^^^U wrong for that one
Hunny pie, the information that you're looking for can be found by using just about any search engine available on the net. Simply go there and enter the sorority name of your choice. If you're interested in one of the Divine 9, which i'm assuming u are...then there are 4 that u might want to get information for...
Alpha Kappa Alpha
Delta Sigma Theta
Zeta Phi Beta
Sigma Gamma Rho
Go to these sites check out their principles and programs. Try to go beyond the sites & look up a lil extra history. Get the book Black Greek 101 (even tho some info in there is a lil shaky). Check out the members on your campus and what they are doing in the community, what their personalities are like, and if u can see yourself clicking with them. Hun, the info that u need cannot be found on this site.
Mark my words.
Your inbox activity will TRIPLE, as a result of that post.
I'm in the same shoes as you KrystleReppin, I have no idea what a sorority is, what it's for or what they do. But I'm going to join one anyway and hopefully I'll find out then. The reason why the people that posted above me didn't tell you anything is because all sororties have some type of thing where they have to keep it secret, but that's just what I've been hearing, I have no idea if it's true.
Here's my question 4 u... why in GOD'S precious name do you want to join a sorority and you dont even know what we do?!!! some things are just not ment to be spoken...
and to my sands kenya (where's my halo)... you handled it well... would i have given so much info...maybe not. but i admire that you did that.. not every 1 is as nice as ur...its a gift :grin:

I have that book, too.
To whoever is interested, I would recommend a book that came out in February, and it's called African American Fraternities and Sororities, edited by Tamara L. Brown, Gregory S. Parks, and Clarenda M. Phillips. In my opinion, it's a really good book, and it goes into thorough detail about the historical context of Black Greek-Letter Organizations (BGLOs), the culture of BGLOs, contemporary issues confronting BGLOs, and things of that nature. It should be in such bookstores as Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Borders, etc. If it's not in stock, then just go to the customer service desk to order it, and they should have a copy within a week or something like that. So, go check it out whenever you can.
Good luck on your research!
Being that I am not Greek, I can't say much. I will say that alot of the things that you listed as "benefits" (for a lack of a better word) of being in a sorority can be done or obtained without being in a sorority. My friend had a scholarship from Delta Sigma Theta when she entered college and she is part of Zeta Phi Beta now. Just because you get a scholarship from a Greek organization doesn't necessarily mean you have to be or will be part of said organization. I will also say that there is a false sense of what goes on in each organization. There is alot more to these people and organizations than what you hear and see. If you don't know what the organization is for do research, because each stands on different principles, but if you don't know why you would join an organiztion your best bet would be to hold off until you learn more about yourself and the organization or not consider it at all. I said a bunch, but that is about all I can say from the outside.

lol...Kenya you cool as fukk... I liked how u were helpful to the girl and most of all RESPECTFUL...Its good to see that you didnt become Greek and lost sight of where you were as an apirant not too long ago tryin to learn all you can. I guess its just nice to see a Greek help others as they hadat one time been helped and guided.
@Bisonette... well.. i hope you get to come to Howard so that you can get help figuring out e'rythang you want to know... I won't lie to you.. it's a ruff world here...
but I'mma have to side w/ T.A... why would you want to be a part of something you know NOTHING about? For all you know they could require a rib from prospective members, or the massacre of small children (lol.. the sarcasm is to prove a point: that being that you know virtually NOTHING about these organizations)
Please do some research... and make sure you do it quick, some questions just won't get answered when you get to Howard...and TRUST me.. not everyone is as nice and Down2Earth as Kenya.. (but we don't know how much longer that will last (j/k).. so, PM me if you are still confused...
Eh hem... 8-)
For Future Reference....
***NOTE***: To all of those interested in becoming a member of a Greek organization (or any organization for that matter) I have three easy steps for you.
1. Go to you browser bar and type in www.yahoo.com or www.google.com (whichever is preference)
2. Type in the name of the organzation that you are interested in or better yet, just type in "Sororities", "Fraternities", or "Greek Organizations".
3. Hit ENTER
Its that simple...Happy Hunting...
