'And what of "Desperately Wanting," the 1996 hit that reached No. 10 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts? The one widely rumored to be about Griffin’s experiences with the Kappa Sigma fraternity at LSU?
Not true, said Griffin.
"Jim Payne (touring keyboardist/guitarist) and I were in the Kappa Sigma fraternity at LSU," said Griffin. "For some reason it got out that ‘Desperately Wanting’ was about being a pledge, but the reality is it had nothing to do with that. But all around the country, whenever we play it, guys in their [Kappa Sigma] shirts love it."'
The meaning I get from this song probably is not exactly what the author intended, as it relates to someone I knew as an acquaintance as teenagers and had a relationship with years later. The point is, Griffin has clearly stated it has nothing to do with Kappa Sigma. So sorry to burst your bubbles.
Sorry, Kappa Sigmas. You're misinformed.
