What is the difference between the undergrad and graduate chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha?

As an undergraduate interest, I rushed Alpha Kappa Alpha and was chosen to become a member; however, it is a different process for students who have obtained their bachelor’s degrees. 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. Chapters host public events, such as forums, cultural presentations and social activities, which you may wish to attend in order to become acquainted with Sorority members and their community service activities in your area. The Chapter Locator section of www.aka1908.org provides chapter names and contacts in your community.

The MIP begins with an Official Letter of Invitation, on chapter stationery, signed by the local graduate chapter president AND membership chair.

THERE WILL BE NO MEMBERSHIP ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF AN OFFICIAL LETTER OF INVITATION.

Participation in MIP activities in the name of the Sorority prior to receipt of this official letter is prohibited. There is neither pledging nor a Rush.

Candidacy is also contingent upon approval of the required materials submitted by the prospective candidate.

Best wishes!
