Im from Cali where there are no HBCUs. So, I dont really know all that much about Sorors and Frats. However, at least 5 of my friends including me will be attending college in the fall and we want to know whats the deal.Some of them are thinking about pledging.I mean from TV I get mixed messages. Like I see the sisterhood and brotherhood as a positive for blacks and it can bring us closer. Then we I be seeing all the hazing and disrespecting and what not I dont know what to think. So, basically what are the good Soror and Frats groups out there and what they stand for? Will my college life be better if I try to join sorority?Should I date frat? Help me because Im in the dark. Bring me to the light.
P.S. Not sure if it makes a difference but my friends are going to Clark and Im going to Southern University Baton Rouge so are the sororities any different because they're different schools or what?
Ya'll still on this post? I posted this so long ago. Im not even concerned with this stuff anymore. I see the Greek Organizations as blessings for our people but not all of our people only select few. It's nothing to argue about.
Thanks for the all the advice ladies good, bad or indifferent. Be blessed.
P.S. there is Charles Drew University in California and it is an HBCU
Actually there arent HBCU's out here in L.A Charles Drew is considered a black school but the first 2 years you would be taking classes at UCLA which is a majority white school. Also Charles Drew is a medical/science University so if she wanted to major in anything else it still wouldnt have been an option. She knew what she was talking about when she said there werent any HBCU's in Cali. =o)
