Life After Graduation



Being a senior in your sorority is bitter sweet. On one hand you don’t have to go to chapter meetings any more and you are done paying your dues. On the other hand you are going to be leaving your best friends, your little and something you have given so much of your time to throughout college.

Many chapters will have a senior send off where there will be a short ceremony to recognize all that the seniors have done throughout their time in your chapter.  During the senior send off, many times the chapter will get all of the seniors a small gift, something of importance to remember the chapter. Some sororities will write letters for all of the seniors, others will make shirts. Whatever the gift is, it is suppose to have meaning.

There is one thing you can look forward to after graduation – alumnae weekend. This is the one weekend you can act like you are back in college, with all of your sisters/brothers. Alumnae weekend is a time to celebrate all you have done since you graduated and catch up with other alumnae and everyone else from your chapter. Many times, this will be the first time you see many people since graduation so many look forward to it.
