I mean this with all sincerity.

Its probably a good idea to remove any reference to Kappa Alpha Psi in your siggy, and to avoid posting that you love the org. One day it may come back to haunt you.

Perhaps you should stay focused on being a high school kid instead of worrying about joining a fraternity.

0*1*1*9*1*1 - As a fellow high School student (although about to be a former) I understand your excitement about growing up to become a Kappa. However, if you pay attention to the "What Not To Do" threads they specifically say DO NOT proclaim your self a future member. As I have perceived, appearance is everything when stating your interest. Appearing desperate or overly interested will not help you.

In response to the adults on GC - I don't think anybody put a GC link on a HS website. What happens is, in trying to learn about GLO or dispel fallacies about them your GC quotes often show up in searches. I can't speak for others but I myself am going off to college in less than 5 months and I'd like to be somewhat knowledgeable before going off to college. Your advice is generally wise and invaluable! It allows us to get advice and feedback without really having to put ourselves out there.

Just to put my two cents in about the GLO Youth Organizations, I think they are a good idea - as long as they are legit. Don't rep DST unless you are a Delta Gem of a DeltaTeen etc. And even then, don’t really rep it. It’s just a sponsor, not you. Making up your own GLO in high school is in my opinion playing at being in college. Just mature some more and wait. Greeks are for college when you are more responsible and mature - at least we hope.

But hey, I’m not trying to be rude or anything. That's just me on the subjects.

pinstrypes 03-18-2007 11:18 PM
High school kids in a GLO? It sounds like just another way to be catty, as many HS kids are. The question is were you initiated into the org, and do you know the ritual? I think not. I would be careful about presenting yourself as a member or organization until its official, as the current members would have a serious problem with it. When I was an undergrad, there would alway be a rushing freshmen who would say something like "I'm pretty much already a member". Then we would laugh our asses off when, more often than not, that kid didn't get a bid.

Well I always ask this same Question because I graduated from High school last year and I was apart of a High School Non-Greek Organization Called Rho Alpha Gamma and we where founded by Alpha Phi Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta together.So we always respect and get respect from Frats/Sarors but some Frats/Sarors dont like it when they see us Party Hopping and Strolling why is that?

Unfortunately in Alabama there was a high school "sorority" that copied my sorority's colors and had a very similar name: Alpha Kappa Kappalettes. There was a loooooot of drama surrouding that group.
:rolleyes:

Saxenmeyer 03-12-2010 08:48 PM
Hey, is anyone who's been in a high school fraternity or sorority interested in talking about it? I'd love to do an interview over the phone, especially if you're in the Chicago area. You can find my contact info at http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/abou...ark_Saxenmeyer.

I refuse to believe someone employed in the news-media industry would solicit interviews on a message board. What is this world coming to?

Why focus on high school "sororities" and "fraternities" when there are alum groups in Chicago full of real Greeks that do great things??

Well, it's 2010 and it's a PUBLIC forum. Try reading your own tag line...it's not that serious, it's Greek Chat. And if I can bring notice to teens getting hazed and hurt because of these groups then isn't it for a good cause?? Try asking before judging.

We got a tip of concern from a parent about high school students imitating these groups but using crazy hazing practices. I'm trying to get more info and bring this practice to light. I would think this would be of concern for legitimate Greek organizations sine it's not the message you try to promote. Any info that can be passed along would be helpful. Thanks.

Maybe try the school in question. Is it like your first day as a reporter or something?

This is no news to any of us. News flash hazing happens all the time, but the only time it is every reported is when it involves us. It pisses me off so much.

You're right, that is important. I can't believe other GCers are being so cavalier about this issue. I'll do an interview with you over the phone, call me when you get this. 312-563-9631

x2'd, but-

This doesn't even involve anyone in a legitimate Greek organization unless the sorority/fraternity at the school is using a Greek name. Just because kids can access the internet to figure out the Greek alphabet and come up with a catchy sounding name doesn't associate them with us.
Saxenmeyer, call the school, not us. Unless you want to tell us the name of this organization and it happens to be the same as an established sorority/fraternity, we have no reason to discuss this further.

Oh I know, but most people would probably associate the wannabes with legitimate Greek organizations.

Nu-uh, all the REAL news shows do it. ;)

Remember when the Tyra Show came here because Tyra wanted "rush" and do "a day in the life" of a sorority girl? I remember looking up the chick who posted and she did work for the Tyra show at the time.

Not surprisingly, she was shown the door shortly after posting.

Stay tuned for breaking news on how mean people are at online forums. Story at 11.

Thus, when someone mimicks it, it pretty much trivializes the sanctity of being a part of a sorority or a fraternity. There is a difference between imitating and mimicking. When you imitate you are not simply copying from them you are embracing certain facets of another organization and use it for your own because you believe in it. When you mimick you are just taking from another organization and not using any of your own original ideas and principles, you do the same exact things as the other organization; you duplicate. My sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was the first Black Greek Letter Organization to have youth groups, and they are OFFICIAL; Archonettes, Amicettes, and Pearlettes. Archonettes are in high school, and yes they do imitate Zeta in the sense that they embrace our ideals and they look up to us. But the difference is, Zeta created Archonettes. We gave them certain "things" that are patterned after the principles of our organization, however, we do not sanction the use of "things" meant only for us Zetas BUT THEY ARE A PART OF THE BLUE AND WHITE FAMILY. The Archonettes are not a sorority, however they carry themselves as though they are because they share in our national events and programs. Many of them do go on to become Zetas, but some things about a sorority should be held back because of the oaths we take and the level of secrecy. If your sorority is not an official youth group of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. then you should respect their organization and leave it to them to decide exactly how much of "Delta" they will allow you to incorporate into your sorority. Otherwise, some Deltas may not think your sorority is so flattering.
you are absolutly correct because, I joind a high school organization in Memphis Tn. I was excepted membership of Omega Prep wich is spon cerd by omega psi phi fraternity Inc. and we ran into some issues about another chapter throwing up the hooks on their FB page and the OMEGAs did not appreciate that at all.

Just wondered.
Yes, they are real and No, some of them are not recent. I am a member of Omega Prep and we were started in 1984 on the campus of the University Of Memphis during a youth program sponcerd by Omega Psi Phi fraternity Inc.

Auxiliary organizations are not generally the same thing as a high school fraternity or sorority.

:(

I hate what the Omegas in many areas have allowed the Omega Preps to become and do. This is one example http://omegaprepmobile.tripod.com/ of why I hate the idea of such groups when they become more than scholarship and/or mentoring programs for youth.

I commend the Deltas, Omegas, and other NPHCers who have kept these kids' groups in their place as scholarship recipients and/or mentees who are NOT "future XYZs." :)
