People who are snobs about law schools are lacking in other areas and trying to compensate.

I beg to differ. I know of many people who TURN down Ivy League and high-ranked schools to attend the HBCU of their choice (Spelman, Howard, Morehouse, etc.). In addition, a great number of them went on attend Ivy League and high-ranked schools for graduate school.

He said "in general" though. There are a bunch of students that went to my alma mater that turned down Ivy League schools, but I wouldn't compare my school to Harvard.

Interesting thread - I've learned a bit from the back-and-forth so far.

i heard almost half gets A's. not sure how true it is.

LMAO

You'd have an easier time explaining it to a door!

That he selected the wrong school.

It has been explained adequately more than once. But since you have said it maybe Rudey will now listen.

<----- was a National Achievement Scholar finalist, a program implemented for African Americans to balance the playing field since the National Merit Scholarship Program was inherently biased. Two of my co-finalists went to Ivy League schools--one to Harvard, the other to Yale.

The two Scholarship winners turned them down and went to Howard. One (an Omega Man) became the youngest attorney to argue a case before the Supreme Court.

Oh yeah, I attended an historically Black high school in St. Louis--the first one west of the Mississippi River. Most of my teachers were HBCU graduates.

It means that my alma mater (as well as Howard, from what I've heard) are good schools, but not necessarily on the same level as a Harvard. That doesn't mean that the students at other schools aren't intelligent and don't have the chance to become quite successful.

It's great the NPHC orgs don't have to worry about quota - I never completely understood it as it applied to sororities at my school. To each their own, and it seems to be working out well for sororities, but I never completely understood the reasoning behind quotas and all that.

Ladygreek, I actually understood that. But if you took the time to figure out what I was asking or perhaps didn't make useless comments about me listening if Senusret speaks (usually I listen when anyone speaks), then you would have known that.

Perhaps you should read my specific question. Heck I will ask it again for you just in case you do not want to read back.

Are the line caps imposed by a school specific to orgs or are they always the same for all orgs?

-Rudey

Because?

Speaking of useless comments...

lol

don't worry MsG....it's par for the course for one who possesses a miniscule intellect.



:(

I see so you had difficulty reading earlier and do not or will not answer the question posed?

-Rudey
--Did you go to Howard?

Someone answer this fool's question so he can shut up.

LOL, okay but just for you since both of his questions have already been answered.

Rudey,
It is my understanding that a school's policy applies to all of the orgs it is addressing.

I stated in my post on page 1 that I did not go to Howard.

The school's policy is, of course, applied to all orgs it is addressing. That is the definition of a policy - to address something. This doesn't answer my question.

A school can have a policy that has a line limit of 5 women for DST and a line limit of 10 for AKA and in that case "a school's policy applies to all of the orgs it is addressing."

A school can have a policy that has a line limit of 10 women for DST and a line limit of 10 for AKA and in that case "a school's policy applies to all of the orgs it is addressing."

-Rudey
--Perhaps you attended school with a lower 6 year graduation rate?

I believe that this question was addressed here.

Marie, you believe wrong.

I am asking about school imposed limits and if they differ from chapter to chapter. That post you quoted did not address that.

-Rudey
--This is why people should strive to attend schools with higher rankings

At many schools, the AKAs and Deltas are more likely to have over a certain number per line as compared to the fraternities and other 2 sororities. So, if these schools have caps, the line caps operate across the board but are assumed to only apply to certain organizations. Having varying line caps often defeats the purpose of a line cap.

Perhaps Rudey needs to contact Howard's Greek Life office.

LOL, I see you really don't want answers, you just like to agitate.

Well then, I will address it.

The school, if it choses, sets the MAXIMUM number that ANY org can take, and then the org has the discretion to accept any number of members up to that MAXIMUM number. However, this is a GENERAL explaination. Anything more specific would have to come from the Greek Affairs office of the campus in question.

NB: there may be different caps for IFC/NPC orgs and NPHC orgs to account for the difference in rush procedures and policies.

OK but in your experience, or from what you heard, you are saying that a school can different impose line limits for each NPHC org at the same time?

So, for example, they have previously had a limit of 10 on one org and 5 on another, etc.?

-Rudey

Are you married?

-Rudey

Why? Are you?

I am not, but I am also kinda young.

I was just wondering.

I am all about peace, love, and understanding and I want to understand where you are coming from.

-Rudey

For those that dont know and want to talk trash, LXA was just Chartered at U N A & T, a Historical Black School.

The Young Men had help from The NPHC GLOs.

So, there is more than just talking Stuff.:)

My Congratulations go out to not only The New Chapter of LXA, but the Members of all GLOs on Campus.:cool:

Relations that work among Greeks!:)

Congratulations to them.

There seems to be a hidden point to this post, though.

The A&T Lambda Chis are so awesome. But honestly, it's not very pertinent to this dialogue. If we were discussing a NIC/IFC type organization chartering at Howard, that would be relevant.

i think a straight woman would rather drink rat poison and stab needles in her eyeballs.

Hey! You might be spoiling my hook up. :rolleyes: :D

Really? Cool.
