Did you ask the chapter or review their website? I know in this day and age you should still be able to pledge, just not do all of the "activities" involved. Best of luck and congrats on your pursuit of a degree. I do hope that your dreams come true.

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.

Try puting up posters at your campus or school, explaining what the organisations all about. Try community centers and religous institutions too. Im your stil having trouble, try teaming up with a similar existing organisation that already has a volunteer pool.

Talk to your college dean. he will know them, and be able to just call and they will stop. They will do this because as much as they want you to join, they want a good working relationship with the college a lot more. Take my word for it, i was a recruiter for two years.

Probably what you refer to is a pledge name. Usually that only happens in fraternities, but I guess some girls might do it. I have yet to encounter that in any of the campuses i've been to (I know greeks from sfsu, sjsu, csu:sac, berkeley, uc davis, ucla, stanford, usc, ucsd, and one from when ucsc had a greek system).

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.

I join to meet new people and make new friends. Before the fraternity I was involved with 3 major clubs on my college campus and one I help start from scratch, so my reason was that i didn't have any friends, I wanted more. Also the opprotunities of brotherhood and business connections. I would be lying if the socail scene didn't cross my mind as well. Academics were a big part alot of my borthers are economic majors like myself and I can ask them for help when ever. Finally I love the community service, I am my fraternities community service chair

I know you said you don't know anyone - but you are going to HAVE to branch out in order to meet some of the women at your school that are AKA. That's the only way in unfortunately. A website won't work to make the connections unless you use it to find some member listings.

Go to college and meet the right people!

It was a little scary at first, but I got into the swing of things pretty quickly. Your campus will probably have plenty of organizations to join, and that's a good way to meet people. You'll meet upperclassmen who can show you the ropes, and you'll meet other freshmen who'll probably be just as confused as you are. If you don't know something, don't be afraid to ask. Get to know your professors. It's a very fun and exciting time in your life. Enjoy it.

The letters AKA stand for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.  For basic information regarding my sorority, you would want to look on our national website:\n\nwww.aka1908.com\n\nThere you will find general information regarding the history, founding and programs of the sorority.  Some of the other information that you may be seeking can only be determined my being initiated into the sorority.  But here is a little insight.\n\nWe were founded on January 15, 1908 on the campus of Howard University.  We are a service driven organization that is involved in various community related programs.  There are more than 170,000 members worldwide and we are growing larger every day.  The sorority is full of women from all walks of life who are driven towards a common goal....contibuting positively to our communities on local, nationwide and worldwide levels.\n\nThe website will be a good place to start your search for knowledge and deeper insight into the founding of my sorority.  BUT I do have to say this.....there is not an AKA who will come on here and just lay all of our sacred trusts on the line.  I hope that you respect that and do what we did....research and become a member.  That is the one and only way that you will come to obtain all of the information that you say you are seeking.\n\nYou may also want to try and speak with a member of the sorority who can and is willing to provide you with insight and guidance through the membership process.
