Um....
Fraternity, Sorority, and a Society.
They should add Joke to the list. That was mean but I'm sorry. I read some of the stuff on their website and I'm just confused...

A Fraternity, a Sorority and a Society were out one day playing a round of golf...

Whoa! LOL! Does that big "2008" in the right hand corner indicate the founding year? I can appreciate the work they're doing.

I thought the same thing until they bragged that they were here before being "multicultural" and stuff were cool.

See, what I was thinking was that they existed under another name in the 80s and got resurrected and renamed recently. And I dunno, but I have a problem with this.
Case in point, The Fraternal Order of Beaux, Inc., more commonly known as the Delta Beaux/Gents (for which this dude once tried to recruit me) seems to have evolved into a Greek-letter service fraternity called Gamma Beta Chi. And yes, change and evolution are good, but dudes.... Gamma Beta Chi was not founded in 1959.... to their credit, it was a good strategic move to distance themselves from a reputation of sidekickery and/or the unfortunate stereotype that most Beaux were gay.

Part of it felt like a pyramid scheme almost.

I'm humored at the evolution of the Beaux/Gents.
Despite its original purpose in the 1950s, depending on who you ask they escorted Sorors to class and some were the boyfriends of Sorors, there are Beaux/Gents and Deltas who took that organization to the extreme. That's neither here nor there. I guess it's good that they have their own since they were never officially affiliated with us, anyway.

I did feel like Pre-paid Legal started a frat when I read the site. Their interest meetings consist of a wing platter and a power point presentation about how "this is only as profitable as you make it."
