Alpha Males,
I have a huge issue I need your advice in solving. I am a sophomore in college and ever since before I started, I have wanted to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The interest is still present, however it seems as though last year the Alphas on my current campus would stare at me or if I knew them, they would ignore me sometimes and other times they wouldn't. I chalked this up to me being paranoid and left it alone. I still get that feeling but I've learned to just disregard it.
Also, my homeboy and I were talking about Greeks one night. His older brother attends our school and is an Alpha. Both of us would like to be accepted to pledge. His brother naturally assumes that my homeboy is going to try to pledge Alpha, and knows the same about me because his brother and him had had conversations about it before.
My biggest issue is that I only have a 2.58GPA. I know that you are only required to have a 2.5GPA to pledge an BGLO, but will the fact that I am right on that mark count against me...especially because they are the branded "intellectual" Alphas...or will it be based more on me as a person since I have met the required mark, am involved in community service, as well as my schools SGA, and feel that I bring a lot to the table.
I would appreciate responses ASAP seeing as the Greek Informational Session is on this upcoming Monday and afterward we are given the opportunity to go to break-off sessions for the GLO of our particular interst.
Thank You in Advance,
Lightseeker
