Interested in a sorority (no sorority at my campus)
 

hi my name is Ashley and i am currently attending Lehman college. this will be my sophomore year and at my campus there isn't any sorority so i was wondering how can i possibly join one even if its not with my school

If it's an NPC sorority membership you're seeking, you're out of luck.

What kind of sorority are you interested in?

NPC? (Traditional, recruitment-based sorority)

NPHC/BGLO? (Predominately African American)

NALFO/LGLO? (Predominately Latina)

NMGC/MCGLO (Sorority based in actual multiculturalism)

Thanks. You know why.;)

Not that saying "traditional" is less problematic, but I ain't feel like hearing no lip today! lol

Who, us?:D Nah.

You can say "predominantly white" if you're going to say "predominantly African American" and "predominantly Latina."

"Predominantly white" is more accurate than "traditional."

But that's not what I meant.

If she is at Lehman, the NPC sororities there may not even be predominately white.

They remain predominantly white nationally, just like the NPHC sororities and NALFO sororities are still "predominantly" regardless of how diverse a small amount of chapters are.

"Predominantly" is about demographics and not organizational foundation. Why should demographics be the theme for NPHC and NALFO sororities but "traditional and recruitment" is the theme for NPC and "...based in...." is the theme for NMGC. That's inconsistent.

Shut up.

LOL. No. If demographics are the theme, demographics are the theme.

Anyway, there was a thread many moons ago about Hunter College and Lehman College and the small and fleeting Greek Life. The only reference I have seen to Greek Life at Lehman has been Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, and a sorority that I have never heard of. Don't quote me on this but I would not be shocked if they only have a couple of NPHC, a couple of multicultural, and a couple of local sororities.

:)

But I have a serious problem calling my sorority "predominantly white", even IF if we are looking at the percentage of members across the country. I feel like the main difference between, say, mine and Lambda Theta Alpha, is that they pride themselves on being the "First Latin Sorority in the Nation" and, taken from their website, "The year 1975 saw the birth of what started as a vision - an idea of an organization, a sisterhood that would cater to the needs of Latinas and the universal woman." But if any of the NPC sororities said anything about catering to the white woman, it would be absolutely ridiculous.

Then don't call your sorority "predominantly white." ;)

Ha, touché!
