Pledging Backwards...
 

Is it ok to pledge a sweet heart organization after you have pledged a D9 organization? For example a Zeta friend of mines wants to be a K-sweet. :eek:. Also is it ok to pledge a service frat/sorrority after you pledge D9?

Is that not kind of backwards?:confused:

Only if you consider other orgs to be "steps" towards the D9.

I say let folks join what they want to join. What order they do them in doesn't matter to me.

Yes I do. To me it's like Shaq trying out for the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Full Life Episcopal Holy Redemer Church of the Living God youth basketball team.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

*shrugs*

Oh well, other folks don't see the D9 as the pinnacle of Greekdom.

I don't see the D9 as the pinnacle of greekdom. But think about it. :confused:

If that is Shaq's home church and he wants to join their team, should he be given a pass?

Good point. And I agree with Jubilance. If that is what someone wants to do then so be it. For me the greater issue would be wanting to join and organization that is not recognized by the frat to which it attaches itself.

I have, and I really don't care. Folks can join whatever orgs make them happy.

To each is own, but why would someone want to latch on to another person's sub-group, when they have a lot of work to do in their own organization. Seems backwards to me. That's like getting your Ph.D and then going to a junior college or vocational school. Why?

But some people actually do that. If you have a PhD in English lit but now you want to be an electrician, you'll have to go back to school to do that.

That would raise concerns for me as well.

Is she currently dating a Kappa?

Joining an organization that has a separate, specific, independant and ITS OWN autonomous purpose falling outside the scope of the those covered by D9 organizations doesn't seem to be a backwards step.

It just not the "norm" most people are accustomed to seeing.

But the "backwards" analogies that have been shared ARE interesting.

Please keep 'em coming.

Very good point.
