Senusret, that was a really good story and for a lot of NPHC GCers here it epitomizes the true and proper way for an aspirant to pursue one of the NPHC orgs. I'on like the way you talked about "Wesley Pipes" tho'

but different strokes for different folx.
[hijack]Btw, how did I get labeled as a "Wesley Pipes", that cat is the antithesis of my org, though I definately could see him as a "Viking" A-Phi-Que, he would fit that org (or faction thereof) like a custom-made shoe *lol*

[/hijack]
Believe it or not, based on your story, I think that this thread would make a good sticky for this forum as an example of how would-be NPHC Greeks should properly pursue such an org.
Maybe I should tell the REAL story involving my 14-year quest to be a member of uh.....Wesley Pipes (good grief *lol*). I'on know, we'll see.
Thanx for sharing anyways....
