What do you think of this???
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he pointed out some real differences between white and black fraternities/sororities.
For instance, white sororities are very, very big, so they are able to recieve a lot of money within the chapter, having more money to put in their fraternity/sorority home, making it a home, making sure that their members graduate in four years by holding study sessions for each other as well as a file for old tests for others to study from, not just for a particular line, but for members in the years to come. He also pointed out that they treat each other pretty well, and their rushes are actually nice because they have real food and drinks, as well as a program.
However, he said that they can be cliquish because they are so big, and do not get that close to every member of the chapter. He also said that they do not have strict guidelines over paraphernalia, since other people outside of the organization wears their clothes, as well as them wearing their letters in all different colors.
But they do take care of each other.
The biggest drawback about black sororities and fraternities, he says, is that it can be taken for granted, and go to someone's ego. Plus, he would like to see more people in an organization graduate in 4-5 years, instead of being a career college frat/sorority person.
However he does see the unity among members, but he said we can be standoffish.
What do you think?
