Hello gentlemen! Ladies too!

Let's say the organization to which you belong never existed. Which of the remaining organizations would you possibly be interested in?

And before anyone says it, NO, this is not the same question asked by Original Ape. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I would've pledged Omega.

Good Choice!

Kappa

Sigma or Omega

Sigma Theta Epsilon Christian Service Fraternity

If my fraternity did not exist, none of the others would be in existence.

Reread the title of the thread.

Being completely honest with myself... if I weren't a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I couldn't see myself being a part of a BGLO at all. I honestly respect ALL BGLO's but none of the other ones (on my campus) I feel fit my personality. If I weren't an AKA I'd probably have been more involved with the Black Caucus and organizations of such.

To be perfectly honest, if Zeta didn't exist, I couldn't have joined anything else-I admire the other sororities, but I just couldn't have joined anything other than the marvelous, fabulous Z PHI B!!!!!!

I find it hard to believe that some of yall wont answer the question as it is posted. Although I acknowledge the possibility,I also find it hard to believe that yall never considered any other organization other than the one you are a member of.
Like some of you have responded, if my organization wasn't founded, I wouldn't...Well, I could've said the same thing; but I thought the question to be a good, thought-provoking question. You wont lose love if you acknowlege the possibility of being a member of another organization, so why not answer it? All of them are worthy of respect, don't you agree?

Also, I have another question. What does your interest have to do with which organizations are on your campus? The college I attend doesn't have ANY greek organizations. I am still interested in a particular organization, even if that means waiting until I graduate.


Also, as Original Ape stated, all 9 organizations are worthy of respect. Like many people, I had a hard time deciding which organization to pursue membership with. There were 2 that really stood out to me. I am not ashamed to say that, and I don't know why anyone else would be. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

All of the frats have so many good qualities that I can't decide which one to pursue. I have got my list down to three; but that fluctuates from time to time. Tonight it might be one and tomorrow it could be 4. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I would have taken a look at SGRho if I hadn't pledged Delta. But I can honestly say, I can't imagine it being any better than being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.!

"To DST, I will forever and always be true"

Well, because of where I went to school for undergrad, there were only two choices, AKA and DST. Oh, we had Kappa Sweethearts, too. I had no desire to join a sorority before I went to school, since I didn't know much about them. I was not attracted to the Delta's on my campus, simply not impressed. And until I found out it would ruin my chances at AKA, I was thinking about pledging K-Sweet. So the truth of the matter is that if AKA didn't exist, I probably would've been a K-Sweet.

Thank you, Ethel, sincerely.

In answer to your question, it has a lot to do with it, to me. When I went to college, I didn't know too much about Greek life, so what I saw on my campus was almost all I knew. Then I thought back to people I'd seen in my community and teachers in high school and then also family members. All I knew was AKA and DST, because those were the ones that were visible and that stood out. I had never even HEARD of ZPB or SGRho until after I'd fallen in love with AKA.

My answer was honest. With where I went to school I wouldn't have joined the other organizations. Now that I am in a BGLO and know the great works of all. If I had been at another campus it could have been any of the other three.

Thank you for the clarification Ideal08. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I did answer the question.

Why is that HARD to believe?

My answer is: AKA or NO WAY! So, If AKA didn't exist, then I would not be a member of an organization...(I didn't have 2nd, 3rd or 4th choices "coming up")

TOA (only), did I answer the question to your liking? If not, too bad! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Dang, I Love My Soror!

I understand now MidWest Diva, which was confusing at first. You're not asking "If the organization you have joined wasn't available on your campus, what would have been your next choice?" You're asking "if only ABC, DEF, GHI sororities/fraternities had ever existed, which one would you have been interested in?" It's not a matter of dissing your own, because your own, in its present form, would not exist is this hypothetical.

As such, if Zeta Phi Beta had never been created, and I didn't have the foresight to create Her, I would have probably been interested, based on what I know now, to SGRho. Based upon my particular university, AKA. AND, LOL, based upon to whom I owed the most allegiance from scholarships and because of church family, DST! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I too find it hard to believe that someone who is drawn to the ideals of sisterhood/brotherhood, scholarship and community service would not be at all interested in joining an organization if there were only 3 sororities and 4 fraternities to choose from. Especially since so many people could imagine which organization they would be interested in if they were of the opposite sex. But if you all say so....... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

I would like to thank those of you that actually gave the question some real thought, and gave props to an organization other than your own. That was the real purpose of my question. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Bruh!!!!!!!

You know me. I'm just "playin' the game". Of course I know "thus all othas originate!"

Zeta is the ONLY way! If I hadn't pledged Zeta, I wouldn't have pledged at all!

But if we never existed I guess I would look in this order:

SGRho
DST
AKA

But it's something about the Sex-Z Blue and Pure White that is SIMPLY IRRESISTABLE...I would have ended up a GDI if Zeta didnt exist...

I wouldn't have joined another sorority. No fakin' No frontin'. Although I have Greek love for all, none of the others impressed me either. I'm like Ideal08, I didn't consider joining a sorority until college. I was a Kappa Diamond (yep back in the day when there were Diamonds & not Sweets), so I guess I would've remained an auxilary member. Or had the vision enough to become the founder of my own sorority, you know, a very sophisticated group of young ladies, with service to... you can fill in the blank. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

SkeeeeeeeeeWeeeeeeeeeeee!

Great question MidWest Diva. It would be nice to see responses that totally answered the question.

When I entered college I knew nothing about sororities. The first college I attended did not have any BGLOs. Where I transferred to in my junior year there was AKA and DST. I had no exposure to the other 2 until after I graduated. In my limited time to make a decision my interest was in AKA because of their level of maturity and being active on campus. But I graduated, went to work, got involved in my community, met other people and matured. So, at my current age and mentality, I did independent research and fell in love with SGRho. I made a mature choice at a mature age and it had nothing to do with stepping, calling,partying or anything. I don't step and I seldom "call". Even though I am a "club-a-holic" I seldom go to any Greek parties. I am saying all this to say that at my mature age and having done my research and making a mature decision that is not based on the above -- I would be sincerely interested in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

I too agree with BlueReign--MidWestDiva posed a very interesting question. And to be totally honest, I too had little knowledge about Greeks until I got to college. Although I must say, that when I hit the yard--and any brothers made in the 80s-90s in the Midwest and especially Ohio will agree--Alpha was a dominant, undeniable, intoxicating force. The other frats deserve their credit, but at the time, were leagues behind the brothers. They also embraced diversity and had no standard reputation--I didn't have to be a pretty boy (Kappa), a sports legend (Que) or a book nerd (Sigma). I do happen to be of light complexion, however, and accordingly, was originally approached by Kappa.

I've thought about this long and hard since this topic was first posted. I cannot honestly see myself as anything other than a Delta. While I have the utmost respect for my sister-sorors of AKA, Zeta and SGRho, I cannot honestly say I would be totally comfortable in another sorority. If there was no DST, I would probably be a GDI.

Say young brutha,


Were you a dog or an ape? Who was your Dean?

I think I know that brutha!!!!!!! Was his number 3? How many sands did you have? How "Tau" was your chapter?

That brother was actually from the infamous Key #40 and was made sometime ago on 10/24.

Yeah, you're right. I think he crossed at 9:01pm. He told me you had two sands; and yall were the survivors of a line that was quite large at the start.
