I just think that this site has made it that much harder for prospects to remain discrete when people are putting their names out there.

But then this site makes me want to question how "discrete" some prospects are being, if people are able to pick them out. On the other hand, you can't miss a huge group of people lined up 30 minutes early for an event hosted by XYZ sorority/fraternity...

Psst.... it's "discreet" in this case.

There IS NO DISCRETION at Howard University, are you kidding me?

The P-Girls and the P-Boys are the non-Greeks who:

Run or participate in Brother to Brother (Alphas) and Sister to Sister (Deltas)

Join Circle K (AKAs) or NCNW (Deltas) or any of the other "feeder" organizations.

Raising money for Africare (AKA)

Pledged Pike (Kappa)

The list goes on and on.

And they have to line up that early because the Greeks will shut the doors if you arrive late.

It's a mess. The campus social life rises and sets on greek life in some way, either the pursuit of it or the conscious avoidance of it.

I saw this listing on Craigslist http://pullman.craigslist.org/com/915585587.html not even in Rants & Raves, but int he general section (wtf?). With the grammar and lack of punctuation, as well as poor sentence structure leading to incomplete sentences, this person should be more worried about "pledging the library" (TM SenusretI 2007).

True true...

Be that as it may, I still don't think that jealous individuals should make it their business to post the names of those interested and why said individuals should or shouldn't be a member of XYZ. If you know who a couple of prospects are, then cool you know who's interested.

Why is it jealousy? It's more likely people who just mock the entire system.

If you take a look at some of the posts you'd pick up on the jealousy. But now that I think on it, a good majority of the posts are a bit sarcastic.

If I'm lyin, I'm flyin. (We've talked about this in one of the several Pike at Howard threads. I didn't believe it for a long time until I saw it with my own eyes)

Shameful... but, then again, do I recall correctly from one of those Pike at Howard threads that such a phenomenon was already predicted?

Yes, I believe so, much to the chagrin of the NIC members (well, notwithstanding that some fraternities are jointly in NIC and NPHC, but you get my meaning).

I know I'm way behind but what happened with the Pike chapter?

I'm not sure. I went MIA for a while myself. I just went to the Pike website and they don't seem to have any chapters listed in DC (they have a clickable map). But then, it wouldn't make sense to me that they didn't have a DC alumni association, so maybe it's a problem with the map?

I'm sure someone else will chime in.
