ok remember ur dude that was on college hill that was in to frats!! How is that possible? Wouldn't all your brothers on both sides hate on the other? I mean that would be something I would like to do because I am in band and everything but I also have a life outside of band to and would love to do another.
Is it a good idea or bad???
I don't have a problem with it. I was in 2 frats (not part of D9) as an undergrad. It's acceptable at AAMU, and many people did what I did. I didn't run into any problems because I didn't get the two frats mixed up. Both orgs showed me love, so it was cool.
Alot of my LBs are in other frats. I say if u can do it, go ahead.
But, be forewarned: You must know when to differ when it's one frat's time and when it's another. If u can't do that, then you're a hinderance to both organizations.
I think that is the most important thing to be said... It's important to know when to rep one or the other... At my school there is this girl that is a member of Tau Beta Sigma (the female band sorority) and AKA. If we are attending a party she may wear her AKA jacket but if she starts "strolling " with her sisters from Tau Beta Sigma she flips her jacket inside out... until she has stopped strolling with them... I'm not to fond of this girl but she seems to have respect for her sisters in both of her sosorities.
One of my friends is in 4 frats.. KAPsi, KKPsi (music), APhiOmega(service), and Phi SIgma Pi (honor)... most of his LB are in like 2 or 3...
i'm sorry...but that is completely ridiculous. I know some frat who are in alot of orgs like that, and i just don't get the logic in it. Two i can understand, maybe 3...but FOUR? Come on now. How can u possibly fully dedicate yourself to all of these org and be a vital member when u are stretching yourself in so many directions. That even goes beyond greekdom, that applies to other organizations as well. I would rather be a driving foruce in two organizations than just a member in 5.
Also, folks need to remember why they are in college in the first place. While folks are jumpin from org to org, they better have the grades to back that ish up. Doesn't make since to pledge everything on the planet, and then have a lousy gpa to show for it. Folks get to college and get a lil too caught up in the social aspect
