A lot of the high school fraternities, from what I have seen are evolutions of the officially sanctioned high school mentoring programs of black fraternities and sororities. ..
Kappa League. . .Delteens. . .AKAlades, etc, etc. . .
Many of them, again in my opinion, became an excuse to step and haze each other. However, those programs that are overseen by the frats and sororities are mentoring programs and service organizations. The independent frats and sororities are more dangerous because they are often underground and unsupervised.
One more thing, I am in favor of clubs, but not fraternities in high schools. . .one major reason, which is bourgie, but I must say it.. . frats are for people in college. I feel like I worked heard to get into college and be eligible to pledge.
I mean, for black greeks at least, if you think back to December 4, 1906, those men were trying to find a safe haven of sorts for each other. What on earth could a young person in high school need with a frat or sorority that they can't do through the Key Club and a step team?
If this sounds mean spirited or nasty in any way, I honestly do not mean for it to sound that way. It is late, I am tired, and I am STILL working on my personal statement.
