Greek

They changed for several reasons. Here's what I think happened:

-ΖΠΜ- wanted to expand from local to national... so they became -ΔΣΦ-.

-ΔΑΣ- wanted to stop hazing and expand to national... so they became -ΣΣΣ-.

-ΣΚΤ- wanted to stop hazing and expand to national... so they became -ΣΝ-.

As for the other two local Greeks, -ΑΣΘ- and -ΚΦΘ-, they are local so they do not have a national headquarters to depend on. If something goes wrong, they can be shut down easily. They do not have much insurance to support them. Being local is a big risk.

Well said!

That is so important for the local greek organizations to carry their own insurances.
 
but if the local one becomes bigger then they can be national and their names will never have to change right?

Actually if the local wanted to expand and go national, it'll have to go through a long recruiting progress to establish HQ, policies, etc to still be the 'same' Greek letters. It's just easier to adopt a national fraternal organization's letters than it is to expand itself as the same one.

Yes, they can get their own insurance... but since it's a local chapter... their insurance won't cover much. Most national/international fraternities have insurance that can go over $1,000,000. Local fraternities can't get that kind of insurance.

Yes, any fraternity can become national. It's a long step-by-step process and setting one up these days is harder than it was in the past. Most national/international fraternities were established over 100 years ago.
 
California is a new state compared to others. I have noticed that many national chapters started on the east coasts........if more greeks are national and it was founded in California, we can be rivals to those on the East Coast. Also another problem with national, you cant check to see if they uphold the same standards (aka Hazing) etc..........there is some chapters up here in north cali that have been closed cuz of their reckless and crazy behavior.......
 
Opinion:

They are good benefits for the real world.

I'm a sophmore in college and proud GDI with my own little private, local Soritory- Epsilon Gamma that only contains 3 members. :D No rules are applied nor insurance which is nice. Heheh.

I've thought about joining the pledge program for Alpha Sigma Theta and see how that goes, but for sure I know I do want to become a Sigma Sigma Sigma sister as I have tried joining my first year at RIT. I even rushed for a hearing soritory at RIT- Delta Phi Epsilon (DPhiE). But right now, I like being GDI.

Aren't you contradicting yourself? You're GDI in a private sorority? If you believe you're in a private sorority, therefore you aren't GDI. If you believe you're GDI, therefore you aren't part of your own private sorority. :thumb:

Actually...Epsilon Gamma isn't "a soritory" yet... and it isn't nationally-wide known frat or soritiory by that name except Epsilon Gamma Tau for a Frat somewhere in Arizona. Sooo we GDI like to iminiate the image of "soritory" so therefore we are still GDI with no wheareabouts of the offical-soritory name. It could also contain a club name. :D

Edit: Excuse my typo.

You're right. They suck. If they are underground, then they are either troublemakers or just refuse to cooperate with the school. We've had a few of those in the past and some of them were busted. Heh!
