Because of the way our processes are now structured you aren't pledging in the first place. And that is all you need to know. Thus it is a statement of fact, not of race.

It is extremely rare but I have heard a couple of nightmare stories about it. It is more common at the alumnae level and when people have moved to a different state, or something.

But, I agree that it is EXTREMELY rare. I have never heard of it at the undergrad level. The original poster never crossed, so he/she/it can't even "depledge" as BGLOs (and even some MGLOs and LGLOs) use the term.

LOL :D

We have a couple of different interpretations of "depledge" going in this thread.

Daught,even after they cross and decide to leave the organization, the term is not de-pledged.

At my school, the young ladies wouldn't even dare.

I know, momma. That is just the term that a lot of people use. I guess it can be interpreted as they are "de-pledging their heart to the organization."

Because,
Delta Sigma Theta is a Black Sorority
Omega Psi Phi is a Black Fraternity
Alpha Phi Alpha is a Black Fraternity
Alpha Kappa Alpha is a Black Sorority
Kappa Alpha Psi is a Black Fraternity
Phi Beta Sigma is a Black Fraternity
Zeta Phi Beta is a Black Sorority
Sigma Gamma Rho is a Black Sorority
Iota Phi Theta is a Black Fraternity


Black Greeks pledges don't de-pledge because the can't depledge if they haven't finished a process Smartecus!

You aren't that bright are you? If you are giving this chick advise on what to do from one NPHC sorority to another you are giving BAD advise.

LOL!!!

:p

We don't "pledge," anyway. :cool:


<---- Black Greek

Yeah, all right. This has gone way too far. I'm done, later.

You're so diplomatic. :cool:

Go grad.

<---Black Greek!

Easy means of avoidance: SHUT UP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

bye, bye

Ah man, you keep running your mouth online, so admirable.
:o

You ..surely.. told me. *gasp*

Kthxbye.

on this board you use [brackets] not <arrows>.

I'm going to announce that I'm done, as opposed to just being done.

Amycat...you need to come in here and do your job. The quote above isn't about greekdom, and folks are trying to have a convo about greekdom.

:)

You sure should mind your business and stop being so threatened by the word BLACK as it pertains to a group of people!

Amycat....Look^^^^^^^^^^^^^

HA!

Especially since he pulled the race card--not us BGLOers.

Easy solution: SHUT UP.

"Black Greek" is highly offensive terminology.

I've never seen a group so threatened by the term "Black Greeks"

Boogedy Boogedy Boo :rolleyes:

I imagined you saying this out loud and waving at the screen. :D

98 can you please get out my head today

Bippity Boppity Boo!

Ha!

Can you reply to my PMs? :)

"Black Greek" Boo

I don't know how to check em :o

Yep. :D

You sent me a couple of PMs. Do that again, but instead of sending me a PM go to the right corner where it says "private messages."

That's what I do. :o

Re: a serious question
 

You know I just thought of a very relevant question for you that could maybe change our answers:

Were you officially MIPing or were you voluntarily underground? It's alright. Now that you have dropped, you can be honest.

Just a question from a person with terminal curiosity:

What is/was the pledging moratorium? The term sounds like a hold was placed on anyone joining an organization.

"Pledging moratorium" means that pledging has been banned in NPHC organizations since 1990. I wouldn't use the term "moratorium," I would just say "ban."

However, in general, a moratorium IS when joining an organization is stopped for a certain period of time.

In the late 80s, some NPHC orgs did have a moratorium on pledging, so that the NPHC as a whole could address the issues of hazing. Since then all LEGAL processes have been changed to non-"pledging" ones. That it all I can say about that.

biting my tounge

My bad. I completely misread AKA's post. :o
