God bless the children. As long as you know there isn't really a such thing as a "junior Alpha" or a "future Alpha."

Mentoring is excellent and I'm happy another child was uplifted and motivated to become better.
I blame the Alphas for trying to make this more than what it should be. Junior2007 and his fellow Juniors are smarter than these particular Alphas seem to be regarding this.

Thank you, DSTCHAOS. We were told upfront that we were not a fraternity, or a junior fraternity for that matter. I understand that there are some junior mentor organizations that have gone out of their mind, but we honestly make it very apparent to black Greeks that we are a step team and mentor program, not a fraternity. It's just disresectful to claim that you are something that you are not, especially when there are hundreds of thousands of Greek men and women who have worked long and hard to acquire the letters they hold dear. I'd just prefer for someone to approach me and sincerely ask me about it rather than step into my face with all intent on beating me or trying to rip off my jacket when nothing A Phi A is on it (THAT I MADE SURE OF!)

Awww...no one should be jumping bad and beating up on children.
Tell them that you are a mentee (who is open to all positive role models regardless of the organization) and to holla at the Alphas who advise your group if they have a question.

Thank you. I just find it a little disheartening that I can't even be proud of what I am in. What is your opinion on the whole junior mentor groups having the image of the mentoring fraternity/sorority... Because the Alphas from Pi chapter, Delta Xi, and Delta Alpha Lambda chapter embrace us.. while other chapters like Epsilon Theta look at us with disgust...
