"Welcome to the First Coed Multicultural Fraternity Sorority Society"

I couldn't find a founding date on the site.

Fraternity Sorority Society? Really?

Wow.

Yes. DiGamma is many things.










But I can't figure out what.

service group?

Does this mean they were founded in the 1980s or 1990s?

Um....
 

Fraternity, Sorority, and a Society.

They should add Joke to the list. That was mean but I'm sorry. I read some of the stuff on their website and I'm just confused...

Like this?

A Fraternity, a Sorority and a Society were out one day playing a round of golf...

Whoa! LOL! Does that big "2008" in the right hand corner indicate the founding year? I can appreciate the work they're doing.

I thought the same thing until they bragged that they were here before being "multicultural" and stuff were cool.

First Multicultural Fraternity Sorority Society?
 

When were these people founded? If they were founded recently (as in no more than 2 years ago), then they were definitely not the first multicultural coeducational GLO in existence. My organization Theta Delta Sigma Society, Incorporated, which is coeducational and multicultural, has been in existence since 2001, and we're not even the oldest organization of our kind.

:confused: Why do these people call themselves Fraternity Sorority Society?

CHALLUNNNNNNNNNNNGE!!!!!

Do organizations such as yours (and theirs, I guess) have rivals or friendly competition?

See, what I was thinking was that they existed under another name in the 80s and got resurrected and renamed recently. And I dunno, but I have a problem with this.

Case in point, The Fraternal Order of Beaux, Inc., more commonly known as the Delta Beaux/Gents (for which this dude once tried to recruit me) seems to have evolved into a Greek-letter service fraternity called Gamma Beta Chi. And yes, change and evolution are good, but dudes.... Gamma Beta Chi was not founded in 1959.... to their credit, it was a good strategic move to distance themselves from a reputation of sidekickery and/or the unfortunate stereotype that most Beaux were gay.

Part of it felt like a pyramid scheme almost.

Well, I learned something, at least, I never knew what a "DiGamma" was until I googled it after reading the site. And after their explanation of why they are a "fratsorority" or "sorofrat" -- ????? -- this was deeeeepppp:(I also never knew the word "Kemet" before either...)

Not that I know of. Organizations such as ours are few and far between, and are often heavily regionalized to the point that individual Coed MCGLOs may not know other such orgs exist.

I'm humored at the evolution of the Beaux/Gents.

Despite its original purpose in the 1950s, depending on who you ask they escorted Sorors to class and some were the boyfriends of Sorors, there are Beaux/Gents and Deltas who took that organization to the extreme. That's neither here nor there. I guess it's good that they have their own since they were never officially affiliated with us, anyway.


I did feel like Pre-paid Legal started a frat when I read the site. Their interest meetings consist of a wing platter and a power point presentation about how "this is only as profitable as you make it."

:D

This made me chuckle

Yea, this seems like a big ol' joke to me.

That's sad.

I also checked out the Beaux/Gent website and found a lot of errors. Quality control, people!

I'm also in a coed serves fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, we are also anti-hazing found in 1925 and we are serves is so much fun =)
our webside official www.apo.org
and our chapter webside us http://apo.wdgie.com/

OK :)







Speaking of quality control lol...

Yikes.

Delta is anti-hazing and found in 1913, btw.

Alpha Phi Omega..... that's Tom Earp's fraternity, right?

You is wong fro dat!

<------ literally LOLed

Yes, you may be a multicultural coeducational GLO and you may possibly have been founded before them. But are you a Fraternity Sorority Society? They are the FIRST Multicultural Fraternity Sorority Society. :p

There is a pic showing the IBM typewriter from which their standards were typed in 1981. So I think you hit it on the head.

Ignoring the quality control issues of this post, were you founded as a co-ed organization? That is part of their claim to fame.

I was so totally confused by the whole website. Why were there dolphins and pictures that looked like Egyptian symbols? Why are their colors one thing, but they have shades as well. I'm going to take a B.C.

They claim the concept of fraternity, goes back to "Kemet" which is Ancient Egypt.

I got nothin on that except that as far back as civilization goes there have been clans of people who were first blood related, and then culturally related, and then in larger society tied by bonds of profession, brotherhood, vows, etc. I don't know if they're operating off of that sort of logic or anything more specific.

Dolphins... they're pretty?

The dolphin is their symbolic mascot. I didn't get the shades thing either.

This cracked me up... :D

So, is the backwards "F" the symbol of DiGamma? How does one write DiGamma in Greek, or would it be Ancient Egyptian?

Personally, I see this group as another wannabe NPHC org. I could totally see this group being started by people who were rejected from their NPHC org of choice. (<--- I know this statement is not PC, but honestly that is how they come across to me.)
