Greek life has definately changed significantly. In earlier years, I think many of members became members for a more defined cause. They were all seeking to have a stronger voice in society issues. Today, I think many of the members just want to name drop or to "belong". The other day, my boyfriend's sister told me she wanted to pledge Delta. I figured she wanted to go that route, but was not sure. I asked her why did she want to be a Delta. She couldn't give me a good reason other than the Deltas are so cool at FAMU. I then asked her which Founder has inspired her the most. She did not know ONE Founder. That concerns me. Why do you want to belong to something you know nothing about. Would you apply for a job without knowing anything about that company? If you search the net today, all you see are photos of greeks sporting their letters. Who is in the community?
As far as where will Black Greek Orgs be in ten years, I'm positive we will be in a better. I pray we go back to our Founders drive to make the world adaptable to African American's concerns and progress. We definately need more unity, especially in the sororities. We are the faces of the future. You now have more women in power. If we stand together as black women, I think we can soundoff.
