Jackson State Greeks Cap New Members at 50

[Senusret I]

According to Cathy Patterson, coordinator of Greek affairs at the Jackson, Miss., school, the council voted during the fall semester to limit the number of members an organization can admit during the intake process. Each active fraternity and sorority has a representative on the council, and the measure is now part of the Panhellenic Council constitution.

"The Pan Council felt that this number was more manageable and would foster the development of more brotherly and sisterly relationships," Patterson said.

GOOOOD! There are too many individuals being accepted and too few graduating! I am happy about the stance that Jackson State University is taking. Actually, I believe the cap should be lowered by half on a yearly basis. I recall speaking to an individual who was decked out in her sorority gear and she sported a number 73! I made idle chat with her and stated that she looked a bit young to have been made(pledged) in the year and she proudly proclaimed that she was the anchor of her line. I said to myself, "damn!" Needless, to say when I asked her about the two, three, or 14 she replied "I don't really know much about them cause we do things differently." They sure as hell do! Good riddance. Assembly plant made membership needs to cease. Back in the day INTERESTS GROUPS was the pool from which "those lucky enough" to be GRANTED the opportunity to seek membership into NPHC fraternities/sororities were fully aware of and it was no secret that everyone who applied and was of an interest group would NOT be ALLOWED to pursue further advancement of seeking EARNED MEMBERSHIP!

This matter realistically only affects two organizations. Those organizations should be allowed to handle their intake matters without mandates from the local NPHC.
