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?

Oh, and the proper term is Sorority and Fraternity, not "soror" and "frat"

Ms. Tamisha IGNORE all these rude a** black folk, my advice would be to go to the protocol section first and proceed from there. You will bump into rude mean spirited people like this in college so try and deal with it the best you can girl, Keep your head up!

no, I beg of you...do NOT IGNORE the things that I have stated to you. Believe it or not, the things that I stated was advice...and in a tone that was quite neutral (not with the intention of mean or spiteful). Back in the day when this board was more active with Greeks, some of the responses that you would have gotten would have been waaaaaaaaaay worse...TRUST ME.
Everything in life is a learning lesson. We all have to learn some how. I didn't know all the answers, and yes...i've have acted out of ignorance in the past. But I didn't get to where I am by ignoring advice and not learning from my mistakes. Be happy that one of yours occured on the internet, instead of in person...everyone hasn't been so lucky (myself included)
Like I stated before, google is a good start (or any search engine for that matter). You can enter "Black Sororities & Fraternities" and find a plethora of information. Check out the official website for each org. and you will begin to find some of the info that you are looking for. Hope that helps some...

Jamaican Shawty- Trust me Im far from a follower so I would never do it just because my friends doing it that aint me. I follow the beat to my own drum. And Im not embarrassed I just simply didnt know that much so I asked. I was told Charles Drew was a community college not that that would me it wouldnt count as HBCU.I didnt mean the light like let me join a sorority I meant like what are the all about. I mean theres so many different ones I just wondered why? Im not embarrassed for seeking knowledge.Especially, about my people at that.
