I got one better for u..Gamma Phi Eta imitated us....colors and mascot..it took a min for nationals to contact them and get them to make thier necessary changes....

Are these D9 members still active in their organizations because we all took an oath and made a lifetime commitment? Abandoning one org to start/join another isn't cool unless there is a VERY good reason, especially when you can just as easily pitch the idea of starting a new chapter program; one that can incorporate your needs (as long as they somehow align with our National programs). And there are plenty of mothers (married and otherwise) in our graduate chapters so accomodations do have to be made and their needs are taken into consideration. As far as your sorority being founded by a member of sgrho...now I understand why Sigma is your first letter and why there are references to "Sigma Land" on your chapter websites. Do you really think that's a coincidence? You might want to ask your founder about this and I'm not being sarcastic...I really want you to ask her.

I just realized something. Maybe your founder isn't an sgrho at all (although she may have told you so) but rather an eternal Aurora...hmmmm.

What's a pancake? Does this have anything to do with Theta Phi Psi Fraternity (a BGLO founded in 2002 at Denny's) *lol*


lol :p at the above comment.

I'm always interested when people say "you never know until you ask" but when you ask people say "why are you asking/why are you hating/why are you singling us out."

And I'm also humored that Rain Man is still acknowledged as an entity.

my policy has always been ask and I will tell u what I can because you dont learn until u ask...

*wink*

This topic has been discussed on GC ad nauseum (?sp) to the point that the threads got locked and deleted. It can become a very hot topic on GC for the very reason that it does appear that people starting these new BGLOs do so simply because they were either rejected from their D9 of choice or they became disillusioned with the D9 they joined. I have no problem with people wanting to start a new BGLO or any GLO for that matter. My Founders did it along with the others in the D9, NPC, IFC and NIC. It's just that when these new ones copy the established ones so blatantly, then these new guys do seem suspect. If you don't want to be me, then don't copy me.


DaemondSeid - just do a search for Pi Kappa Alpha at Howard U. I think you might find some of the reasons you are looking for.

Diva...I have been in for 13 years....the only reason why I brought this topic up is that I am seeing more and more new orgs popping up than there was when I first crossed way back when and now that I am seeing lots and lots of these new orgs, I am curious about their perspectives for doing something against the grain

One monkey don't stop no show.

Kazo didn't kill my thunda here on GC. I thought 'ya knew :D

My niece is a nursing student at OSU. She considered going the Zeta route for a minute, but decided not to and is contemplating forming her own "sorority" that is for single mothers (I use quotation marks because I don't know if it will be a sorority per se or just a club).

Quite honestly, I couldn't see her joining an NPHC sorority as an undergrad; with a man to tend to and three kids, to say nothing of school and work, she simply would not have had the time. I'll keep you posted as to the progress of the organization.

So wrong..

lol :p

That's exactly what I was doing! Hey, NinjaPoodle were you spying on me?:p

Where's my kleenex? OMG! I just can't stop laughing! lol.

Glad you and NinjaPoodle liked my post. ;)

Nope (in between uncontrollable giggles and tears):D

btw, there's a K Psi K that just registered on GC that started a thread in the "Fraternity Recruitment" forum. Apparently, they're looking for new members. Check it out.
