Congrats to ALL of you who crossed over into Greek Land Fall Semester. I have received emails from followers who are now my sorors, Zetas, AKAs, Iotas, Kappas, and Alphas.
It's 2014, which means a HUGE celebration for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. As I stated in my first post "Journey to Greekland" I have a ton of relatives in the "Blue and White" family. I am truly excited for them, and I can't wait to see my Facebook "blow up" with a ton of posts from my family and friends of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. It just seems like on yesterday when my sorors and I were blowing up everyone's newsfeed on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with posts about us turning 100.
I have received a ton of requests from neos if I can create a few posts about the "Life of Being a Neo" If you want to see more posts about this,,,, please replied to this post. Also, let me know what you would like to know.
I would love for you to make such a post. I'm not a neo, hopefully I will be one soon. But anything you would like to share would be awesome. I enjoy reading your posts and have read and reread the entire blog. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI second that!
DeleteI think it would be an excellence idea to post more about the life of a neo. Honestly I just Googled "Adjusting to Greek Life" and clearly nothing came up! So please feel free to blog away I would like to hear your opinion!
ReplyDeleteHow serendipitous - I was just wondering - what happens when you cross? The first year - any insight would be greatly appreciated! Especially anything about members you may have crossed with who were NOT African American.
ReplyDeleteI would love some insight on what life is like after you cross. what are some experiences you've had with the treatment from non-Greek peers ( friends and non friends)? What are some typical organizational things that are required of a neo in the first year? How is it adjusting to greek life? Ya know, all the good stuff. lol also, is it tacky to give family members (more so parents) a list of gifts (almost like a small Christmas list) that you would like as crossing over gifts? That last question was so irrelevant but im just curious,
ReplyDeleteIt would interesting to see a post from the neo's perspective. To see what are some misconceptions that they would want to clear up? Maybe feature personal testimonies from them. What not to do when you are wearing the letters of your organization?
ReplyDeleteHello. I first want to commend you for your blog. I really appreciate it all of your work and insight on bglo . My question is how do you approach someone in a bglo , if you are in a wglo. Being at an hbcu, a lot of bglo look at it as seeing if this bglo was for you, you would have pledged it and only it. I want to know how to break down the barrier to show that I would be an asset to there sorority as well as maintaining relationship with my wglo sisters. (Particularly members of DST)
ReplyDelete2nd: What is a triad school?
I thought if you were already a part of a Greek letter organization, you're unable to join one of the NPHC (with the exception of academic and music fraternities).
DeleteA Do's and Dont's when you're interested in pledging would be great. I just want clarification as to what's ok and what's not ok to do when hoping to catch a NPHC orgs eye
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a post about meeting graduate members while you are pursuing your masters on a campus and/ or city where you don't really know anyone. Should you attend the undergrad events in hopes of meeting some of the graduate advisors or should you confide in an undergraduate member and tell them and ask about meeting grad advisors one on one. I would love to get some advice since the chance of being a part on an undergrad chapter is no longer an option for me.
ReplyDeleteI am a Neo of a graduate chapter. I like to see a post on the differences between being a collegiate Neo and and a alumnae Neo. Another interesting topic would be how an excited alumnae (or collegiate) Neo has to find balance with their lives and wanting to participate in EVERYTHING your organization? You know, avoiding burnout. Thank you in advance.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know about this as well. I am excited but it can be a bit overwhelming, especially with a family and career.
DeleteI'd like to know how things changed for you - people around campus, friends, interactions, etc. What was it like going to parties after you crossed if you did go to them?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the blog? I thoroughly enjoyed it ��
