I would think that regardless that he has transitioned into the organization you wish to join, you'd be proud to be tagged in photos of him. I mean, it's not like folks don't know y'all are cool and have been for a while. Don't let your friend's being greek change you.



Can we be clear on something? Delta G.E.M.S., Sigma Beta, Kappa League, et. al., ARE NOT "Jr. Greek" organizations. They are enrichment/mentoring programs, grooming you to be better young adults and better people. Being a member of any of these groups does not necessarily mean that you will become a member of the sponsoring organization (although we would LOVE for you to) or any other greek organization. Yes, they've developed, and have been taught, steps, have calls, jackets, names and numbers. Recognize it for what it is, and don't make it something that it's not.

And this is part of the problem of why these young people think they are "junior greeks." The stepping is okay since everyone and their momma is stepping now but some of the other things just shouldn't be IMO.
