Hey maids,
After years on GC, and seeing somewhat of of a need in my community, I am considering the following idea as a service to my old high school. The school is predominately black with a growing Latino population, and generally 0 percent white/Asian/Native.
"Greek Night"
Graduating seniors and their parents would be invited to an informational meeting organized by Greek alumni of the school. It would have like one keynote speaker and a few other speakers, perhaps speaking about the history of fraternities and sororities, their purpose, how recruitment/rush/intake works.
Then the various organizations in attendance could have informational tables in the back, so after the formal speeches were over, they could pick up brochures, see photos of service, etc.
Here are my objectives:
- Inform students prior to enrolling in college that they don't have to be hazed in order to join anything
- To expose the students to NPHC, NPC, NALFO, NMGC, and NIC orgs (informed decisions)
- Provide a service opportunity for alumni of my high school who are in GLOs
Does this make sense? I know such things may be common for NPC women, but they are not for NPHC orgs. I would include representatives from both, if they were interested.
Thoughts? Please note that if I have a response/question does not mean I am attacking your idea.
