Hello...I am Greek-American and a member of a women's fraternity. Basically, the Founders of our organizations were all well-studied in ancient history and philosophy. When they founded our organizations, they based them on the ancient Greek ideals. It is done out of admiration and respect for our culture. And yes, the Greek letters are pronounced differently here, but that is because is how the alphabet is taught. I think many people here would have difficulty pronouncing many of the letters in the traditional Greek manner!

You're welcome. I have two cousins who came out to the U.S. for their post-graduate studies--one went back to Greece and the other stayed in New York City. Kala Xristouyena kai evtihismeno to Neo Etos.

How bout this for a silly stupid newbie question: Where can I find a comprehensive list of the top sororities listed by school? Since all schools may be asking a little much, let's start with UVa, W&L, U of Richmond, Gettysburg, William & Mary and Vanderbilt? Seriously, in general, it seems the oldest chapters at each individual school are the most respected and most selective.

If you have not visited AKA1908.COM and reviewed ALL the history and KNOW IT, then you will NEVA, EVA, EVA--NEVA, EVA, EVA make ANY 2008 intake before the Centennial Boule.

And don't think you will make it without choosing to attend ALL chapter functions from this point forward, MOST EXTRA-ESPECIALLY COMMUNITY SERVICE!!!

And it is a copout if you have failed to meet my sorors--you had BEDDA find out and find some interested sisters!

And it will COST for alumnae or graduate membership if approved.

And legitimacy of our intake process is verified by appropriate paperwork and several old women present--at least 80 years old... If you don't see them, then the process is most likely illegal... Use your best discretion and common sense.

It would behoove you to visit and announce yourself on the AKA AVE

Moreover, my Soror Babs, ain't taking punches... YOU WILL BE EXPELLED IF DISCOVERED THAT YOUR PROCESS WAS ILLEGAL!!!

Why try and join Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. by some unsanctioned process and think you have just as many rights as me? All because you thought that taking "wood" would make you legit?

Hayle, it's a privilege for your application for membership is being considered at this time! You had better realize your rank...

Moreover, if you are in my city and I haven't seen you at our last public function, I am voting against your approval... Pearls be dayumed. I am tired of paying assessments because women fail to understand the requirement and extent of commitment to my Sorority...

And I am almost a Silver Star...

Each paragraph becomes more and more ridiculous! It will never be this serious to a grounded being. Unreal, yet hilarious! Lol!

There is a "brothel" law in Cobb County, GA.

Frats are allowed to have houses but there is in writing that if there are more than 6 girls living in a house at one time it's considered a whore house, therefore no greek row at KSU
