Growing up as a kid, all I knew was Alpha, because my dad is an Alpha. The whole time though up until college I had no clue what a fraternity was. My dad had Alpha paraphernalia all over the house. Paddles were/are hung in the basement, and I never paid it much if any attention at all. My brother is 3 years older than me, so I would often hear him come back from college talking about joining a fraternity, but I still never paid it much attention. When I got to college, is when I started to take interest in joining a fraternity. That's pretty much all everyone talked about was joining a fraternity or sorority. My brother(also a Nupe Kappa Khapter) and I were roomies in college so I would just listen to he and his friends talk about the different glos. Later on I started asking questions. I got the basic answers, that I wanted, now it was time for me to find the fraternity that interest me. To make a long story short, to me the Nupes just seemed to have it all together looking from the outside in. They were so professional, and they dressed and carried themselves in a professional way as well. I never saw a step show until I joined, but I was able to see above ground pledging my freshman year. And from what I saw, the Nupes pledges were flawless and perfect compared to the other glos. The Nupes ran the whole school and the President of the University was also a Nupe who pledged there in 1962. At that point, I knew that I was doing nothing but Kappa. I wouldn't be greek at all if I didn't get selected to be a Nupe.
Below is a picture of the scroller pack that I was able to see pledge above ground when I was a freshmen. The number kl2ub is my ADP and the kl7ub is my DP.

I don't even want to think of your Dad's reaction.
