, you don't want to resent not going and spending the rest of time wondering "What if......?"\n\nWATCH OUT PARTY BOY - HERE SHE COMES!

It's different on every campus.  At one school your sorority could be the "top dog", but at another one have the opposite reputation.  It's best to look at an organization as a whole before joining one.  Just because one on your campus is strong, it doesn't necessarily mean they are strong nationally.  \n\nPersonally I would avoid local organizations that are not national.  National ones have more benefits and seem to have higher standards.\n\nGood Luck with your decision.

I used to be in a fraternity as well (and it was also not the typical). I don't tell anyone about it now. It's not as important in the real world as most greeks would have you believe.

I would suggest that if you decide not to go to a HBCU (friends of mine went to FAMU, Spellman and Hampton--all had MOSTLY positive experiences and all are doing exceptionally well since graduating) then I would suggest that you become involved in your campus Black organization. I went to a big University that was predominantly white, but was very involved with the Black Student Union (President my Sr. year) and even the Hispanic Student Union. Make sure you visit campuses as often as you can and try to talk to people involved with minority relations to get a clearer picture of what you may be in store for. This is for NO MATTER which college or university you choose. GOod luck to you! It is a major decision. Do not rush into choosing.

I joined a sorority at the University of Missouri, it is different at on every campus. Take some time to research how big the Greek life is at Yale, you may find it silly to join at all.\nLots of ups and downs. First of all the emotional roller coaster of rushing. It is such a drama to try to impress these total strangers so that will let you pay to be their friend. I hated how plastic it felt. Luckily I was accepted in to the sorority of my choice, I was a Chi Omega. However a few of my girlfriends that I rushed with were not so lucky and they were crushed. It is ten times worse than not making the cheerleading squad because it isn't about ability, it is about you. It isn't about an extra-curricular activity, it is your social life for at least the next 4 years. It is really emotional!\nThen once I was in the sorority pledging took up huge amounts of time that I didn't get to apply to my studies. As a Yale student you may not want to fill your social calendar the way a sorority requires, especially as a pledge. Finally, the majority of Greek life is about drinking. I have never been so out of control in my life. I was constantly either drunk or hung over. I did so many things I regretted the next day. I never felt that sisterhood that was supposed to protect me at frat parties.\nTruth is that as a girl you can get in to almost any party you want to. The guys want you to be there. You don't have to spend the time and money necessary to join a sorority to get in. It is ready made friends, if you believe in that sort of thing. I found that after my sophomore year I made my own friends outside the sisterhood and they were much better and more real relationships.

Of course you should apply. You'll never know if you will like it unless you try it first. I know you are busy, but college is supposed to be a chance to try everything you want to see if something is a good fit for you. Good luck in your pursuits.

Every sororoty is different on every campus. We had about 15 sororities on our campus, but it would do little for me to tell you who was a stronger chapter or had the best parties versus those that had trouble even getting new members.\n\nI recommend that you narrow your choice down to maybe three. Do some research on those three. \n\nHave they had lots of hazing issues nationally? You don't want to join a sorority only to find yourself duck taped to a keg of beer forced to drink until you puke. \n\nDo they host well-attended parties and have fun socials with fraternities and other groups? You don't want to join a sorority that's known for nothing more than sisterhood get togethers and studying. You want one that also knows how to have fun.\n\nCheck out their national web site. How long have they been around? How many chapters do they have? Are there any famous people that you look up to who were members? \n\nFind out info about the local chapter. How long is the pledge period? Does "hell week" interfere with exams? Will you be required to stay at the sorority house during that week? What other organizations are the members involved in? Do they participate in intramural sports? Have they had any hazing or alcohol violations recently? What is the chapter GPA? \n\nReally, do your research. Seriously. I joined a sorority my sophomore year. And took that first year of college to do my research. I wanted to make sure it's what I wanted. And it was.\n\nGreek life is wonderful and it can really enhance your college life, as well as later in life. I've remained close to many of my "sisters" over the years.  Putting my sorority on my resume even helped my land a job at a big company.  I was told by HR that people who've been in Greek organizations have a higher likelihood of being successful in the workplace than those who weren't.  I don't know if it's true, but it's worth considering. \n\nMy significant other was in a fraternity and is still close with all of his "brothers" as well. They still have get togethers a few times a year and help out with their chapter when needed.\n\nDo not think or let ever tell you that being in a sorority is like buying friends.  ALL organizations have dues...even my son's PTA organization.  The cost pays for the parties and other supplies needed.  It's no different than paying for any other organization.\n\nGood Luck with your decision.

Rush starts with open parties, where everybody interested in pledging goes to every house (suite, however it works on your campus). After a couple of those, the sororities invite back a still pretty large group and they only come if they're interested. If I remember correctly, there's yet another level beyond that before the sorority invites the girls who they are interested in, and who have shown an interest in them, to pledge. \n\nIn addition to the formal rush period, if a sorority decides that there's someone who might be interested in pledging they can issue a bid during open rush. This often happens if members of the sorority get to know somebody, through classes or other activities. I pledged that way, as did a few of my friends. \n\nIf you go through rush and don't get a bid from a sorority that you really feel like you clicked with, you can always wait until you get to know people better. You can start the pledge period and quit, and even once you become a full member you can quit. However, once you've become a full member of one national sorority you can't ever join another one.
