Islamic sorority @ U of K

[Baashi]

The story was on the radio this morning.

 

Here and there.

Baashi, this is a salutation in recognition of their achievement.It must be a brilliant idea.I wonder if they have a fan club;i could write an email to them.The thing i never liked about Sororities and fraternies is the hitting of the keg(beer).When you are a member of these fraternies; you are basically buying freinds.I hope the muslim sorority will be a model of perfection for the rest of America.

Taking a seat at the introductory meeting, Boushra Aghil, a 20-year-old junior in an olive green shirt and black hijab,

Mhmmm…What a blessed sight; *A big Sigh accompanied by a mashallah*.

 

Maybe the somali kids in qaxoti populated cities can use this.

 

Thanks Baashi,i know which Univ My daughter will go to(Inshallah). Pioneers;Mashallah

Good news. We are slowly, but surely, making progress. An antidote to the looming assimilation.

I beg to differ and say this is as good as it gets for the young guns trying to fit in a place where "trying new stuff", "experimenting", "partying", and "having fun" is the norm. By having a circle of friends with similar background, they are better off than getting "jigging wid it" free fall, I say.

 

The fresh year is a very difficult one. This sorority thing will come handy for the beginners

Now tell me, good Baashi, if that is not a departure from the typical norm in the college life..

[Castro]

^ Whatever happened to striving for brothers who play ball and drinking inordinate amounts of booze?

 

This is a great idea by the way. One more reason to let my kids go off to colleges far away from home. Before this, I had none.

[xiinfaniin]

^^^No more boozing up , saaxiib. Not in this one, anyway.

[STOIC]

^^This one will be a true drug free zone;this why i said it is a brilliant idea.Who wouldn't wanna see on sorority Rush night girls reading the Quraan?

 

PS Any dad out there; you better make sure your daughter is a xaafiid .

Actually, it seems to me that many of you are not really aware of sororities and fraternities besides what you see on the Television.

 

I belong to a Multicultural Sorority and I can guarantee you that:

 

a) I bdid not buy my friends - my sorority is a non-profit and if we have to do activities/events/diversity forums, we need to be able to cover all the overhead expenses we incur. And my sorority sisters, we are closer than alot of the friends I made in college. That is why it's called a sisterhood.

 

b) We do not condone Drinking. We can't even drink if we have our letters on. We have NEVER hosted nor will host a party that will condone drinking.

 

 

We are not the only sororities out there who don't do that. Do your research before you spout of your "20/20" version of Sororities.

 

BTW, it's a great sorority, and I've already sent them an email of congrats.

[STOIC]

Heh.This is not a version of 20/20 newsbit clips.I live three buildings across from this sororities/fraternities.I witness the savage behaviour of these sororities every night and day.Now am not implicating that every sorority girl or frate boy is a booze drinker.There may be an exception but the majority are a bunch of kids who peddle on how to get wasted on friday night.The efficacy of most frat/sororities are good;they are building the sisterhood/brotherhood thing but majority of the kids join it to form a freindship that i couldn't get it from the campus.

You are talking about NPC/IFC/LOCAL fraternities and sororities. What they do is there business.

 

There are black, latino, multicultural, asian and other culture-specific fraternities out there..who do not have "kegging" image. Just dont make it seem like ALL of them are like that, because it's not.

 

Otherwise, I would never have joined.
