I was walking the hallways on my way to lunch when our financial clerk and a teacher's aide (both Latio males) were approaching. The clerk began stomping around and clapping. He's a silly guy as it is but I didn't understand what he was doing and neither did the aid. He turns to the aide and says "She knows about that. She's part of stomp the yard."

True, it was a teachable moment but I didn't feel like it--I was on my lunch break.

That's kinda funny. We are not in individual orgs; we are Stomp the Yard.

I totally agree w/ you about the teachable moments, but sometimes (like my story about the guy at Express Oil Change) I just don't feel like it.

LOL! My older sister went to college when I was in the fifth grade and a lot of her friends pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha. I remember hearing them talk about it and at the time the only thing that I thought AKA stood for was Alpha Kappa Alpha, well one day we were in math class and this girl next to me asked me what AKA stood for. I looked and her with a big smile and said "Alpha Kappa Alpha! The best sorority to join!" She looked at me with a :confused: look and said "Katie wrote me a letter that says "To: Tiff AKA Shorty"...I don't get it..."

When I think about it I can't help but laugh and feel so ignorant.

I hate that movie because of that lol

I went to Walgreen's about a week ago and had letters on. The cashier stopped checking people out, walked out of her register area, and yelled out "Delta...Sigma...Theta?" I kind of gave her that wtf :confused: look and told her "It's actually Omega Delta Phi Fraternity. She responded with "Omega..Delpho..ahh forget it, there's too many letters. You'll just be Delta."

Not quite, ma'am. But I had to laugh at it.




(sorry to quote such an old post. I'd never seen this one before)

^^^ The lesson I took from it: Stay in school, kids, or this can happen to you. :rolleyes:

My Jesus. This thread lives on!

Yep, sure does. And it gets funnier by the post!!! :D

The three of us are CRAZY LOL! I just re-read this!

Wow, talk about necroposting.

Ok here's one: After I crossed and I was working the front desk in the dorm on one of my shifts (I was an RA at the time) one of my residents looks at my line shirt and wondered what the letters meant.

So I told her, "Kappa Alpha Psi".

And her response was, "oh, is that a new organization or something?"

*Sigh*

This one was more of a statement...
 

Right after I crossed, I was at the airport to fly home for Christmas. I was checking my luggage, and being the neo that I am, I travel in paraphernalia. I had on an "AKA 1908" hat (I've worn the hell out of it too!:D) The lady checking me in then hands me my ticket, and cheerfully says:

"OK, **(my name)**, ALSO KNOWN AS nineteen oh-eight, here's your ticket, Gate B1."

I took it and walked away kind of confused. It wasn't until I was waiting at the gate that I started chuckling, "ooohhh I get it."

I've heard of people making these mistakes:
AKA= also known as
DST= daylight savings time
PBS= public broadcasting system
any others?

Good one. LOL

My uncle (Who's a Que) said that about my dog-tag when I came to one of his seasonal barbeques.. Heh..

Some funny comments at that bbq, being that all his friends that I've known when I was growing up are Ques also.

Man, they were salty when I walked in there neo'd out.

OPP = Other Peoples 'Property' :D

random stops me:

random: When is the next meeting?
me: We have a health awareness program tomorrow
random: No, I don't have time to go to any programs. When is the next interest meeting?
me: **blank stare. walks off**

^^^ I love your answer. *giggles*

I have to laugh because the cousin I was talking about in this thread is now a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. He got himself together between Freshman and Junior year LOL!

Ok this is no lie!!!!! I work in a school. Being the neo that I am, my first day back to work after I crossed I had on a salmon pink blazer with an apple green top, an AKA lapel pin and some "watch out now" dark washed jeans with the coordinating three-inch heels. Oh yeah and a string of pearls to finish off the look.

****I had to give you a visual to go with this story***

So I am sitting in my room doing therapy when the superintendant walks in with my hot mess of a principal who is tossin back hands full of trail mix and speaking with a full mouth. The superintendant notices my pin and says , "Well hello, soror". We greet eachother and that is that...or so I think. My hot mess of a principal says, OH so you are one of "those AKAs" huh? SO what did you have to do to get in? ( Oh wait it gets better) I ignored her question cause I would have said something smart had the supperintendant not been in the room. So she (hot mess) asks very innocently asked, when were you guys founded. I said, January 15, 1908 on the campus of Howard University. (okay now she is the dumbest so i thought she really didnt know) Then she gets all "DP" on me and says "Name the founders!" .. Needless to say, I was speechless because this woman isn't AKA the first. SO I said " Pardon me?" THis fool said, " I am trying to do like they do. Am I asking the right questions? WOW! The superintendant and I exchanged looks and then she rolled her eyes. My soror ushered her out of the room. I guess she saw it on my face.

