I am curious... what kind of Greek organization are you in that you don't "looked it as "greek" and often forget to mention it"?

Less than 2 weeks ago, you were "flirting" with a sorority... certainly not a member.

Back when I was a freshman I was invited to join Phi Theta Kappa which is an honor society for community college students. I never looked at it as Greek nor took it seriously. I was involved in it as much as I could while working a part time job. I'm a lifetime member; got a member number and a pin but I hardly use it. I only mention it as much as I do an extra-curricular activity for applying for scholarships and writing essays about myself.

A community college honor society is nothing at all the same as the social Greek affiliation that everybody else is referring to... or that it sounded like you were inquiring about. They are two completely different things. This was really a misleading question.

AFAICT the OP is just looking for more fodder for her NPHC application.

Fail.

The last few comments were unnecessary. You asked, I answered. When I asked my question I was referring to the type of greek affiliations you all are a part of. It was never misleading. I would never include PTK on a resume unless I was seeking a government based job which in case would put me in the running for a higher pay grade.

Yes I am an aspirant but this post has nothing to do in my journey there. I wanted replies from people about their experiences.

Again thanks to those who have replied.

Then learn this for the Internet and real life:

Sometimes it is best to be a silent observer. This is GreekChat, not AspirantChat.

You are unnecessary here. What's your point?
