Pi Chapter
 

I'm a Morehouse student waiting eagerly for the nupes to return to our campus. I've heard an array of stories about when they will return and when there will be a line. I've wanted to be apart of this organization as long as I can remember so I know alot of history. I also know why Pi chapter was suspended in the first place. With all these things known, you can see how the return date of the nupes has been eating away at me. If you could please tell me when they will officially return and when will they possibly have another line?

Brown Blackness, I don't know when the Nupes at Morehouse will return. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. You shouldn't worry about that. And actually it's a fraternity matter, and since you're not a member it's of no concern to you. My advice to you is, just make sure that your shit is tight so that whenever they come back on campus you'll be ready. Just keep your eyes and ears open. And another thing, slow down son! Good things come to those who wait. And if your heart tells you that Kappa is the way to go, there's always membership through an Alumni Chapter.

My frat brother is right. Worry about your grades and achieving, and less about what GRAND Pi is doing. When and if it comes, all will know.

Thanks for the advice. I have one more question though. Could you and any other nupe go into detail as far as what I could be doing now to make sure my shit is tight when GRAND PI returns?

Truthfully speaking, if you don't know then you'll never know. If you've done your research, you'll come upon a list of Great Men who founded the organization and ones who have since been brought into this illustrious bond. Take a look at them, and you'll know what you need to do. Like my frat said, worry about your grades and acheiving.

What's the deal with PI chapter nupes? I've heard all these stories about pledging Viper after you "cross the sands." Word is, these cats act like they are the Alpha chapter.

I truly have no beef with any of these kat’s interested in our fraternal clan but damn…I remember waiting for 3 yrs to get down and even taking classes Nupes were in to meet these dudes. Not saying that things should be like that today…but real talk Nupes if you had the internet and all of the resources these dudes have...how different could things have been. So instead of hitting up Nupe Chat groups and talking to random brothers online…try introducing yourself to bruh’s at your school, around your area or local alumni chapters who could actually help you on your journey. (Sorry so wordy)

LOL@this thread being created in 2000. My brother was on the line that the guy was waiting for. I wonder if he made the line.

Pi I need help!
 

Yo, I am a nupe from EP and know a bright young man that wants to attend Morehouse. The only thing stopping him from applying is there is no Kappa Alpha Psi Chapter. My question is can he cross pledge at Ga state or another undergrad school while attending Morehouse or can the Atlanta Alum Chapter pledge him? Are there any brothers at Pi that transfered from other schools who could pledge him? How long oh Lord will we let the best and brightest go non-HBCU becuase they happen to still have an active chapter?

It seems that if you are a "Nupe" you would know the answers to your questions.

And I don't think the best and the brightest chooses their choice of college based on what fraternities or sororities are there--at least I hope not except as a tie-breaker.

I vote that he is knot a knupe.

(And I can't lie....if my school didn't have a Delta chapter, it never would have been my school. LOL)

LMAO! Busted!

Let me first apologize to the community if I approached the subject of cross pleading in such in nonprofessional terms. I should have not taken for granted that somebody who subscribes to this site would have given me an uncomplicated answer to such a multifarious question. Nevertheless, The question of when will the Pi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Inc. return to Morehouse is just one of the factors of my young friend’s deciding progression. Now I cannot speak for the young man about why he places Fraternity so high on his list but I can speculate. It might be he would be the fourth generation of Kappa men in his family. It might be that he has weighed the benefits of attending Howard, Tuskegee, Morehouse, and yes, Emory and all have their strengths and weakness. It might be that he understands Cornel West’s critique; “West expresses nihilism as "the profound sense of psychological depression, personal worthlessness, and social despair widespread in Black America. Nihilism exists in black communities and causes a loss of love and hope, which can be the destruction of individuals, and the young man wants to be part of the solution, and not a victim of the condition, by developing a true sense of identity that fraternal organizations provide, especially my beloved Kappa Alpha Psi. In closing, I would not be true to my bond, the testimony of 19 weeks on-line, and being a former chapter Pole, by not being somewhat lamented about folks questioning the validity of my claim. In loving response, all I can say is, “ Many are Called, Few are Chosen, (and some of you don’t have a damn clue!)

The point is that if you ARE a member, why would you ask some random folks on a message board? What happened to your lb or chapter brothers? Since you are a past chapter polemarch, isn't there someone you can contact?

