2. What is GAP?

GAP is the graduate, alumnae and professional program of Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority Inc. GAP women are currently pursuing graduate degrees, are professional women with at least a bachelor’s degree, or have transitioned from an undergraduate chapter as alumnae.

3. Why GAP?

• GAP women strive to promote the ideals of our sorority among graduate students, alumnae, and professional women; to unite women of various cultural backgrounds; and, to promote awareness of multicultural issues.

• Membership in GAP chapters and colonies provides an incredible network of women across the world who are pursuing professional careers and lifestyles. As more and more women enter the professional realm, GAP has become a crucial element of this sorority. There are currently GAP chapters and colonies across the country, as well as a GAP Anchor chapter serving women who are not in close proximity to a physical chapter.

• GAP is different from the undergraduate experience as it allows for more of a focus on the professional development and personal support of individual members during a time when many life-changing decisions are made – marriage, children, home ownership, graduate school, career advancement, etc.

• GAP allows members a chance to mentor undergraduate women.
