Being a non-greek HBCU grad. The reason why I I'm not greek is 3-fold.....
1) I was an athlete.... that may not seem like a good reason, but my sport is heavy into travel in the Spring. With rush being mandatory.... I was never in a position to go... without trying to plot not being missed by my coach or team. It didn't work out.
2) When I arrived on campus, the sorority I was interested in was serving out the last year of a suspension. They were back on campus the next Fall and by Spring the presented a line 100+. Not to knock a 100+ line, but in seeking to be apart of something exclusive,
at that time, the politics made greek life unattrative for me.
3) Choices.... With my sport, scholarship and rush.... things never seemed to come together. I came to the conclusion that if it was meant to be, it will be. I went on to play in the NCAA's, graduate and get Grad. Assistanship and earn my Master's. Still a non-greek HBCU grad, but happy with my decisions
