OTHER THAN YOURS

Hey yall!

What would yall do if your son/daughter wanted to pledge an organization other than yours? Assume they've done some research.

Well, I would hope my daughter would follow in my footsteps. If not, I would be EXTREMELY disappointed. But, I would have to understand her choice, and I would support her decision, IF it was another BGLO. I would not support her joining a white sorority.

Now, mind you, I would only be supporting her emotionally if she chose to go down the wrong path. Financially, she would be on her own. I'm only PAYING for AKA. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is the only sorority that will EVER get my money!!!

She betta get out of my dayum house with that foolishness!

nawwwwwwwwww....

She can do whatever she wants, but hopefully, she will follow in my footsteps and her grandmothers.

I don't think I am going to have that issue. I have to have a daughter, FIRST!

I am presently trying to get my niece to at least like the color pink! LOL

I have been thinking about this issue a lot lately. (I really don't know why)! If it is an organization that I have respect for (and the majority of them, I do), I would help financially and I would support them during their process. I don't know if I would respect their decision if they pledged an organization that I did not generally have respect for. I definitely would not respect and would be COMPLETELY disapointed if they joined a non-BGLO.

If my future daughter wants to join something else after being groomed for Zetadom...I AIN'T PAYING FOR IT! But, I'll still love her all the same!

I MUST AGREE WITH PRETTYKITTY. IF MY SON DECIDES THAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE A ALPHA MAN...ITS COOL!!! I'M JUST NOT FINANCING ANYTHING ELSE BUT A PHI A.

I also agree with PrettyKitty & Ideal08.

Yall talkin' a bunch of sheit! Yall KNOW yall plan to spoil yall's kids; and therefore would still finance their decisions. Why perp?

EXCUSE ME!

YES, my child will be spoiled like her mother, but she better try going to her daddy or paternal relatives for the funds if her choice is NOT ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA, INC.!

rotflmbao@Original Ape...I am dead serious...
I AM NOT PAYING! I will probably buy her a gift after she crosses...but I won't pay for it...esp. since she would have been groomed for ZetaDom since birth...

hey, my 6 yo twin sisters have been Zphiing and doing my handsign since they were 2...and if you ask them what Sorority they want to be in when they grow up, they'll say Z PHI B...now that's grooming ;-)

HE'S ALREADY SPOILED AND HE ALREADY KNOWS THAT HE IS BOUND TO BE A MEMBER OF THE GREATEST FRATERNITY..THE FIRST.. ALPHA PHI ALPHA. HE LOOKS AT THE WEB SITES AND EVERYTHING!!! HE'S ONLY 3 YRS. OLD AND HE'S BEEN TO 3 STEPSHOWS...AND WHEN THE ALPHAS STEP HE SITS BY THE STAGE. OH YEA...HE IS ALPHA BOUND!!

If and when I have anybody's child...

I'd tell 'em like all my folks told me, "you can go anyway you want, but I'm only payin' for one..."

But, if my child decides otherwise, I'd still talk to him/her, maybe, but it wouldn't be for a while...

Just kidding.

All I gotta say is: "Teach a child about God when they are young, and they will never depart it..."

Oh well...

Although I gave it much consideration, I am not a member of my father's organization. He only asked me for reasons to support my choice and I gave it to him. He was surprised as well as most of my family and friends. In fact, at my high school reunion everyone assumed I was a member of that organization but I gladly held up the Alpha sign.

I really want my God son to be an Alphaman. He has interests in another frat and really fits their mold. Sadly, I think I'm going to support him and fork over the money!

Ummmm...my future daughter and goddaughters will be groomed to go the ZetaWay or the highway unless they are truly unqualified for membership. While I would "support" their decision (this is my child/heart after all, and their health, welfare and happiness will always come first), I would be extremely disappointed. I have been never tiring in my efforts for Zeta, as has my mother (Zeta) and my grandmother (Amicae). I cannot imagine that any girl child in my daily presence would not be overwhelmed by the light of Zeta and not decide to seek it herself.
