Which Is Better?
 

Ok i need serious help. ok ive always wanted to straight up be in Omega Psi Phi but....... lately the Alpha Phi Alpha been impressing me more but...... Phi Beta Sigma been rollin down my mind. Now i really cant make my mind up. they all are my favorites but heres what starts to draw me apart from each: Q's they are interesting but i dont like tha way colleges that have it step but i love Deltas. A's i love the smooth grind steppin but i cant stand AKAs. Sigmas................... man they make me snore at step shows... but they fly with they steps. now can someone give me an idea out of those three which would br better for me a smooth, layed out, hate pretty boys, love steppin, cool kat. Which should I choose?

If my brothers and sisters in the NPHC orgs will indulge me for the briefest of moments...


YOU GOTTA BE EFFING KIDDING ME.

This NIC kid now steps aside to allow the proper individuals to come on in and regulate.

This is going to be fun.

SpaceGhost,

I am assuming that Omega Kappa Psi is a high school or community fraternity because your profile says that you were born in 1989. Is your fraternity sponsored or advised by members of NPHC organizations? If so, I am disappointed that they haven't done more to show you that fraternity and sorority life is so much more than stereotypes and stepping.

I am an Alpha, but some of my best friends and Sigmas and Omegas. My sisters are unofficially the AKAs, but a true fraternity man doesn't limit himself in the ladies that he associates with -- all women should be placed on the fraternity man's pedestal.

If you are still in high school, that's where your focus should be. The majority of fraternities will not take you until you are a Sophomore in college anyway -- you have time.

Scholarship comes first. Focus on getting in college and learning while you're there. Come visit us again in a few years and let us know which organization you picked.

And by the way....we don't know you, so we can't tell you where you'd be a good fit. Only you can decide that -- and then, even after you decide, there is no guarantee that the fraternity will pick you.

maybe worry about getting your DRIVER'S LICENSE first

Spaceghost,

'89? You're 15 years old, going on 16. Probably a sophomore in high school. Don't worry too much about college activities just yet! Worry about your grades so you can GET IN! And that driving test ;)

Dial back your jets dude.

When you find the right Greek Organization, it will be. Just get there first. Dont rush to judgement to soon.

My son was born in '89. He is still a freshman in HS. Eligible for his permit next month, but no way on this green earth that will be happening. This appears to be from someone almost as immature as my son.

Questions for all on this board-- what is stepping?

DaffyKD

Stepping is a complex performance involving synchronized percussive movement, singing, speaking, chanting, and drama. Step-shows have become a primary site for expressing African American identity. Developed by African American fraternities and sororities, stepping is now practiced in many African American churches, elementary, middle, and high schools, community groups, and Latino, Asian American, and multicultural Greek-letter organizations. Dance ethnographer Jacqui Malone calls stepping "one of the most exciting dance forms to evolve in the twentieth century."

Breaking out the recliner and hot wings...anyone need a beer? ;)

I'll take a Coke too. I'll grab a hot wing as long as it's not the burn your butt kind. ;)

I'm having a dinner of NY strip steak, twice baked potato, cheesy garlic bread, and diet cherry vanilla dr. pepper. If you're nice i'll share with everyone :)

Anyone want pizza? It'll go very nicely with the wings.

Common Guys, give it a rest. Maybe it is a New GCer who is full of Him Self? Or trying ti find out about things that are beyond Him?

Okay, He sounds like an Idiot, it so do not mean He is. Maybe just Young and learning?:)

Work with it and dont Listen to some just listen and then react!;)

Shit, I hope Chicken is ready, I lnpow I am!!!!!!!!!:cool:

Taters and Gravy is!:cool:

I've been meaning to try that... I love diet dr. pepper! Does it taste anything like cherry coke?

it tastes like a mixture of cherry coke and. dr. pepper with just a hint of vanilla. Which is good, IMO, b/c i'm not a huge fan of the vanilla colas.

I don't have a driver's license. I do have a permit. :)

I think it tastes just like Diet Dr. Pepper.

I like the cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. I prefer regular, though. But it's not that bad :)

Anyone mixing up martinis? I'll take one :p

That just seems like too many flavors in one drink.

Beer and soft drinks all around and I have mild, medium and hot wings! I make some killer honey garlic ones too ;)

I'm bringing the margheritas and strawberry dacqueries!

well, since I work at a movie theater, I can provide tons of popcorn if you want.....Lots of butter too....

Hey someone throw me a brew over here.....

How do you eat your jellybeans? One at a time to get the flavors or by the hand-full?

I have to eat mine by the color. I also save the "best" color for last!


*looks in pantry*


I have some pecans I can share, since ZetaPhi708 already has the popcorn!

I got water and salad and bacon and eggs if anyone would like something "healthier."

/is poor
//is sortof dieting, more like trying to generally eat healthy
///but would still like a hot wing or two

RE: Which Is Better?
 

SpaceGhost:

I'd like to offer a couple of observations that may assist you.

The first thing you should notice about this is that all three are undoubtedly exemplary organizations. You'd probably have an outstanding experience and develop a strong sense of real brotherhood in any of them. The second thing you should notice is that you clearly need to investigate your options more (otherwise you'd have already made your decision).

When I was going through rush, I was certain that I had made up my mind about the GLO I wanted to pledge. During a conversation I had with one of the senior members, he suggested to me that since the responsibility you take upon yourself as a member of a fraternity is life-long, it's imperative that you consider all of your options to be sure you are making an informed decision. I checked out several of the other chapters on campus (some more closely than others), and found a lot of respect for one of the other chapters before finally making my decision. In investigating all of my options, I realized two very important facts: 1) there are many GLOs on campus, each of which has their particular strengths, and 2) my original decision was still the best decision. It was this research that served in part to strengthen my attachment for my Fraternity and my brothers.
GLOs can differ from chapter to chapter and from campus to campus. One would do well to exercise caution when making statements such as these to avoid unnecessarily burning bridges. Having such reservations about any particular GLO is one thing, expressing them publicly is another.
Since your profile indicates you're currently 15 years old (with your 16th arriving next month), you've got a few years in which to make up your mind. I would recommend taking the opportunity to meet the members of the chapters you're considering joining and getting to know the kind of atmosphere and strengths each can provide. Ultimately, the choice of which fraternity to rush should be made by you and no one else. The only other point you'll want to consider is that every GLO prefers brothers who earn grades commensurate with their abilities. Concentrate on succeeding in school, and success in Greek life will surely follow. Good luck! :cool:

Very impressive response. I felt the same way about Phi Mu when I pledged.
