As an active member of DOK, I wanted to address some of the rumors being discussed on this discussion board. Firstly, once it is determined that you reach the GPA minimum (which numerous academic organizations require), one's GPA is no longer factored in to one's acceptance into DOK. Therefore, a 4.0 GPA is in no way required or gives one a advantage over someone else. Secondly, I personally joined DOK without knowing a single person in the sorority, and I know countless others who were in that same situation. In fact, I'd say that the majority of those currently in DOK did not have any close friends in DOK when they rushed. Additionally, while it may be discouraging that each pledge class consists of only about 20 individuals per semester, DOK has consciously chosen to maintain a smaller group size in order to facilitate the feeling of a tight-knit community in which everyone knows each member on a personal level. Many individuals who do not receive a bid during their first rush choose to rerush the next semester (we hold a formal rush every semester rather than only in the spring like PHA). Many of these members are fondly remembered and frequently are accepted during a second rush. To this day, I only know of one individual who has completely dropped the sorority, and it was due to the fact that she changed major and career path to outside of healthcare (although those who change majors are not required to drop). Finally, although DOK is not PHA, it holds official sorority status with the university and therefore must follow all of the same rules, regulations, and guidelines that accompany that status. To add, members in DOK are NOT permitted to be in a social sorority as well. Disclaimer: this is a personal account and is not an official statement by the sorority
