Please, A Kappa Viewpoint?, A BGLO Viewpoint?
Noble Gentlemen of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc.,
I am 24 year old graduate of Michigan State University, home of the Delta Pi Playboy Chapter. I went through my whole college career witnessing the suspension of that chapter from the yard. I've wanted to be in your brotherhood since I was younger trying to emulate my uncle who was a founding father of Epsilon Tau Chapter of Ferris State University and my Father who followed. When I grew up to an age where thinking for myself was a must, Kappa was still on the brain. I've read "The Story of Kappa Alpha Psi" from front to back several times and studied the history of your organiztion only to get to college and experience Delta Pi being kicked off the yard when I was a freshman. I was Heartbroken! But I have still studied and waited patiently for almost 5 years to hope to complete what I think is one of the most valuable privaledges a chosen man can attain. Through college I have witnessed "letters" being ripped off someone's chest, specific greeks being shunned by the yard, and a face being spit in all because someone did not get "made" the way someone else might have. I've also witnessed "Paper" greeks being scared to wear parry in public because they were mede to be felt that they didn't belong. My question to those that have crossed the burning sands...If I am privaledged enough to become a Noble man through the Grad Chapter that I have chosen to pursue, will I be treated the same by those who have endured a different process? Will I be able to hang with the different undergraduate chapters and not feel shunned or left out? Am I limited to what I can do as a member? Shouldn't we all share the same language, the same glory? Can I be "made" through Grad Chapter Initiation? It's not my fault that Delta Pi Chapter was off the yard when I was in school. I still made friends with them and the Grad Chapter I am pursuing. I just want to be treated fairly, If and when I have the privaledge to wear letters in public, and not be limited to whom I can talk to, hang out with, and serve the community with. I'd like to hear from a few members on this subject. Please come at with an undergrad or "made" standpoint. I have found that once alot of greeks graduate and start thier careers and actually grow out of the child's play, they change thier viewpoint on the whole Made/Paper topic. Thats why i'm asking you to think back to when you were in school or those who are in school now, and what you thought of those "Paper" or "Grad Chapter" Kappas who came around and wanted to chill, party, or just put in work with you. If possible, I'd also like to hear from a couple members who DID go through a Grad Chapter Process and how you are treated/respected.
Thanks Alot fellas,
Big Cheehf
