hey, pink bunny,
thank you for your response. very nice of you. I don't mind you asking me why I pledged. The reason started back when I was a student at a community college. One of my good friend ask me if i wanted ot go to a alpha phi alpha smoker. At that time, i thought it would be cool. I was supposed to be on line but i decided to wait because I was close to obtaining my associate of arts degree. At my first quarter as a student at cleveland state, I was in between classes, so I went to the unversity student center(a.k.a. the cage). There, i saw a whole bunch of fraternities with their rush tables, recruiting new members. I have check every one of them. The first table I came across that I came across was sigtau. I talk with the rush chairman and I was giving a flyer to attend a rush party. The second fraternity that I visited was phi beta sigma fraternity. They gave me some info. I went to two of the sigtau parties and I had a great time. then, I went to visit the fraternity house and I was impress by it. A week later, I was invited to a spghetti dinner. There, I recieved my bid. Pledge acceptance was on the follwing sunday. At the same time, Phi beta sigma had sent me a letter inviting me to their smoker. Now, what was wild about this was both on their stuff was schedule on the same day, which was sunday. It took me all the way towards the day before to decide which group would I benefit the most from. I chose to pledge sigtau because they were very friendly to me. Plus, they really want me to join.I feel I could make a impact with this group. So, I went that route and the rest is history. since then, there were three more african-americans that pledge after I cross. one of is currently an active brother as I. He came in spring'98. Hopefully, I have answer your question about I why I pledged. If you have any more questions, Please feel free to ask me. I'll be more than happy to answer.
p.s. I like your username. very cool(smile).
