First of I'm glad the topic has gotten so many repsones. Second for everyone who has said that pledging is the easy part they are correct it is at least twenty times harder after you have crossed. I don't need to mention anything about Dr. King to the sister who brought him up because my LB so eloquently relplied to that topic. To the brother who said how can you let your LB drop, I say Alpha is not for everyone. As the old saying goes, MANY ARE CHOSEN BUT FEW ARE FROZEN. Well at least that is the way it should be. Look if you want to do community service or pick up trash a long the road way or any of the other wonderful things my fraternity does, but you don't want to pledge JOIN THE YMCA. They will be more than happy to take your money. Pledging has been an integral part of black fraternities and sororities since the beginning, and I am not just talking about 1906. I am going back to the rights of passage in Africa. So like I said if you just want to do community service that is wonderful, we as a community need that. However, if you just want to do community service and not pledge don't expect me to call you brother. I don't deal with people who skate and neither would our founders.
