All Orgs That were founded before 1930/Why I pledged stories

[DSTdimepiece]

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was founded on January 13, 1913 on the campus of Howard University by 22 courageous, determined and insightful women.

I came to college with a very limited knowledge of greek life. No one in my immediate family was greek (this has since changed but I digress). I went to school to study, graduate and kick it in the process. As I got involved in campus activities, I kept seeing the same few women. I decided to research and see what these women were about. Upon reading all that I could, I saw what these women were about and it was everything that I believed in and tried my best to do.

Finally, my chance came in 2001 to become what I had admired over these years. I love my D, my S and my T!!!

Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity, Inc., was founded November 27, 1919 on the campus of Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University) in Stillwater, Oklahoma, by ten dedicated and inspired college bandsmen.

Kappa Kappa Psi is a fraternal organization that promotes the advancement of college and university bands through dedicated service and support to bands; comprehensive education; leadership opportunities; and recognition; for the benefit of its members and society.

When I started college, I had a limited knowledge of Greek life. I had a few relatives who were in D9 / NPHC orgs, but no one in my immediate family. I attended a HBCU so the majority of the active Greeks on campus were D9. I considered one of the D9 fraternities briefly but I didn't find one at that time that I throught I would be a good fit for (long, boring story).

A major part of my college life (apart from classes) revolved around band and band-related activities and that's when I heard about Kappa Kappa Psi. We didn't have a chapter on campus at the time, but I met some members of Psi on band trips and football games and was impressed at the brotherhood and camaraderie exhibited between them and their sister sorority (Tau Beta Sigma). So when the opportunity presented itself to take part in chartering a chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi on my campus and become a part of history, there was no question which way I was going to go. I have never looked back, and have never regretted that decision, and have been especially proud of seeing the bruhs/lines who have crossed through my chapter since that memorable day in 1988...