This is a message board where there is no way to confirm that people are who they say they are and therefore is the last place a bonafide member should be asking about their own organization's membership policies......!

As a member of my org I know our policies on "cross pledging." That was my point to you. I attend national conventions and regional conferences, keep abreast of our Constitution and Bylaws and other org. tools. If you are a former chapter pole, the why aren't you up on such stuff? Let me ask you, where you in my city this summer? And btw, 19 weeks ain't nothing--try 8 months.

It seems that you are the one without a clue if you don't even know your own org's policies and have to come on a PUBLIC message board to get your answers.

You are doing the MOST.

Again, let me apologize for asking for information about the status of Pi chapter. I did not realize it was violation of the national security act I just thought that a brother might know how the chapter is going about maintain its presence at Morehouse. I have obtained the information I needed via official channels. I really was directing my conversation to brothers…who understand most of the information about Greek organizations is not a secret, as most of you would like to believe. Moreover, this policy really concerns Morehouse and the policy makers at the fraternity. As for asking my original question on a message board, in most instances, Greek chapter status and there removal and return to any campus is public knowledge. Besides constitutions are amended, as to stay applicable to the growth of any organization, if that were not the case the United Statues constitution would still consider most of us as 3/5 human. What is atypical to me is how non-Kappas feel that they have some Greek given right to respond to questions that really do not concern them, especially when they do not know the correct answer to the requested question. I would think a simple, “I do not know “would have sufficed. Furthermore, when did it become acceptable to define someone else’s commitment and participation to their organization by the national and regional meeting they attend? My work is with the youth of Atlanta, which took precedence to attending dinners, concerts, and political end fighting. I have attended my share of Grand National Meeting .With that said, I feel I represent the goals and mission of my Beloved Fraternity in lives of those who need positive African-American male models. In addition, my past work with St Jude’s is inline with the current direction of Phi Nu Pi. I really do not need or appreciated the “If you are a Kappa reference”. Have we as a people gotten to the point in our culture that we assume the lie before conceding the validity of the truth? We have enough that from the media and government, let us not do it to each other. I have long past that point where I need a Delta or any other sorority (or fraternity member for that matter) to validate and affirm my life as a Kappa Man.

Yours in the Bond

Oh my GOD, why are you doing so much????

Which is what you should have done in the first place.

what does multifarious mean?

It means my posts are lame, so I have to throw in words like this to give them some credibility. :D

I am sorry I posted such lame words on this highly respected web-site. Forgive me. Please can we end this...and join together in a spirit of love and prayer about the real issues that keep us from being all what God as called each of us to be, do and become.

Blessings my sisters!

Here is some real news that we can use.


Several black colleges are looking for future black male teachers and will send them to college or university free for 4 years. The Call Me MISTER program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African American male teachers particularly among South Carolina's lowest performing public schools. Program participants are selected from among under-served, socio-economically disadvantaged, and educationally at-risk communities. The program is a collaboration between Clemson University and four historically black colleges in South Carolina: Benedict College, Claflin University, Morris College and South Carolina State University. The project provides: Tuition for admitted students pursuing approved programs of study at participating colleges; An academic support system to help assure their success; A cohort system for social and cultural support.

What does this have to do with Pi Chapter?

kappa quick, you said you came in 1979... surely... you didn't need... you must have...

oh fugg it, never mind...

*staying in my lane*

My last post has nothing to do with the Pi chapter other than providing some general information that provides much needed resources for funding the college education for African-American men. I am sorry if it has no use on this thread. For example after serving as an Officer in the United States Army, then a Marketing Manger for a Fortune 50 company, I decided to answer God's call and attend seminary at the Interdenominational Theological Seminary. My goal is to develop ministries that foster a sense of personal responsibility, Christian service, and civic pride for Young African American men. I suppose in that light, since the Pi chapter (Morehouse) has historically provided our country men with those same goals, I thought it might inspire someone to pass along that information.

Okay, this explains a lot. :cool:

Did you take any math or logic classes? This such a roundabout way to try to make something totally wrong appear right....:confused:

Alan, come on. It just seemed strange that a 28-year Kappa would come on a public message board and pose the question you did. I mean we would expect it from a neo, but not a seasoned member such as yourself.

I'm confused. :o

true dat NUPE. GDI's got too many resources about the frat to choose from.

You said you are 79 huh? What you know about 74?
