Dokme
 

I'm in the process of pledging for a sorority and they call their New Member Manual a DOKME. Can someone please tell me what the word DOKME means? I've heard that there a few other organizations that call their NM manuals this but I have no idea what it means. PLEASE HELP!!!:confused:

I have never heard of that term. It's probably something specific to the organization you are in. Why don't you ask you new member educator?

The NM Educator is the one who assigned us to go and find out what DOKME means!:(

Are you pledging a national organization?

No, it's a pretty large local org, though!

If I'm not mistaken, it is the root of the English word "dogma," which means (among other things) a system of principles or teachings. My dictionary shows this etymology for dogma:

[< L < Gk, equiv. to dok(ein) (to) seem, think, seem good + -ma n. suffix]

This would seem to suggest that the meaning is something along the idea of "teaching" or "sound thinking."

Hope this helps.

dokme? dok you! go dok yourself!!!

Ummmm, gentlemen...did we forget the main focus of this thread? I seriously need help figuring this out.

Hootie, I've read through the entire manual and got no clues. I know the founder's names and that couldn't possibly be the answer either. I need to keep looking.

Thanks for all of your help!

Oh shit thats seriously the funniest thing I have heard all day.
