Pigma Savannah State University a historical black college that is recognized by many all over a beautiful campus with amazing architecture and social life but what’s the one thing that stands out at any HBCU the Greek organizations the Greek organizations over time have accumulated many many stereotypes but many stereotypes have at
Least a little truth in them is this the case is it really a hundred percent in this case is it the organization’s fault for these stereotypes or maybe is it just a misunderstanding stereotypes like pretty girls time they white on the low bottle like a car don’t care about anything that they
Don’t Playboy people’s around also very good from the DotA’s an assistant to the Dean that works here as a Venezuelan anyway actually I did not hear very many stereotypes before entering the organization because all of the women who sort of had an influence on me that were members of the organization they
Were all very positive and I only saw them doing good things in the community it wasn’t until I enter college that I began to hear some of the stereotypes I guess one of the stereotypes that I initially heard about was privilege which is where start to pledge before anything official these things they
Managed to become a meme anticipation or positive a negative way oh absolutely in a positive way assuming our regional conferences national conventions put you in touch with so many dynamic not sorted get to me I think at least here in Samana is a true community the council and even when I had the
Opportunity to live in Boston for five years that’s really one of the ways that I made connection and social connections in the city was by affiliated with chapters that were in by the Massachusetts and getting to know the people that are slightly only good things happening for membership and on
Lastly there’s been a lot of changes lately with a membership intake process and a lot of the organization how do you feel like that has a big the organization’s for a positive or negative way in terms of positive ways I think that if this allows stronger persons to become parts of the
Organization so I think changes in grade point average having community service requirements those types of things have only made their membership stronger because for the most part that’s what the divide is all about serving their community publicly their members were part of the education and
I think in those ways it has really been good I think though that there has been prevalence with ease and simply and I think some of that has to do with a lot of media that goes on today so things on TV at the exhibit most people
Would not have thought about before you can flick on your television set and you see all sorts of spots and things one for someone that has a negative view on those in favor well I would say that they probably don’t feel very much about poor organization so you can’t judge any
Organization just one or two people that you may have observe and it’s really up to you to find out what that organization is about to find out what their mission is about and I think when you take each individual organization that you come away with a different perspective
When you look nationally at what organization the new organizations you look at local chapters in terms of what they’re doing to service their community I don’t think there’s impression so you have to be mindful of whether you are evaluating a particular person that’s a member of our organization and Robin Hood very
Hi I’m Tara do doll spring 2008 almighty epidemic five signs of kinetic ear toward photo spring-like what is my chair doll yeah my nasty tail dog into this when I organization our chapters founded in 1949 so we celebrate right now it’s at the anniversary shout out of
Bursaries 65 years we stand on a front of manhood scholarship perseverance at Oh or car approaching stereotype we got in like crazy stuff with what you got in the organization we really found out the main thing that people realize when an organization is a business more so than just wearing a shirt
With business first by our organization our chapter specifically one type of the year by district and state of Georgia yeah now I compete for a national champion our district is Georgia Florida Mississippi and Alabama and we wore the best chapter out of all four of those districts all four of those things we
Also won scholarships after a year in the lacy he chopped of the year and numerous other awards along with a 3.0 GPA for the chapter another stereotype so cubes not gone oh yeah stereotypes is that all humans are nasty the night we always tell people there’s a time and place for everything
It’s a time and place for everything everything right now you see us with our bracelets on black yesterday just yesterday them I hope he had a legend with a certain side who nominated for community service it’s true the Savannah quite generous donation to services so make some pies well-known
Organization for being pivot oriented and official and I just asked $2 cute dogs what a party but a lot of people don’t know so basically it boils down to don’t believe what you hear but hey it’s QED 2010 and you notice and we got an oil spill said they spring going we’re
All right we actually found the cue dog that was a little different from what was some of the stereotypes that you heard about Omega support some of the stereotypes I’ve heard about the cues before I graduate maybe it’s not a real fraternity I heard a couple of neighborhood pain-in-the-ass
T-they permissible is a lot of what have you seen as far as since you became a member you think so most area sides are true or well they are the way they are crazy we have a good time but the stereotypes is about us being stupid
Extremely we when I was on the job we had the highest GPA Java for at least three years 508 yeah no yeah you’re forgiven Saturday that’s last eight is one chapter the year for the state the district was his four states Mississippi Alabama Georgia Florida and
You a chapter here on all those states our chaps there and we also been up for writing for charity or for the national choir national fraternity um sauce it’s not graduating every bottle my line has graduated that’s one thing especially the older brother chapter promote you gonna graduate
You need to statically you need to get out of school and it’s kinda fashion most of the brothers and my foot in my chapter have gone on to get master’s degrees doctoral degrees I’m actually in grad school myself so it’s a lot of it’s a lot of stuff
That people put out there about maybe in general this is not true do you think that those nails negative stereotypes have helped hurt you now that you’ve graduated and went on to pursue a career well no most people in the community most people are in invisible world know
About I’ll make this most people we do so much to mean the service we do so much for the community today it’s almost a people respect you with so many changes going on throughout the green community what the MIT the membership intake processes have any changes in
Your process or in the process help there hurt Omega as a whole or have any other changes and other organizations affected your organization the Memphis to intake process there’s a whole Greek letter organizations I was put in place because know a few bad apples people do
It they need to be doing taking the place process oh boy and so the National pan-hellenic Council got together and decided a was structuring making pretty much the same for everybody so everybody has about a month process for being able to coming and doing it take until fraternity or
Sorority with that man say I’m off is not really a lot of time you know it’s not a lot of time to really get to know the people that you come in an organization with get to know other people today in organization before you buy any established traditional our
Attorneys traditions in it and information thoroughly enough for you to be able to say you know the organization bad thing is for a lot of organizations I think it has hurt the heard the hurts from the organization’s you know the timeframe long as you build in that introduce my pledge process they
Post 90 you don’t really have so they kind of hurt way the same time he keeps things first what people don’t go aboard that door what is something mysterious between your battery I mean Pollyanna don’t care about anything can’t step on that their plot or whatsoever or they’re
Just beat the crap out of you I mean I’ve heard like a lot a couple of things there’s this you know it’s kind of negative but I don’t know I guess there’s some positive thing come on what do you think about a Greek life in here
From an insane you know state I mean compared to other colleges and I’ve seen how they have like they have their own fry houses you know we guys want with me it’s usually somewhere damn campus but I mean they’re pretty good you know they they I see him do lot of things in
