So true, neos spout what prophytes teach. But not only that, they follow the patterns that they see before they even pledge. We should be representing the best and the brightest, all that is right with African American youth, but in a lot of ways we sound like a bunch of thugs. How are we going to attract responsible and scholarly frats and sorors acting this way?
When I pledged, I chose AKA because of what I saw on campus at the time. In fairness, I was leaning that way because my best friend had pledged, but then I saw the Delta's and Zeta's and thought, let me see what they are about (we did not have Sigma Gamma Rho at the time). I ultimately chose AKA because I noticed that they were visible in every aspect of campus life. They were in Student Government, on the yearbook, the newspaper, some were cheerleaders, etc. They also had the highest GPA. I think I pledged for the right reason, and I chose my sorority for the right reason. Now if I were a thug, I would be looking for a thug sorority to live out my foolish fantasies. We have to be careful of the impression we are leaving with people. We are going to attract people that act like and/or admire us.
