Is Mal in a sorority? I have yet to see (read) any mention of an affiliation for her.

All I can say is, 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-9.......06!!!!!!!! That is another reminder why I'm proud to be an Alpha.

On a related note, one of my frat is running for vice president at my school (University of Minnesota). If he wins, I'll break out a broom.

I was just down on campus last night for an initiation & saw all the Brown/Jenkins posters littered throughout the Sigma Kappa house as well as Sorority circle!

I'm glad to hear that they won!

Even though the Alpha's are just a corporation, don't your greeks normally win the Student Government elections? As far as I can remember a greek has always won president, and at least two more positions. The only people who have a shot at winning the elections this year, are greeks. Also, it's a fraternity, not a frat.

edit: Also, if you delete this post because i said the Alpha's are just a corporation I will crap myself, because then the mods are essentially anti-truth. Thank you.

awesome!?!

is it a general trend for Alphas to be active on campus... especially in SG?

I was heavily involved in student government and noticed this trend on some campuses... to the point where many BGLOs pretty much "ran" the Black/African American population and represented that constituency. In other words, to win their vote... work with the greeks.
