If you have letters, a ritual, a charter, a pledge class, etc. .... there is simply no other way around the fact that you are Greek.

Nevertheless, there are different classifications of Greeks that people like to place KK Psi and TBS in but I still say that they are definitely Greek.

Social Fraternities and Sororities say that we are not greek because we are selected by other standards... like 1. exceptional service rendered to the band and it's program. 2. consistently excellent musicianship 3. outstanding band leadership and the like. These qualities being the basis of membership give the socials the impetus to place us in the "honorary" category.

On the campus where I marticulated, KK Psi and TBS were a phenomenon and a force to be reckoned with. People had to recognize and repect us. All of the leaders on the campus passed through the hallowed corridors of the Music Department to take place in Band Practice. After practice was over and the business of the band was handled, you could not find an organization who could socialize on the level of KKPsi and TBS.

Personally, I think that the designation of "social" versus "honorary" amounts to little when you observe the behavior of the organizations out in the "world" of the college campus in which they exist.
