Creating a colony at Harvard?
 

Hello all. I have a 1 year old and I would love for his to follow in his mothers footsteps and go to Harvard. I contacted Alpha Phi Omega and I hope my son when he is much older! lol, to create a "colony" at Harvard. Any thoughts.

Thank you and kind regards.

So, is anybody else totally confused by the above post?

First of all your child is ONE YEAR OLD. For the Love of God, you are jumping WAY ahead. What if he isn't accepted into Harvard, or maybe doesn't want to go? Even thinking about this makes my head hurt. :rolleyes:

Why feel that way? As a Gamma Sig its my duty to create considering my undergrads "appearance" when I was in attendance. Its important that the National Pan-Hallenic council is broken. Why not have my son have a healthy and fulfilling upbringing? Im apart of almunae chapter that is brand new.

Why is it important that the NPHC is broken?

Hi WhiteRose 1912. Its important for the National Pan-Hallenic council to be followed by TBS GSS/APO etc.. because there are acts of violence still happing in our community that is still unacceptable for anyone; regardless of the sorority of your choice. Id rather not be cut in my face by "Kings County" thank you.

This OP went to Harvard? The OP that is apart of her almunae chapter?

What needs to be broken is your assault on the English language.

No typos there "sir"...

In 18 years, when your son matriculates at Harvard, talk to him about this idea and suggest that he contract their HQ to form a colony. That's all you need to know/do. If he is interested, he will follow up. Or maybe another student there will have had this idea and formed a chapter in the several years to come. In the meantime, enjoy being a mom of a toddler.

^^^This is the best, most realistic advice you are going to get on this thread. Take it. We are very confused because you do not seem to have a solid grasp of the English language despite apparently attending a four-year university and because you are already planning for your one-year-old to go to Harvard despite the fact that right now he can't even eat without your help, let alone go to one of the most prestigious schools in the country. You are WAY too far ahead of yourself here.

Interesting.

Am I the only one who felt like their head exploded reading this? TBS, NPHC, acts of violence, one year olds?

I'd like to sing "one of these things is not like the other" ... but "none of these things is like any of the others"

Alpha Phi Omega brother here...
 

I'm an alumnus of Alpha Phi Omega (initiated in 1986) and I've had several friends among the alumni volunteers in Boston including one who was a graduate student at Harvard. As of the last time I talked to them about this (a couple of years ago), Harvard's student activity rules were written in a way where Alpha Phi Omega (although co-ed) could not be recognized as a student organization.

Unlike some members of the NIC, NPC and (all of?) the NPHC, Alpha Phi Omega does allow active chapters to exist without the recognition of the fraternity as a student organization on that campus. It also does not allow for active membership by students at one school at a chapter chartered to another school. There has been a recent change which would allow an undergraduate student at Harvard to be an Honorary brother of a chapter, but that would need approval by a national board member.

It is entirely possible that in the next 16 years that the student activity rules at Harvard may change so that Alpha Phi Omega would be able to charter a chapter at Harvard. With more than 6,000 undergraduates, local active chapters and local staff, I believe that after a change to the rules it would be an immediate extension target.

However, until those rules change, no action of any type is going to be taken in regards to that school.

WTFO?

this is obviously a troll, I mean look at the screen name. Sensitive "As #$@!" what the af stands for.

I doubt she created the account in 2001 just to troll us 12 years later.

I find it interesting that OP is all "NPHC must be broken" when she was posting in the AKA forums over the past 12 years

Ah let them pledge...we'll see what happens. Thank you for your imput. The APO at Tuskegee are cool also.

Should things change so that Harvard students *can* pledge, that will be an option.

I'm not sure if there are any Pi Zeta chapter brothers on Greekchat, but thank you.

LOVE THIS!

To the OP - as an alumnus of Alpha Phi Omega, I don't agree with your assertion that Alpha Phi Omega needs to "break the NPHC." That idea goes against the ideals of the fraternity.

As an aside, the first day that Alpha Phi Omega shared a campus with NPHC organization was depending on how you count it

* January 11, 1927 when Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega at U of Pittsburgh was chartered (Omicron of Alpha Phi Alpha having been chartered in January 30, 1913, Omicron Psi of Omega Psi Phi was founded March 27, 1927 and chartered March 10, 1928)

* May 10, 1930 when the NPHC was founded at Howard University.

WTF, Kim Jong Un is gonna blow us all to kingdom come before your rugrat gets anywhere near Harvard.

I don't get how it seems like he/she forgot to speak English? I mean, a few years ago, it was fine...

"Imput". Enough said.

Maybe this is another case of someone's account getting hijacked, as we were told happened to Low C Sharp.

:cool:
Me too when I saw it.
