I decided to ask because I've come across alot of greeks who "frown" on them. The ones here act as if they are really going through the pledging process. I wanted to ask the real greeks there views on it. I've come across organizations sponsered by real greeks who even throw up that greek sign and of course i know thats wrong. Do you think thats why alot of greeks dislike them? Are you down for them or are u against them or were u even in one?
Um, somewhat accurate Thunderstruck.
But um, I disagree with them. We should leave some things for college. If you choose not to go to college, you can pursue Masonry.
Well, I'm not ashamed to admit I was in a HS Sorority, Ladies of Gamma, GQA Inc. We were chartered, had a constitution, bylaws, etc. Now that I'm in DST, I can honestly say that things are both similar and different. I was in love and very active in that organization, which ultimately helped me in A LOT of ways. GQA has kind of died out but they are still around (My little sister is one). It was definately an experiance and I do remember getting clowned once at TSU by a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. I don't see anything wrong with them as long as you don't rep it after HS graduation, lol. I think there was already a thread about this though.

I didnt see it
I was an archonette up to my junior year and it was cool. we even have our own little conferences but like for some reason the archonettes in the south were throwing up like different signs than the ones up north. One girl that was an arkee with me even told me that some up in like washinton through up the actual ZPB sign. Our advisor would have murked us

Good afternoon. I am a newbie to this message board, but I see a lot of familiar faces here. Quick question...Can you explain further the meaning of your statement that I quoted above?
I think you are inferring that I believe that Masonry is an inferior organization.
You couldn't be further from the truth. I only made that statement to recognize that college enrollment or graduation is not a requirement to join the Masons. If a person wishes to develop a fraternal bond, and did not attend college, then that is a viable option. Other viable options, are firefighting, the police force, or the military.

That's exactly what happened to us...one of my Archonette advisor's who was over our step team told us that it was ok to do it...We got our **** busted and suspended for like 2 weeks from all activities. When I came to college...being an Arkee did help me gain some respect as far as the Sigma's and Zeta's went but at the same time...it made it harder amongst my circle of friends...because they saw me hanging around them as me suckin up for pledge time...so in a way it has its advantages but soon as you hit college...you should hang the shirts, paraphenalia up and start from scratch!
