Yesterday, I was talking to someone and they asked me why i wanted to pledge Omega. I started talking about how I really examined the organization and believed in everything that the organization stood for. I did not pledge because I wanted to party or hop or for popularity reasons. i pledged because i respected an Organization that tried to give young black males a political voice and a network so they could prosper. I saw a fraternity founded on unifying the black community and uplifting our people when it was unsafe for black people to walk down the street at night.
She then repeated the question like my answer was complete bullsh*t. It bothered me to point that i began to realize that she had a reason to not believe me. It is because a lot of greeks (my org and others) do not represent their organization as it was meant to by our founders. It seems the whole craze is with stepshows, partywalks, and parties and we have forgot about the important things. The sad thing is we are making greeks who want to join for the forementioned things. Which is one of problems with Intake. What good is it to make 80 people on a line when only 12-13 really want to work to make the organization better. I would would rather have 5 men loyal to one cause than 50 who barely even care. How can you call yourself someone's linesister or linebrother and you don't even know their name. BGLOs have become a joke compared to the 30's or 40's when we really worked to make a difference. There are so many t-shirt wearers out there that it is a shame. What happened to major political moves like the deltas marching for suffrage or frats refusing to do business with discriminatory businesses. People used to look at greeks as powerful, honorable, and unified. Now, people see frats as something to go see during blackgreek week or the homecoming stepshow. This goes hand and hand with continous downfall of the black race. We have to get back to the important stuff, things that greek life is really based on.
The Carter G. Woodson's, Martin Luther King's, W.E.B. Duobis's and Johnny Cochran's of our prospective organization's are **** and gone. Our Jesse Jackson's and company are getting old.. Who twenty years from now will be our ambassadors. The day we depend on rappers and athletes to identify our organizations is a sad day.
