Dual Memberships

[Empress0105]

At Howard it is not uncommon fo rpeople to belong to two or three Greek lettered organizations........they are just all different TYPES of organizations...I am in Tau Beta Sigma (a recognition org) and Gamma Sigma Sigma (a non-social service org)....I have sisters that are TBS/Delta Sigma Pi/AKA, TBS/SAI/AKA, GSS/Phi Sigma Pi/ZPhiB.....and guys who are in more than one frat....ie, the president of Howard is in Alpha Phi Omega and Omegsa Psi Phi.....

it is a very normal part of HU culture to join two or three student orgs....

I didn't know that. That's so interesting to me. Perhaps it has to do with your university's rich NPHC history. I've never heard of it the way you put it: a very normal part of the student culture to belong to 2 or 3 orgs . . . . like it's just expected of each student and something so natural.

Thank you OTW! That's exactly what I meant! With such a rich history, it should not be a surprise that HU naturally expects its students to be leaders in all that they do - why not in the greek culture too?
