Soror I couldn’t agree more about having to pay the money for induction, etc then had to turn right around and pay for next years dues since I came in during SP 18 man that low key sucked lol so I couldn’t agree more.
Love your videos! Do you have any advice for choosing between grad chapters? I know some organizations do not have residency requirements. Is it okay to attend informationals for chapters you are interested in? I’ve found the grad journey to be more of finding the chapter where I feel I can grow best and contribute more to as well as fitting in. But it feels weird, like window shopping weird.
I actually have a video about this very topic coming soon! I don’t see a problem with it bc you want to be sure about the chapter as well as the org you want to join.
I would like to know can I join the baseball club/ or any club being an international student in spring ?? Do universities have orientations for spring intakes too ?
You’ll need to consult your university regarding the baseball club. Most Divine 9 organizations will require you to have at least one full semester as a student before applying to join. Yes, some universities have spring orientation. Watch my orientation videos
Ok I just want to be clear. A friend and I are going back and forth about this and I need clarification. Is it correct that the fees are due upfront, before receiving an inviting for membership AND someone can NOT be chosen and the money is NOT refunded? Is this all correct?
No. Some details on this topic is in my grad member FAQ. Interests are invited to rush. New member/induction fees are required as part of the application during formal rush. Once fees are paid, money is not refunded. If for any reason you can’t continue with intake but you’ve already paid, it’s still not refunded
@@KelsTells I understood this from the video but to my friend's understanding, once you have already paid they may not choose you for membership and your money will not be refunded. Is this correct?
Hello, I’m considering membership in a NPHC organization but I’m currently pursuing a Bachelors degree and my college does not have Greek life on campus. I have researched graduate chapters in my area and I have found interest in one. I watched your video on grad chapters and my question is how soon do you start to show interest to a particular chapter in grad chapter (showing face and interest) I will have my degree in Spring of 2021. Thanks for all the info you share!
Hi there! Congratulations on all of your success! I recommend showing interest during your senior year so that the chapter will know to put you on their radar. You can also start attending events now just so that you can get a better idea of what the chapter members are like.
I went to an informational in early November where I submitted my transcript and a resume and I haven't heard back yet. Should I be concerned that I won't get invited to a formal? It's too late for fall intake so I figured the intake won't start till January
I have two chapters in my state and based on the vibe and responses to my interest I’m going to events of a chapter that’s nearly two hours away vs one that is 30 minutes away. With grad chapter does joining or showing interest in a chapter further away Is a bad thing?
I'm in the same predicament. The local grad chapter is awful. The chapter I would prefer is two hours away. The local chapter is stating that I have to join locally based on my residency. 🤦🏽♀️
L Brown I feel that it shows more about your character and your willingness to join if you are commuting and keeping up with events. I decided to not settle for a chapter that sucks. I wish you luck. I know at first they weren’t sure if I would be willing to drive as far as I do
@@sickeningkamiyah_6357 Yes some members will frown upon you living 2 hrs away as they figure u will get in and run off. So try to be at most events to prove that you are serious.
An'na Griffin I’m in two grad chapter sororities (Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.) and we do somewhat follow a similar schedule with intake but sometimes on a longer scale. Because grad chapters generally don’t have a lot of people moving around and leaving, the chapter can have a lot of members in it for awhile and sometimes the chapter doesn’t want to grow any larger. But in most cases, it’s events, open house, informational and then an invitation is extended

I feel like every time I watch your videos I spend most of the time looking at your teeth they are so freakin perfect
Lol! Thank you!
You do an amazing job of being discrete while still being very informative. I love it
Thank you! 😊
I would like to tell you that now I'm proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated. I was a Solo Ace
Congratulations 🎉🎊 Yip-Phi!
Thank you I appreciate it
What’s a solo ace?

KelsTells thank you!! I love that you don’t forget about us old heads 😊
As a graduate who did transfer, are they looking for my recent semester from my degree? Or the previous school as well?
Check out my video on transcripts
💙💛💙💛
Is there a way that I can directly message you that you will respond to the fastest??
Yes. You can DM my Instagram KelsTells
The campus that I am currently attending doesn’t participate in Greek life. Is it possible to join a sorority through a neighboring school?
You'll have to follow up with the graduate chapter that advises the neighboring school to see if it's possible as the rules vary by organization
I would like to know can I join the baseball club/ or any club being an international student in spring ??

You may have answered this already but what happens if you’re interested in an org but they’re not active on campus so you can meet them?
You should contact the grad chapter that’s over them

All fees paid to the organization are non-refundable

Timelines are different for every chapter. Check out my video on this topic ruclips.net/video/CCW4fb7nQi8/видео.html
Will it matter if the date on your recommendation is earlier than when the application is due?
No but I recommend leaving that part blank until it’s close to time for you to turn it in.
I have two chapters in my state and based on the vibe and responses to my interest I’m going to events of a chapter that’s nearly two hours away vs one that is 30 minutes away. With grad chapter does joining or showing interest in a chapter further away Is a bad thing?

Do you know of Grad Chapters follow the same intake schedule as undergrad?
I know of some chapters who have the schedules and UG when they’re doing combined intake. Other than that, no
