School Daze question.

On the Wikipedia page for Spike Lee's school daze, the Gamma Rays are called as a sorority. To me it fits more into the category of Sweetheart organization like Sigma Doves, Kappa Diamonds or Omega Pearls.

Opinions?

I agree with you, naraht. Then again it's wikipedia and they're not always the brightest bulbs in the chandelier.

True. But I do try to help them over there. (I'm primary editor right now for both the Alpha Phi Omega page and the Fraternities and Sororities in the Phillipines page.

As someone who is an avid Spike Lee fan- and viewer of School Daze on numerous occassions; I would have to say that yes they are a sweetheart organization. They made reference to the fact in the movie when they said they would have to help the brothers as they were crossing over with their initiation.

Well a lot of organizations today are considered sororities and fraternities that historically wouldnt be viewed as such. For example, I mostly only view IFC and NPC groups as actual fraternities and sororities. Let people think as they will i suppose.

I think that is fair because there are a lot of people in NPHC/MGLO don't view IFC and NPC groups as real sororities and fraternities.
