I know that not many folks are going to be open to answering this question but, I'll ask it anyway. What is the intake process like for BGLO's?

Oh and add 3 cups of the episode of A Different World where Ron pledges Kappa Lambda Nu to the equation.

When you get to the point where you receive an application, you'll know.

Because I was tired of crazy people PMing me. You can still email me at myfirstname.mylastname @ gmail.com if you want -- or, I will be on AIM in a second.

If I tell you, I'll have to kill you. But I will say this, from what I have heard it is very similar to the intake process for the masons right down to the lines, numbers, crossing jackets, etc.

Thanks ladygreek. If that is the case, then I am all too familiar. I mean that in a good way.

The two are nothing alike, first Masons don't do an intake process, it is not pledging either, we have no crossing jackets (you haven't crossed anything), line numbers, or line names. Not fussing at you Ladygreek just clearing things up. If you are a Mason (Prince Hall only, the others don't count, yes I meant to offend, get right or get gone) and experienced these things then you were brought in WRONG. Masonry does not concern itself with such matters those are a Greek thing and to truly experience it one should become Greek. Having experienced both there are gentle similarities but overall they are different creatures all together.

Back to the subject, Square everything you need to proceed into a BGLO is in your lodge but if you think you can figure it out before you get in you are wasting your time before you became a Mason you were in the dark the same thing exist for Greekdom. Safe travels to you.

So I guess you didn't pick up on the fact that she was being sarcastic.

hol on....u're a Mason, i'm assuming by the travelman357 sn...PHA at that...so, you should already have a pretty good idea of what its gonna be like. i'll say this this...no 2 processes are alike. and why didnt you just bump one of you're old threads about the nphc orgs and just add this question in there?

Yes, I am that as well as a Shriner so, I have experienced some initiation processes. I have heard that the processes are similar but of course, I won't be sure until I experience the greek process myself. My goal is to just get some insights from those like yourself, who have already been through it.
