BLACK GREEK STEREOTYPES
Ever wanted the 411 on Black Greeks? If you are not Greek, just remember
this is just a stereotype and should not discourage you from becoming a
member of any one of these fraternities or sororities. Each represents
positive unity in brotherhood and sisterhood at your college and/or
university. These Greeks bring African-American tradition to your campus and
hold a major and power voice for your student body. These Organizations will
help enrich your college and university years and many fun memories after.
But...
ALPHA PHI ALPHA
Code Name: Mr. Money Maker
Intelligent is an understatement. This brother is definitely "book smart".
He is usually an engineer, math or science major and usually fragile
looking. They will always be proud to be the first and will let you know by
stuttering it - (one, one, one, nine, oh six, oh six). Although the AKA's
are his sisters, he doesn't seem to be interested in women at all. He
certainly won't liven up a party; but he makes an excellent study partner.
ADVANTAGE: He will usually find a good paying job; and he's very stable and
responsible.
DISADVANTAGE: He may bore you to death, or leave you for a man!
OMEGA PSI PHI
Code Name: Mr. What's Your Pleasure
He's not called a "Que Dog" for nothing! All the women on and off campus,
young and old, want him because he is sexy, attractive, and extremely
charismatic. He has the body of a football player and the instinct of a
Spartan Infantry Warrior. He can charm the panties off ANY women he wants.
If you want this brother, get ready for the roller coaster ride of your
life, and hold on tight! If you don't he will slip through your fingers.
Don't worry; he'll visit occasionally around midnight. Has no problem
getting a woman, but has BIG problems keeping them because every time he
settles down with one he likes, she cheats on him with his arch enemy - the
Nupe! No man can liven up a party like he can, but you must have plenty of
alcohol. Get the 30-gallon trash can out and start preparing the "Purple
Passion" for the bruhs. He loves to party and hang with the Deltas, but he
will marry the AKA because she is willing to put up with his crap. He did
NOT go to college to become a doctor, lawyer, etc. He enrolled to become a
QUE, so he is not focused on his graduation date. He just doesn't have time
to study! These are the only brothers who will show up at a college party no
matter how old they are because his party instinct will never die out.
ADVANTAGE: Life won't be boring with them.
DISADVANTAGE: Life may be too eventful; you might prefer less drama and more
fidelity.
KAPPA ALPHA PSI
Code Name: Mr. Don't I Look Good
If you like your man thinking he looks better than you do, the NUPE is the
one! Sisters only spit game if they dare. If he wants you, consider yourself
BLESSED! Don't even think you got a chance if your hair is not bouncing to
your shoulders, or at least have that potential. He loves the AKA's and as I
stated before, he doesn't have to compete with the Alpha's. However the
Deltas, Sigma Gamma Rhos, the Zetas, the Sweethearts, Eastern Stars, and the
non-Greek females have all been notches on his bedposts at one time or
another. He is immaculate in his appearance. He is well spoken and well
groomed. His crib is pretty laid also; he has beautiful artwork and all! His
car is always clean and it's a nice ride. Let's face it, this brother looks
good! Unfortunately, he is only good for "show" because he doesn't like to
break a sweat. He also doesn't want any sweat on him. At the beginning of
each fall school year he seems to nab a couple of incoming freshmen females
no matter how old he is and how young THEY ARE. Graduation might happen in
about 6 or 7 years (he has to have a full time job to keep up with EVERY
Greek event complete with new outfit and cane). Or they might just walk to
make the chapter look good, but he will still be on the yard for another
year... finishing up!
ADVANTAGES: You will get excellent gifts; his taste is incredible and he is
very romantic.
DISADVANTAGES: He is in serious debt because he can't afford his lifestyle
and you may find yourself fighting with his groupies or being stalked by his
psycho ex-lovers.
PHI BETA SIGMA
Code Name: Mr. Country
These brothers are just doing their own thing, hanging out with the Zetas.
You just can't stereotype this breed. They wanted to be tough as Ques and
pretty as the Nupes, so they decided to be a bit of both in the Blue. This
group of brothers wanted to pledge, but didn't fit in with the other frats.
In fact, their pledge period lasts only a week. They will argue you up and
down that they give wood (hazing), but only make their pledges do push ups
and sit ups. They come in all shapes, sizes, intellectual levels, and
personalities. Let's just call them "potluck". They claim that they were the
first cane twirlers, yet a chapter is lucky if one can twirl a cane. But
what is really known is that they all are country as hell for some reason.
ADVANTAGES: They can't be stereotyped;, will not cheat on their girl.
DISADVANTAGES: You don't know what to expect.
