The website doesn't say 'high school GPA'

What else could it mean if they accept first semester freshmen?

It doesn't have to. If you accept first semester freshman and your GPA requirement is a 2.35...where would this GPA come from? Lets not try to get them off on a technicality.

BTW the vast majority of Beta's founders are sign ons who count "pledging" from first email they send to SLB nationals to when they officially sign the paper to become brothers. This is why you get so many SLB and SLG members who report pledging for 5 to 6 months when they are founders they count filing the paper work with the school and studying SLB information as their "process".

*smoke- bomb*- I'm out!

Anyone with a 2.35 gets this:

...that goes for high school or college! :mad:

Will you stop flouncing and just opt to stick around? It's time we had some excitement around here.

A Brazilian flip-flop? :confused:

"La Chancla"--popular device among Latina mothers, grandmothers, and aunties; used to threaten wayward children; often seen flying across the room when a child or teen (or even a grown child) does something stupid.

HA! We talked about this on GC before! I remember now. LMAOOOOO

LOL DIABLO! I'm mad I knew exactly what you meant by showing la chancla gave me bad memories!

Devil's advocate.

My point is that, unless this person is a Beta (the posts suggest that s/he isn't), s/he shouldn't be speaking so definitively about their membership standards. If Little Dragon confirms that it's a HS GPA, so be it. This GreekTruth person seems to only want to start shit.

You should probably go back to the hate blog.

lol we've been speaking definitively about a whole bunch of stuff in this thread, whether entitled to or not.

knight shadow !! 11,000th POST!!!!!!

If you haven't noticed I'm reading the thread haven't been compelled to respond to anything...yet. lol

I could give this person the benefit of the doubt if s/he mentioned other organizations who accept first semester freshmen. S/he's a little too focused on SLB to be a "casual observer" trying to give some legitimate input. Also, who's to say that they don't have a deferred initiation (after college grades have posted)? We don't know.

I'm probably peeved because this person's posts are too similar to those in the "Infamous Hate Blog," which is a whole 'nother beast.

I talk too much lol

Response
 

No, Knight_Shadow (congrats on your 11,000th post), he ain't no Beta, he just like to spread an open hate for SLB, for reasons he only knows. This is not the first time he appears on this or other sites, and his every intervention is always to hate on SLB or on SLB men.

Nowhere in the SLB website, it states high school GPA, as Greektruth claims. As per SLB website: SLB membership requirement is full time enrollment in college with a minimum 2.35 GPA.

How does that work? Well, each university has it Greek requirements. Those need to be met. If the University allows a GPA lower than 2.5, then SLB will only go as low as 2.35, but the University requirements need to be met first. Will SLB accept every 2.35 GPA student? Of course not. He would be interviewed, SLB would know the reason behind the 2.35 GPA. If the person is found he can't raise his GPA, he won't be allowed to join.

EDIT
We are talking about a 2.35 college GPA. If the person is a 1st semester freshman, of course, that's another story, and will be handle accordingly.

Chancla
 

BTW, that chancla will give me nightmares tonight. It's true!

Yes true but 2.35 gpa none the less. I'm sure every students made up story about lack of focus and how he is really serious about school now and all will suffice.

Not hate inform. With the exception of a few details nothing I am saying is hate because it is true.

Yes this is not our first time, the hate blog (What tornado of SLB hate that turned into!), Wikipedia, and now Greek chat....I go ...you appear.

BTW I'm about 80% sure you are paid representative of SLB who monitors things likes this.

Up up and away! *whoosh*

Fuck off loser.

What the ?

Greeki Leaks > this entire thread

*reading now*

I always laugh when people create usernames on message boards to make comments that they consider ball-breaking and then *woosh*

Is that *woosh* and back to their regular username name; or *woosh* and back to being a nonregistered lurker? Flounce, nonetheless.

Some of the clothing on that site is really horrible. People aren't actually buying that sh*t, are they?

Considering NALFO now has 6 frats (Alpha Psi Lambda does not count. That’s just Alpha Phi Omegas that speak Spanish.)


LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:D

Naming names
 

Coming back to the main topic in the thread, which orgs in NALFO have officially changed focus? For what I could see in their national websites, the usual suspects still call themselves Latino-based, and the ones that don't, still don't come out and explicitly call themselves Multicultural.

Out of NALFO, looking at the past as I understand it, Gamma Eta Sorority (member of NMGC), Chi Sigma Upsilon Sorority (Former member of NMGC), Tau Phi Sigma Fraternity (since recently member of NIC), and Delta Delta Coed Fraternity were Latino founded, but moved officially to multicultural, some not even mentioning the change in their own histories.

Also, even though they are Multicultural orgs today, AFA labels Delta Psi Alpha Coed, Delta Phi Omega Coed, Xi Psi Omega Coed and Tau Theta Pi Sorority as Latino. Is AFA mistaking or did these orgs also changed focus?

Here is the link:

Just curious and wanting to know more and, if necessary, correct myself. No disrespect intended to any of the mentioned organizations.

Who are the usual suspects? :confused:

btw, Chi Sigma Upsilon Sorority is and has long been defunct. I don't think they ever madeit out of the 90's.

I'm thinking he's referring to SLB/SLG, ODP/KDX, etc

Only one (as you know) is NALFO. So I thought there were others he was talking about.

Didn't know.
 

Thanks. I didn't know. They have a website up, but I did not dig deep enough on it. Now that I went back, they had events till 2004. Sorry.

You are right Monarca, out of the ones mentioned by K_S, only KDX is still a NALFO member. I had heard that another usual suspect which is out of NALFO was NAK.

The reason of my asking is for real curiosity. Although Greek since 97, I am a 2001 alumnus, so I am crude on most NALFO orgs, since SLB joined much later and didn't get to meet any on campus (besides OeDPh, KDCh, LThPh and LThA). Now, visiting their webpages, this is what I have found out about NALFO orgs.

Sororities
-The webpage for KDCh uses both Latina based and Latina founded in the "About" section.
-The webpage for GAOe say they are "Latina-founded, multicultural organization"
-About OePhB, they say they are "Latina-oriented, not Latina-based," whatever that means.
-The rest are clearly LGLO's.

As for the fraternities,
-I've heard that some chapters of LSU also throw out the diverse card, although the website clearly indicates LGLO.
-The rest are clearly LGLO's.

I was wonder about the orgs that LatinaAlumna had in mind when she open this thread.

Edited as adviced.

LSU will occasionally use the word diverse but rarely says multicultural (To be honest never ran acoss the use of "multicultural" myselfit but I could be wrong). Just a slight correction because there is a distinct difference betwen the two in my view.

Correction noted. I think I have heard the same, but remembered Multicultural due to the MSU connection. Thanks.

Cool, I figured. No harm no foul.

I think it's their prerogative to not mention it in their public histories if it's no longer who they are.

I was thinking about the orgs that are now using different terminology and/or that have members who are now calling their orgs "multicultural." Actually, the thread was prompted by a post I saw that day from someone in a current NALFO org who said referred to her org as "Latina founded but multicultural."

Just a question -

Do you think that it would be more accurate now to use the term: "Historically Latino/a GLO".

That is what has happened to the NPHC and NIC/IFC/NPC. Clearly today none of these orgs consist on a single race / ethnicity of membership as they did at their founding and much of their early history.
