I am aware that you have to apply for the organization you wish to join, right?
Ok and I'm sure "many apply but only few are chosen" (I've heard that quote so many times, not in those exact words though).....
Sooo with that particular statement being made ("only few are chosen"), how can one wanting to join/pledge BETTER AND INCREASE their chances of being CHOSEN?
I've heard some say be active in school activities, attend the organization's events, make yourself known (positive) around campus, get to know others who have already pledged and are already a member of the organization, etc..,
but at the same time they also make it informative to keep your decision discreet...HOW can you do that when you are attending their events, etc..,?
Disregarding the previous threads I have made blurting out and making it known that I wanna be this and that, I went back and did MORE MAJOR research on other Fraternities before I came to a final decision of the Fraternity I was SERIOUSLY interested in....I now think I have made my final decision on what I want to pledge.... AND I WILL NOT SAY UNTIL I HAVE OFFICIALLY PLEDGED/IF I AM CHOSEN!!!!!
Soooo WITHOUT further a due or all the negativity and sarcasm, Could YOU (Those who have already pledged or those who have not pledged, but can still provide some relevant information) give some advice/words of wisdom on how one can better their chances of being chosen in the organization they are interested in?
I would appreciate an answer to all of my questions non-related to the topic also
Thanks!
*P.S- I DO HAVE my priorities straight as far as trying to get my education, Bachelors & Masters Degree, etc..,. I remember in one of my other topics someone mentioned how I shouldnt FOCUS on this so much and worry about my education first....I AM! Pledging is also a goal I want to accomplish throughout my college life (Something in life I've always wanted to experience and accomplish), which makes it a main focus for me right along with getting an education.....
That's because in a lot of the white frats and sorors the involvement ends after college.
True.
I've even met a few white folks who have said "I was in a sorority/fraternity."
I just look at them with blank face
I thought once you join, you are a member for life. Oh well, different strokes for different folks I guess....

Not necessarily. Tri Delta and Tau Epsilon wouldn't be where they were if the involvement in them ended after college.
It's not something of a big deal here in the North because most of the sororities and fraternities up here are really seen as a sure-fire way to (1) lose your individuality and (2) something that only the rich and wealthy participate in.
Plus, since people don't join as much, things such as hazing and discrimination tend to run rampant because it's under the radar.
Besides, a lot of what you can do in the sororities/fraternities up here are things you can do outside of it. I would think the thing stands as the same down South but I'm not even remotely sure of that.
Do you really have to kiss someones **** if you are interested in their sorority?
Because I'm not with that ****...
Yeah, it takes some amount of brown nosing. Yet, that is with most things including jobs. How do you think most people get promoted, besides excellent work? They have done some level of kissing someone's behind.

None amount for me. My nose is brown but only literally.
So, you're a Rattler girl? From Broward Co???
You don't HAVE to do anything you don't want to do... BUT some play the game like that... and often times they win when playing it that way...
I know how it's done at FAMU because I went to FAMU... and trust me... things have NOT changed much since I left. If you have specific questions, hit me on the side Ms. Rattler.
