I went to Minnesota, my home town.

I can only speak for my Sorority. In my city, my Sorority's undergraduate chapter is very closely tied to its alumnae chapter. Such as we are mandated to meet together and hold a joint meeting twice a year.

Activities at the schools and time spending with other GLO's is the LEAST of my Sorority's worries.

When most of the "average" African American female students have major personal issues usually connected to family and financial aid, you would be lucky with all the other activities we are required to do to participate in such a mundane greek-week school function that fails to perpetuate uplifting ALL students.

Why bother?

I am sorry, but I am unable to relate to chug-a-lugging goldfish or stilleto races; when things in my community and my personal life are crazy...

And the same kinds of stereotypes happen when the police see us at our parties.

As a former graduate advisor, it has to be about giving back to the community 100% of the time because given the "society" we live in, we are LUCKY to be at these kinds of "institutions". Bottomline, it is about graduating.

Now, if you are discussing a HBCU, then that is a totally different discussion. Yet, there are quite a few faculty who are greek and demand a level of sophistication. But ONLY at a HBCU you will see 60+-membered chapters that are capable of doing the kind of greek week that is envisioned.

Wow, I didn't know it was that many of us. Kool!

When I was there last week I didn't see any snow. I wasn't mad though. I don't like the snow or cold weather.

I like skiing, sledding and pond hockey, but I'd rather not drive on ice, or have to brush it off my car. I prefer the sights and sounds of summer to the brutal Minnesota climate. I could care less about global warming right now. My gasoline isn't freezing.

No, I'm from Mn.

There's a Fargo Mn. too. Since you're from the Twin Cities I didn't expect you to know that.
