That's it, play the race card.

You STARTED OFF posting in the AKA Forum. We KNOW you're black, but that's not why you're getting clowned. The black posters here (mostly) aren't touching your threads with a 10 foot pole. That should tell you something.

The NPHC forum mods shut you down completely IIR.

Sweetie, this has nothing to do with race or color. I knew what organization you were interested in before you posted it. My point is that you're not paying attention to what people are posting. You seem to be fishing for something that we're not going to give. There are lots of threads about ways not to haze--use the search function and you will see them. Heck, I don't even understand what you are getting at because I don't really understand your posts. We're not going to talk about membership selection here. The only thing I will say is that I've never asked anyone to "earn" membership in my GLO--before the bid is offered I hope they have shown that they are worthy for membership by having good grades, being involved in the community and on campus, and by being a kind, respectful young woman.

Again, if its answers you seek about AKA--post in that forum. They will tell you what they think.

I'm not playing the race card but every one knows it's harder for black people period we have to uplift each other not bring them down that's where hazing comes in do not do it if it is demeaning I'm not geting clowned I just don't forget where I come from in life I've seen so of the worst things Now it's my turn to make my community better,and strive for for the best in my life. My sister shot her self you know why because she thought her grades were not good enough for my parents and the outside world so don't you tell me that it is not made hard for us. I never said anything about member selection i just said since everyone is against it make some more suggestions I don't need to fish for information I will learn what I really need to know as time goes on

[jessiwannabe]

every one has their on opinion I Just expressed my feeling about hazing and that is what this fourm is (risk management HAZING etc.)

[LatinaAlumna]

^Yes, you expressed an opinion about hazing, but then you went off about how hard it is for people of color (which is a discussion for another forum), and then started discussing a family tragedy that you've experienced (which goes in yet another forum)--all while you have this underlying need to find out what's going to "happen" to you should you be invited to pursue membership in a particular organization.

You're asking questions about what people should have to do in order to earn membership. Every organization is DIFFERENT and most of the organizations are not going to reveal to you how they determine who becomes a member and who does not. Poking around like you are is probably just serving to annoy people who may be in a position to vote on you later (especially since you put up a bunch of identifying information).

Just focus on school, please, and the rest should follow.

[jessiwannabe]

okay that' fine but I was not poking around for information is was just trying to see what people think of hazing and who you could crush it. Yes I did talk about color because I believe people change organization organizations should not change people all you know about me is I live in Birmingham and I want to go to transfer to Birmingham Southern that's it. I also said WHAT DO YOU THINk please remember this is optional no one asked you to respond. I did touch on my sister's situation because shes ONE of the reasons I would want to join a organization but their are many more.

[jessiwannabe]

I love Birmingham and where I come from I'm not ashamed of that. You have to know where you come from in order to know where you are going

So here's what I'm getting: jessiwannabe wants to be a member of a particular org that shall remain unnamed. She's sooooo sure about this that she uses "we" when referencing BGLOs.

She'd also like to know how any org (but you know, maybe one particular one) selects their members if they don't haze. As she pursues her org. of choice, she wants to be hazed, but only in uplifting and meaningful ways because you shouldn't tear each other down. You know, as long as she's ok with it.

Also she needs to be referenced to the rules of "there," "their," and "they're."

Thanks for the recap! Now I don't have to read the beginning of this thread or any of the other 5 she has started!

Wannabe, no one here can help you. And no one wants to have the conversation you want to have. Please stop posting and posting and re-posting the same topic, it appears to have been fully covered. Try to be invited to join the org you want, find out FROM THEM when you ARE THERE what will be involved in the membership process, then either go through it, or don't. Best wishes!

You're welcome to both of you. She's just fishing for info, and IMO, protecting herself from harsh criticism by also having a sad depressing story. It's like the reality show character you want to make it because he lost a testicle to cancer. Few people are THAT comfortable talking about personal issues when new to a public area.

I'm making you a cyber t-shirt that says "Psych majors do it better."

Hey, don't go knocking CJ from Top Chef. I'm a Malarkey fan myself, but CJ's cool.

[cutie_cat_4ever]

I really think you're main focus should be on your grades first. Without good or decent grades, it won't get you too far. And hazing should be the LEAST of your worries...

..in before the lock?
