i second that Rhoyal. its not meant to be insulting at all to nonBGLO's. i know i was speaking from personal experiences, and i do have non-black friends who are in sororities and seemed to kinda let it go after a while. its just an observation. i am SURE there are plenty of women who continue with the work they started in college...

Also take into consideration that sororities were often founded also as a support system for women in universities that were almost entirely male. It's great that now women aren't the minority in university anymore and so our focus has broadened.

(I know the previous comment wasn't meant as a slam, but it did come off as one)

I can't count the number of times people have told me I look like a Kappa. Like only Kappas can be fresh than a mug. Funny though, once people have gotten to know me then they gave me Alpha stereotype.

I can be fresher than any Kappa I'll ever come across.

Alpha stereotype about looks? What the heck does an Alpha supposed to look like? Not that it matters, I'm just curious.

There are none that I know of. I guess we are "special" as to not have one.

Depending on where you are, old school Alphas are "supposed" to be fair skinned.

I never heard the light skinned stereotype, but to be honest I always heard the Gay stereotype, even back when I was in college. But considering how many Alphas I knew who weren't Gay it always confused me.