END NOTE: Hot mess got fired two skee weeks later... I'm not saying it had anything to do with that incident but it does give a great ending to that story.

You Really ARE cold blooded like a mamal :p:D

lol--the guy who said that wasn't talking about me. We were at drill. He said that about another chick, and looked at me to co-sign. I will admit that I'm good for giving people a blank stare though because I gave him one for a sec & told him that mammals weren't cold-blooded.

Well to be fair, I wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed when I was an Interest, hell, even when I was interested.

But at least I wasn't a moron like some of these people are.

Yeah, cuz KAY sells some cheap diamonds. :D

Today at the shoe boutique. The salesman was cool as a fan and highly accomplished and community service oriented. So we talked for an hour. But it was preceded by the typical college stuff where he said:

Him: "Delta, huh? Skeewee!!!!...oh...no...that's not what you all say...."
Me: "Nope but I am still amused." :)

Him: "I kind of wanted to pledge Kappa when I was in college (in the 1980s) until I saw their underground stuff and it was very homosexual. The Grooves ran the yard and I liked their style...but even they had their problems I guess...."
Me: (wondering if I should be my usual smartass self or be cool) "uh...well it's dumb that you were exposed to that underground stuff, I guess, but we have a lot of chapters so what you saw is just that...what YOU saw and what THEY were doing...."
Him: "yeah well that's what THEY were doing back then..."
Me: "uh...what YOU saw is just that...what YOU saw...and what THEY were doing...don't dismiss BGLOs as a whole because of it...."
Him: "well...I guess you're right..."
Me: (blank stare and thinking "NO SHIT, I'm right.") "Yeah so do you have my size in this shoe?" :D

Him: "I never wanted to get into that stepping stuff."
Me: "Well that's a very small % of what we do...but when you were 19 you were busy admiring the good times the Grooves were having...you wouldn't have wanted to wear a suit, attend meetings, and do community service."
Him: "True!"
Me: "Oooookay...."

Hey! I'm good friends with the Grooves on my campus..

They're a decent group of people!

They can step their asses off. *_* Their "practice" sessions are more like African Warrior Training regiments...

Did they have the shoes in your size? :D I bet it's hard to find size 4s--huh?

^^^ Hater, everyday all day. :D

Yeah I shared in the random thread that I got 3 pairs for the price of 2 pairs. :) I love my new shoes. :D

Yeah they are cool and have a lot of fun.

I just found it funny that a man who loved the Grooves' good times (he didn't see their service--I don't know if they even had any service) would then attempt to criticize BGLOs because we...just...step...and that's all we do. Surely people who don't want to step wouldn't want to be members, right? :(

I can't help it that you are petite. :D

*doing the cabbage patch*

:D

This thread is a hoot

(At my school teachers are encouraged to wear greek and college para to help inspire kids to go to college.)

Kindergarteners-

"What does A-K-A spell?"

"What? Affa Kapple Apple?"

"That is Ms. Laylo's sor-i-dee."

"S..p..r...spr! ...That's not a word."


Third grader walks in this morning, sees my jacket and his eyes bug out of his head: "You play soccer?!!"

huh? lol.

LOL!

When I was a kid I told my uncle I wanted to be an Apple Pie Apple like him (because his nalia was so cool LOL). I love apple pie so it would've been perfect for me, right? Imagine my pain when I found out I couldn't join because I'm female, and that the organization has nothing to do with desserts! :rolleyes:

LOL @ off the record!!!:D

Wow! :D

As in Greece?
 

This was what wasn't said; just weird.

I won't say the school, who knows, I may end up applying for a job there someday.
I had started a master's program at a small Northwest state college with a very small Greek system.
The instructor asked everyone in the class to give a short bio and say what area of higher education we might be interested in.
My turn: I said leadership development, orientation programming and possibly Greek life.
:confused:I saw more than a few puzzled faces. So, I said, like working with, advising fraternities and sororities.
A family emergency caused me to drop classes, so at least I didn't need a translator to get through the class.

" So you basically just paid for some friends, huh? "

Sorry to crash.... i heard these tonight:

"So are there any fraternity boys that are hot?"

"There are 75 girls in your sorority?? thats alot! are you like BFF with all of them?"

LOl
 

I told this honey dip of mine that i'm a member of KAPSI and she replied "im on a step team too". I looked at her like WTF and said you're stupid!!!!
