Forever - well, as long as GC lasts.

As long as it hasn't been deleted by admin or the moderators, there have been posts dating back to Summer [I believe] 1999. Check out the archive link on the bottom right hand corner of the page if you don't believe me.

The OP has probably graduated HS long since, and possibly gone on to college and joined a college fraternity. You never know.

That's a damned shame, you mean that I wrote all of that for nothing? That dude is probably a member of the most famous Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated and I just don't know it.

I uld greatly appreciate it if you could answer the questions and send me your reply to Kthota@hotmail.com

Thanks

I had some advice, but this is from 7 years ago. If dude's still in HS there is a problem.

First, you need to know it would not be a sorority/fraternity. It would be an extracarricular group/org/activity at the school that would have stipulations, i.e., grades!

I would suggest getting people together who may be interested (on your own time) then proposing the idea to the administration along with the name of all the interested people. I would also suggest running the idea across a few teachers who may consider the idea of being a sponsor for the group.

Most high schools here have organization like this; mademoiselles, gents, ladies of distinction. I even sponsor a group of 5th & 6th grade girls who compete in different step competitions, have sleepovers, attend functions like college stepshows and football games, etc.

Its a good idea if you have purpose behind it.

You must be really unpopular if you want to start a fraternity. Join the athletics program if you want to be popular. it's four years, wait until college. Make the grades and get into a good school with a large greek population!

We had hs fraternities and sororities, but my class killed the sororities and the fraternities were long gone. There weren't enough rushees to have rush and they were officially disbanded that year. Mostly people joined them for the leadouts and the status and we had a ball replace the leadouts. There were a bad idea...made it easier to have tight knit cliques and had major alcohol problems.

This ORIGINAL POST QUESTION was dated back in 99. It is ashame the responses that were given. All the negative responses to an innocent question. All the innocent answers given a negative response. WOW! And this is who High School students look up too. Obviously, these kids want to follow in the footsteps of those college frats and sororities. That is why so many of them create these types of organization in High School. Some of these kids don't even have much to look forward to until something like this is created. So many students go on to college, sad to say, to experince that kind of thing. Some of them are not allowed to. Some of them cannot afford to. SO to have it in high school gives them a great appreciation for the history of Greek Organization. Do you realize without a lot of these high school step teams, some students and their parents do not even know about college Greek Organizations. Or they know about them and do not know the importance of them. I was shocked to see so many African American Greeks respond so negatively. Before your Greek Fathers and Mothers stood for this, African Americans had no voice. Do you realize that most of your freedom fighters were Greek? Today that is knowledge that those in high school need to know. It gets them ready for college. It gives them a sence of pride to be apart of changing history. I live in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Im originally from Houston. I stepped in high school. It was a great experience. I could not go on to college to do so as I planned because I became very very ill. My high school sorority was the closest I got to being apart of that freedom. I now am the sponsor for The Ruidoso Warrior Steppers. I have a Delta Sigma Theta Sponsor also. These kids have learned about so many of you and some of them have their favorites. I never fail to mention history. This town is so happy for this program. They have never been happier. What's interesting about my kids is that they stand for something. They stand for change and togetherness. I have only 3 blacks on the team. I have a mixture of Native Americans, Indian, Mexicans, and whites. And they all look up to you College Greeks. My 2 that are graduating have now started to look for Colleges with Greek Oganization so they can continue standing for what they believe in. I would hate for them to look at the responses for a simple question posted here. I welcome all responses, even the negative ones. Change has come. Welcome it! For without change, most of our special activites, college, high schools, middle school and whatever, would seize to exist...... Sorry if some words have been mispelled.

QFP

So...you register today to try to "school" people on the internet?

Folks weren't responding harshly to the 1999 post -- maybe you should go back and read before you type

And high school kids shouldn't be looking up to usernames, anyway. If they want to learn about GLOs, they can do that without joining high school "fraternities and sororities."

[DrPhil]

That was the dumbest post in a minute.

No, most of the freedom fighters were NOT in GLOs/BGLOs.
