I don't see a list.

So, their Sigma Gamma Rho isn't the NPHC Sigma Gamma Rho?

Evidently not. Odd how they've changed the definition of "collegian."

I can get they're not fraternities and sororities as traditionally understood, but why aren't they "'real' orgs"? They sound pretty real to me.

I wonder if they were originally something like "collegian societies," which over time got shortened simply to "collegians."

1. You HAVE to join one.
2. It sounds like you can pick whichever one you want to join (i.e. no selective membership) and it doesn't sound like they have anything resembling pledging.

Right, which means they're not like traditional—or "real," if you like—fraternities or sororities.

And as far as not having anything resembling pledging, the same could currently be said of SAE and of Balanced Man chapters of SigEp.

But the comment I was responding to was that they are not "'real' orgs." They do appear to be organizations, so unless they are fictional or figments of someone's imagination, they seem to be "'real' orgs."
