I know right? And the minority/cultural/ethnic Greek world is so interesting as well (is there a better term for this? Or which one is the correct one? I hear people use all of these terms interchangeably although they don't quite mean the same thing). I remember my freshman year when my roommate and almost all my friends were white, and they got me to rush lodge and beta theta pi. Honestly I found the mainstream Greek world pretty cool as well, but Lambdas were so much more intriguing mainly because they were so different from what I had expected and pictured frats to be like. I also liked the idea that I had to *earn* my letters through a lot of "hard work", which made the letters more meaningful to me (of course I'm sure mainstream frats in many schools have something like this as well, but at Northwestern you basically got your letters once you got the bid).
"A good movie for you to watch on the topic of creating a new style for stepping is the movie "Stomp the Yard."
I don't know why I haven't yet watched it. I think at first it was because I was afraid it was going to be like a You Got Served movie (and with more dancing than stepping). Some of my friends thought it was so-so, and others told me it was good and to still check it out, but I didn't think much of it and forgot. But since you say it has redeeming qualities, I guess I have no choice now but to check it out
. Btw, thanks so much rhoyaltempest and everyone else who were so helpful to me. I don't know why I didn't get into Greekchat earlier.
"I dream of the day when I am wearing letters at the age of 80 and I walk down the street and people go "omg!! he's PDPsi!!" just like people do about people who walk down the street wearing Alpha Phi Alpha letters"
That's partly because we have yet to have people as famous as Martin Luther King. I think the most famous lambda that I know of right now is the Standford lambda who won the show Survivor
My aim is hooterslphie, though I'm trying to stay away from aim as much as I can at the moment because midterms are coming up, and I need to stop being so distracted