IOTA PHI THETA
Code Name: Mr. You Always Forget About Us
There is not much to say of these brothers. They always seem to be popping
up randomly at universities with no chapter to claim. Most people confuse
this fraternity with an international society or an African club. They never
get on anyone's nerves because they are so quiet. Give this fraternity
another 40 or 50 years to earn a stereotype.
ADVANTAGES: None
DISADVANTAGES: None
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA
Code Name: Ms. Vogue
This is the sister that was on the ball. She is involved in most of the
campus organizations and activities that provided major exposure. She's
known by everyone. Graduated in 3.5 years; she shows great initiative.
Attractive, I must say. Hair, for the most is always done, and her wardrobe
is tight. She passes the brown paper bag test. Most guys would date her, but
reconsider after they discover her messed-up attitude and high dollar dates.
Composed in the public eye; behind closed doors, a major freak! The Alphas
are her brothers, but she really wants to claim the NUPES because of that
common prettiness. She prefers the QUES behind closed doors to take care of
that freaky side that is hard for others to satisfy.
ADVANTAGE: Would produce good-looking kids.
DISADVANTAGE: High maintenance. If you have a political career, the
indiscretion might come up!
DELTA SIGMA THETA
Code Name: Ms. I'm Every Woman, It's All In Me
She never considered AKA. Definitely never even thought about joining AKA,
the attitude was beneath her. Ride or Die, very bright, usually at the top
of their class! Down-to-earth, witty, and short-tempered. She can hold down
her own at a bar and in a boardroom. She's confident in herself,
intellectual, magnetic, and very business oriented. She isn't just involved
in campus organizations, SHE RUNS THEM. Loves the Ques just because. Proud
to have her own everything and will let you know that it's hers and she
doesn't need a man for anything, except for sex. If she does sleep with you,
she will cut off the supply in a minute because she knows there is another
brother coming along. People, beware if you decide to mess with this girl.
She will cut you with a switch blade in a second and question your innocence
later. "What!!!... Mutherf**ker, I know you didn't!!!" (SLASH, SLASH, SLASH)
ADVANTAGES: She's a DELTA, need I say more!!!
DISADVANTAGES: Be cautious about making her your girl, she's headstrong and
will NOT tolerate the mess!!! Men, sleep with one eye open!!!
ZETA PHI BETA
Code Name: Ms. I Wanna Be Down
This is a really grass roots sister. She is sophisticated on the East Coast,
dangerous on the West Coast, cute in the Midwest, and LARGE Down South.
Involved in campus activities and organizations you never knew existed. She
is pretty well rounded and common. Man, this chick can cook! Talk about
sisterhood, she never rolls solo! Two or three Sorors go wherever she goes.
She thinks Sigmas are the best thing since sliced bread. It is common to see
her and her Sigma boyfriend at a step show with their one-year-old son
(usually fathered by a NUPE). Dependable friend when times get hard. Usually
has some eclectic personality (tarot card reader, voodoo witch, dread locked
weed smoker). Was probably the pee-pee girl in elementary school or the one
that ate her own boogers. Has a weight control problem (because of all the
soul food she eats). It also makes you think why the Delta's mascot is an
elephant when these sisters come to the party in large herds. Often reads or
writes poetry because she has a lot of free time. She is subject to fall in
love over the Internet or on a telephone party line.
ADVANTAGES: You'll never have to worry about Sunday dinner.
DISADVANTAGES: Could be a stain on your rep if anyone found out you creep
with her on a regular basis.
SIGMA GAMMA RHO
Code Name: Ms. Independent and Free, Our Organization is Part of NPHC?
She's a really sweet person although kinda nerdy in a cute way. You saw her
all the time on the yard and didn't know they had a chapter at your school
and that she was a member. She's fascinated by the notion that her
organization is somehow connected to Kappa Alpha Psi. In an around about
way, she reminds you of Ms. Plain Jane. They have a lot in common yet her
cookin' is not off the chain. Sometimes, you think to yourself, she's kinda
cute. Where has she been hiding?
ADVANTAGES: Will not stain your reputation and has a tremendous upside. She
belongs to an organization that has seen a surge in popularity recently.
Content with any kind of attention, doesn't mind if there are no strings
attach.
DISADVANTAGES: We wish those fine Kappa's would accepts us as Sorors...
SWEETHEARTS (also known as G.D.I.'s)
Code Name: Ms. Set It Out
These people are weird. They might as well pledge a sorority, but their
G.P.A. will not allow them. Usually gossiped as being set out by the
fraternity or having sex with one of the fraternity brothers they are linked
to. They will walk around proud when everyone else will be laughing at them
when they walk away. They usually do small chores and are used just for
that.
ADVANTAGE: Able to get into the fraternity party they are associated to for
free.
DISADVANTAGE: Used, laughed at, and will always be remembered that way.
