Ok I have come to realize that us greeks tend to get stressed out over some of the things that prospects may do or say…simply because they do not know proper protocol. So this thread is for all the greeks to list things that ALL ASPERANTS SHOULD KNOW in terms of proper behavior. (Lets try to keep it simple)
I will begin:
1) Do not go to an interest meeting for more than one org…do your research until you know which one is best for you.
2) If you only want to be greek for the following reasons…then this isn’t for you:
A.Want to join because you like to step
B.Want to get more girls/guys
C.Want to become popular/accepted
3) Do not wear and org’s colors to an interest meeting
4) Do not throw up greek hand signs or do the calls
5) Do not go around telling people what org you are a prospect of.
6) Stay away from the words “ I’m gonna be a ________” or “I’m a future________”
7) Do not cut through party walks or brake lines.
'Tis all for now…
So u say but nationals is like the CIA they see all and kno all...anwyayz writing is the best form of evidence lol and ya pic is all ova it...betta watch out...****' is comin'! :lol:
F*ck that....
The Good Sh*t.......
If someone wants you to call them at a certain time, CALL THEM....
If someone wants you to be somewhere at a certain time, BE THERE...
If someone wants you to bring something to them, YOU BETTER UTILIZE YOUR RESOURCES AND MAKE IT HAPPEN...
If someone wants you to meet up with some other unfortunates at a given place and time, BE THERE WITH A NOTEBOOK AND SOME BRIGHT IDEAS
If someone tells you that you need to know a block of information by a certain time, KNOW THE INFO...(and I dont mean sitting there reading it while you're on the phone...we know all the tricks)
If someone tells you that you need to wear a certain outfit at a certain time of the day late night YOU BETTA HAVE IT ON AND BE READY TO ROCK...
When someone gives you the route to either choose blood sweat and tears or the pen and a holla...

1. Ask questions but not too many questions. Also know the appropriate time and questions to ask. A serious aspirant knows the difference between a "silly" question and a serious question...I think Appropriate question:What are some of the projects you all are working on this semester? <---if someone gives you flack for asking something as simple as that(considering you are serious about pursuing the org) then just shrug it off and move on. I know when I was in undergrad we always had display boards with facts about our chapter/sorority as a whole. We also handed out pamphlets of our projects for the semester.
Inappropriate question:How much does it cost? <---got a lot of that while in undergrad. You don't need to know any of that until you get an acceptance letter. Sometimes they'll give you a good estimate at the Smoker (Rush)
2. A good way to get to know other Greeks is by becoming involved with other orgs on your campus. However, remember the appropriate time to ask them questions :razz:
3.When in doubt, don't ask. Even if you feel like it's a legitimate question. Not everyone will give the response you seek and not all of them will do it nicely :-( but that's life. And also for the ones who are shy/too nervous to ask, research it on your own. Chances are, you'll find what you're looking for...that is, if it's meant to be found *wink*
4. MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN. When you see a member of the org of your interest, smile and SPEAK. I don't care what kind of 'tude you may think they have or how they carry themselves. When I was an aspirant, I thought the girl who'd later become my prophyte, was the evilest lookin chic on campus. But promise everytime I saw her I said "hey". THAT SIMPLE. Attend the events sponsored by the org. There are simple ways to make your interest known without blurting it out to everyone
5.Don't assume you know everything. Marinate on that one as it pertains to you.
Some of you have PM'ed me with legit questions. Feel free to do so if you are unclear about anything.
Good thread, Soror. Should've been a sticky
That's some good info right there. If i was a prospect, i would definately write that down *message!*
In addition...
Respect goes a loooong way. That AKA that u cuss out, just might know that Delta who's **** u are kissing. It isn't a matter of what org. u want to be in. If u can't work with other greeks, how are u supposed to be an asset to the org u are pursuing?
Be mindful of your actions at ALL times. That goes for the net & off. U never know who is watching u. It's a small world & the things that u say/do just might come back to haunt u later.
Don't Be Lazy. I find this alot on the net than actually in person. Maybe becuz folks have their guard down and are a lil more bold behind the screen. But don't ask a question which u can easily look up for yourself. It shows your lack of concern and desire to actually work for sumthin instead of havin it handed to u.
k. I'll probably have more a lil later

True all that right there. People have the misconception that we're supposed to be nasty to one another, they get this idea that in order for them to "fit the mold of XYZ" they have to be salty towards members of ABC. Lots of people have ruined it for themselves this way. I was cool with someone in every org (still am) and all of my closest friends are Deltas. I tell ya if people only knew the real deal And co sign on being mindful of your actions. Once you make your interest known, you are being watched. Sometimes we know of your interest before you make it readily known to us, and it's not always the member of your org of interest that's watching you *wink*
