Do You Consider Yourself Greek?

[Lynx 4_12_06]

I am actually a female in Kappa Kappa Psi because our school doesn't have TBS. But i went to a Psi probate at another school and I was thrown back by how much the school seems to care about Psi. We have Delta Omnicron and Sinfonia at our school as well and it's a fight to try to stay ahead because we are such a new chapter, but I will never allow anyone to try to tell us we are not Greek. Just because we are a SERVICE fraternity and not a SOCIAL fraternity doens't mean anything. We are and forever will be Greek. Amen

But two of my other friends who are in KKPsi both consider themselves Greek.. just in a different way.

I think that's what the OP was getting at -- how some KKPsi members/chapters try to draw a distinction between themselves and "the Greeks" while others do not at all:

I think it's just that they didn't want to be associated with what they perceived as "Greek life." Well, I don't really know why, but that's the only thing I can come up with.

What about your chapters?

It's an interesting campus-by-campus phenomenon, and I've seen it to some extent among all the "music Greeks."
