Weren't MiAKA and Delta Beaux/Gent (  ) started as men who had a love for AKA and DST and wanted to help out just like sweethearts help the frats? Weren't many of them men who dated AKAs and Deltas? That's what I was told. |
that's the story i always heard. but like most things, people always take stuff to the next level and go messing up a good thing.
i mean, to me, they are saying "im a gay man who feels like i would fit better in a sorority than a fraternity because i am (more likely) more comfortable around women. therefore i am willing to emulate femininity and in that, imitate being a soror of AKA/DST. and for that NPHC effect, i will put numbers on a mask and stand in height order so i can say i was on a line. how ya like me now - okkkkkkkkk?"
my point - if being a miAKA was once a positive identity, it may be tarnished because it will become synonymous with "gay dudes who want to be sorority girls."
wouldnt it just be more comfortable to come to terms with your masculinity and say, "ok i am gay and i do think im pretty and i want to be greek, but i'm (biologically) a woman first and since sex (not gender mind you) is the one inflexible, absolute requirement of being a sorority member, then no dice for me? besides, im was a man first and gay second so..."
i dunno, thats me trying to make sense of it.
and rashid is always sick with a response - holla!
