I commend the Deltas, Omegas, and other NPHCers who have kept these kids' groups in their place as scholarship recipients and/or mentees who are NOT "future XYZs."

Oh god. Why won't tripod just go burn with geocities and AOL pages?

ETA: http://omegaprepmobile.tripod.com/id1.html LOL. This even references a boy leaving Kappa League to help found Omega Prep with other boys and under the direction of some Omegas. LOL.

Yeah I'm sure they do, but I didn't want to get into it so I just kept it simple.

At a lot of high schools, (mine was one) it was against the rules to start a fraternity or sorority. At many schools where they do exist, they are underground orgnaizations.

Well silverturtle I live in TN. And there are alot of them so many that all of the names start to sound alike. There are a few who take part in community service and just about all of them have step teams. Some have good names for what they have done and some are just groups that want to look good together.

I personally didn't have sororities or fraternities at my high school but some people I knew from Highland Park HS had something like that. Was anyone here in a high school sorority? I find that very strange...

We never had sororities in our hs, but then again, I went to an all girl's hs, so I guess we were just one big happy sorority

dzsaigirl-did you go to Highland Park? I went to Ursuline

[dzsaigirl]

No, I did not go to HP, but I went to SMU my first year and a half of college so I knew people from there, plus my mom grew up there. Two of my friends at SMU went to Ursuline but unless you graduated in 97 or 98 or earlier, you probably don't know them. This is year 6 for me in college I did the old 180 on my major...

I was involved in a high school sorority called ADK but dropped out b/c I thought it was pointless. There was alot of hazing and the whole thing wasdumb b/c as many of us know alot of high school girls like to backstab and talk talk talk so your "sisters" whom you thought were your friends really werent.

A lot of the high school fraternities, from what I have seen are evolutions of the officially sanctioned high school mentoring programs of black fraternities and sororities. ..

Kappa League. . .Delteens. . .AKAlades, etc, etc. . .

Many of them, again in my opinion, became an excuse to step and haze each other. However, those programs that are overseen by the frats and sororities are mentoring programs and service organizations. The independent frats and sororities are more dangerous because they are often underground and unsupervised.

One more thing, I am in favor of clubs, but not fraternities in high schools. . .one major reason, which is bourgie, but I must say it.. . frats are for people in college. I feel like I worked heard to get into college and be eligible to pledge.

I mean, for black greeks at least, if you think back to December 4, 1906, those men were trying to find a safe haven of sorts for each other. What on earth could a young person in high school need with a frat or sorority that they can't do through the Key Club and a step team?

If this sounds mean spirited or nasty in any way, I honestly do not mean for it to sound that way. It is late, I am tired, and I am STILL working on my personal statement.

Do only BGLO's have high school sorority-type organizations? KD doesn't....I don't know if any other of the "white" GLOs do....

Or do some high schools have sorority things that are independent of National college GLOs?

My high school never had any of these things.

My best friend and sister was a part of a little sister group of DST. She *loved* it and was kinda disappointed that she didn't end up choosing a school that had a chapter.
