LGLOs at your school?
 
Bored at work, so I decided to start a new threat. :)

I'm just wondering how many of you have LGLO chapters at your school? If yes, which campus are you on, and which organization(s) do you have there? Do you co-sponsor activities together?

Just curious about GCers experiences with LGLOs, so feel free to share!

_Opi_ 08-04-2004 12:56 PM

We have these GLOs on campus:

Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, INCORPORATED
Lambda Theta Phi Fraternidad Latina, Inc
And another one (can't think of the name right now)


They are involved on campus and are also do joint events with NPHC.

KSUViolet06 08-04-2004 01:02 PM

We have Alpha Psi Lambda co-ed Latin fraternity here @ Kent. I believe it's the Kappa chapter (established in 1997).
They are part of Black & Latino Greek Council.

At Loyola University Chicago,
we have
Alpha Psi Lambda (to which I belong)
Sigma Lambda Gamma - sorority
Sigma Lambda Beta - fraternity
Lambda Upsilon Lambda - fraternity
Gamma Phi Omega - sorority

We have hosted events with the Gamma Phi Omega's and the Sigma Lambda Gammas.

Kevin 08-04-2004 02:22 PM

There's a Sigma Lambda Gamma.

I'm pretty sure that's it though.

TheEpitome1920 08-04-2004 02:27 PM

Sigma Lambda Beta
Sigma Lambda Gamma
Gamma Phi Omega
Tau Phi Sigma
Alpha Psi Lambda
Lambda Upsilon Lambda (city wide chapter)

Zeta Phi Beta has co-sponsored with Alpha Psi Lambda and Sigma Lambda Beta.

Sister Havana 08-04-2004 02:34 PM

IU has:

Gamma Phi Omega (Alpha chapter!)
Sigma Lambda Beta
Sigma Lambda Gamma

Senusret I 08-04-2004 04:17 PM

I'm sure you already knew this, but Georgetown has chapters of Lambda Upsilon Lambda (Georgetown, GW, American) and Lambda Pi Chi) Georgetown and American.

Above-ground pledging was very commonplace there, since the university didn't recognize it.

I know with certainty that they cosponsored parties, meet the greeks forums, and an all-greek barbecue that started last year. I don't know about programs or service projects, though.

Alpha Psi Lambda was supposed to have a colony here on campus last year. I don't know what happen to them.

All of the LGC IFC NPC and NPHC groups do greek week, and I know of some sororities from different councils that do mixers/dinners.

One woman from Lambda Theta Alpha was telling me she wanted to set up a picnic for the 'firsts' between them, us and AKA. i thought it was a cool idea.

BabyP 08-05-2004 01:36 AM

At CSUS -

Lambda Theta Nu

and there is one trying to set up - Sigma Lambda Gamma

_Opi_ 08-05-2004 09:03 AM

I know I already know, but it helps for those that are not in the know. :)

LOL, in case you can't tell, I'm VERY bored at work today.

Does that mean your school doesn't have rules against hazing, etc.? I know of several schools that don't recognize greeks at all, but I always assumed they would be stricter on above ground pledging rather than more lenient.

Mornin'! I just double checked the school website, and basically it says that no student organization can haze.

If an administrator happens to see a individual student walking around with a black peacoat and yellow gloves or not speaking to anyone around them, there's really nothing they can say or do. It's the student's choice and the university can't infringe on how a student dresses or who they speak to.

Now I am sure if there was imminent danger to the student, the university would have a responsibility to step in. But in my chats with administrators from years ago, they definitely didn't like it, but they knew they couldn't do anything.

enlightenment06 08-05-2004 10:39 AM

GWU
 
Lambda Upsilon Lambda
Sigma Lambda Upsilon
Lambda Pi Chi

We co-sponsor events with them all the time

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Very, VERRRRRY interesting. So I understand they cannot prevent students from wearing certain things or not speaking to anyone if that is what the student chooses. Which makes sense. But another question: What if several students, who all choose to dress the same way, also choose to march on line (locked up) on campus. Could the administration step in then? Or what if they choose to run everywhere, or cut corners? I'm just wondering how far the administration will let the orgs go before they step in and say something?

and P.S. G'Mornin to you, too!!!

I have no idea how far things have to go before the University steps in. As long as they are not using university resources or violating school rules, I just don't see them stepping in.

I have definitely seen all the same things you've mentioned, but you know....if it's not happening to the president of the SGA, I don't think it's on the radar. It's KNOWN, but it's not priority.

