My dad, a few close friends, and a few family members are Que's, but for some reason, i feel like i wont be accepted as a traditional que. I am a preety boy...some girls that i kno (sorors) told me i look more like a kappa...can some one tell me...should i keep the legacy, or pledge something else???

To be brutally honest with you, at this point in your young life you should not become Greek--period. To make a serious commitment which is life-long and to a chosen fraternity means to make it, ideally, in a mature manner. To relate why one chooses a particular group to a simple stereotype, which one tries to relate to one's suitability according to some superficial characteristic, is not worthy of any organization. Speaking as one who does not fit the so-called Que stereotype, after I pledged almost 30 years ago, I had an experience of reflecting on what Omega is really about
: Christian manhood and friendship. It's a beautiful thing!!!! In its own way, Omega is a very diverse organization but it's not for everyone, just for men, men with gravitas.
If you aspire to be a man, make intelligent, soul-searching choices on the basis of truth and sincerity. To become an Omega (or whatever) is a privilege not a right. The real question you should be asking is this: Am I the same caliber of person as the men in my family who are Brothers of Omega Psi Phi, Ques, Sons of Blood and Thunder? Maybe some other fraternity will be your default fraternity once you do some soul searching. Your daddy, uncle, brother, etc. will not make those "burning sands" any cooler for you if you aspire to become an Omega man.
