School Daze

[quteepie22]

EEEEE-YIP Sorhors!!! I was just on the website for the book African American Fraternities and Sororities; The legacy and the vision. And I was reading the abstract for the chapter about School Daze and how the movie depicted BGLO's. As I read it I wondered how much relavance or influence does the movie have on young non-greeks today. I don't remember if the movie was made in the late eighties or the early nineties, but I do know that I've seen the movie like a thousand times. Now, I'm 26 years old so of course I've seen it. And, I'm not going to lie, there are alot of stereotypes about BGLOs and even though I knew that it was just a movie, I knew people that were in college and they would tell me about the stereotypes which let me to believe that when I got to college the whole fraternity and Sorority experience was going to be like School Daze. Ofcourse, when I got to college and even before I became a Sigma woman, I found that it was nothing like School Daze. But how about the young people that are just starting college and may want to join a fraternity or Sorority. I wonder how many of them have seen the movie and how it may have effected their view of what BGLOs are all about. What do you all think?