Iowa State University:
Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority, Inc. (part of the ISU NPHC)
Sigma Lambda Beta (part of the ISU IFC, they dont get along with NPHC for some reason)

I've talked with some of the women of Gamma about doing either a social activity or some philanthropy/community service- but nothing as of yet.

Our LGLOs are basically like our NPHC orgs and dont do anything with IFC or CPC.

Sigma Lambda Beta is nationally affliated with IFC, not NPHC. So why are they expected to be apart of NPHC:confused:

DeltaSigStan 08-05-2004 02:25 PM

SDSU:

Fraternities:
Nu Alpha Kappa
Gamma Zeta Alpha

Sororities:
Alpha Pi Sigma

There's some multicultural GLOs whose membership is predominantly hispanic, but I'm guessing those don't count.

They were part of NPHC at ISU for the last X-many years but 2years ago or a year ago left it and just recently joined IFC since NPHC wouldnt let them join again.

yeah, your girls here are nice. i remember sitting next to them at welcome week, and chatting with them. (i'm alum, so i don't know all the newer members to all the GLO's on campus, like i use to)

tld221 08-07-2004 04:26 PM

NYU LGLOs
 
as far as i know, we have SIA and Phiota fraternity (im not sure of their official name--perhaps Phi Iota Alpha?)

ive seen 2 SIA ladies in jackets, and a few Phiotas when putting on events duriing Hermanidad (our Hispanic Heritage Month here at school)

aside from the bi-annual club fair, round robins before rush, and greek week, i dont think any of the orgs work together on anything. but that coudl be a very wrong assumption on my part.

ETA: Lambda Pi Chi Sorority is also on our campus, though i have never heard or seen any members.

D_Chi_Zinni 08-07-2004 04:54 PM

AT BGSU
 
Sigma Lambda Beta
Sigma Lambda Gamma
Delta Chi Phi - Just started last semester, Some girl dropped out of Phi Mu I guess and started a Multi-Cultural Sorority because she didnt feel like she belonged. At least that is the gist of what the website says.

Lambda Sigma Gamma is multicultural, but overall I believe their membership is predominately Latina.

kandy36 08-07-2004 08:31 PM

we have lamda theta alpha and lamda theta phi..and they are(no offense to anyone affiliated but im voicing my opinion) some of the most ignorant and cocky people i have ever met in my entire life. they dont talk to anyone but their brothers and sisters. they dont participate in greek week or rush but they get mad when the school doesnt really recognize them as an impact on the greek community. me being latina, i would love to interact with them but they just dont like me.:(

actually, SLB is affiliated with NALFO, like most of the larger LGLOs.

The reason that many colleges and universities lump LGLOs into NPHC is that there are usually no latino/a or multicultural councils set up and it's easier to put them in an already established council that's run somewhat close to how they're run. A lot of schools (mine included), however, are realizing that the members of D9 are historically linked and are setting up multicultural greek councils

and for the original question...

At the University of Texas at Arlington, we have

Fraternities
Omega Delta Phi :D
Sigma Lambda Beta
Lambda Theta Phi (recently kicked off)
Delta Alpha Omega (local)

Sororities
Kappa Delta Chi
Lambda Theta Alpha
Sigma Lambda Gamma
Theta Chi Omega (local)

They are also affiliated with the NIC, as TheEpitome1920 stated.

how is an organization able to fall under 2 councils? :confused:

because their national organization has decided to become members of both councils. i'm sure there are benefits of being a member of both nationally. there are several that have done this, 2 NPHC fraternities and i think 2 LGLOs.

on a local level they probably operate under one or the other council, if both exist on their campus.

We have both those organizations on my campus as well BUT I have met & talked to many of the ladies of LTA. I had a high school friend that became a sister of LTA. She loved her time there but she finished school. Once she was gone, these ladies that were always super friendly didn't speak to me anymore. Then, I was accused of being a race traitor for joining an NPC sorority. I was told that it was girls like me that hold back the Latino movement. I was like "HUH?":confused: I later received numerous e-mails telling me to drop my affiliation & jin their group. I could then prove that I wasn't a race traitor. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I think the organization is a great one for those who are interested but I it's the people in the organization that gives the rest of them a bad name.

I'm quite familiar with the practices of university's regardling LGLOs since I helped found the MGC at my university and was president. ;) However, local NPHCs that allow LGLOs under their umbrella are violating national rules.

Yup, Kappa Alpha Psi and Iota Phi Theta are also members of NIC and NPHC.
