So this wasn't said to me, but one of the BRUHS it happened to told me about it. It is a custom to sing the Hymn when a Bruh graduates, gets married, etc. So this Bruh has graduated and all the Bruhs gather to sing the Hymn. While they are singing, his family is behind them and his mother turns to her other son and says, "At least they coulda sang something EVERYBODY knows!" LOL!!!

I work at a high school and when I wear letters, my students always want me to invite the TNT guys from Stomp the Yard to do a show at our school:rolleyes:

LMAO!!! I hope someone explained it to her later.

:confused: You can't be serious. If even one of your students is serious, I'm scared that a movie storyline can't be separated from real life. Just...damn. *sigh*

Recently, I wore a SGRho shirt with the 10 pearls and 2 rubies in the Sigma. A colleague that I'm cool with simply asked, "I know that the letters are for your sorority, but what's with the red and white dots on the Sigma?" I explain that they are the sorority jewels that have a special significance that are dear to all sorority sisters. She replies, "Oh. It's kinda hard to imagine white and red dots as pearls and rubies. But no one else has rubies? Why does your sorority?"

....:confused: I could only look at her like she was stupid because I don't recall the last time I've ever seen large pearlesque balls on someone's shirt. So that makes no sense for no one. But the look on my face probably said, "Didn't I just tell yo' dumb arse that it has significance to the sisters IN the sorority? If I wanted to tell you......, I would've told you immediately. Why doesn't your IT brain comprehend that???" But I just said as nicely as I could, "The info on the rubies is only for members of the sorority. I'm sorry I can't say more." I think the look on my face (I have a hard time hiding what I'm thinking) has kept her from addressing anything Greek with me again.

I don't know how funny it was, but a dude that was trying to talk to me was reading my shirt. That day I was at a picnic and wearing my AKA shirt with it spelled out. So he nodded at me, leaned back casually and said, "so you're an Alpha Kappa Alpha huh? My brother is one of those too." I was never really clear on whether he was just that clueless/stupid or if he meant his brother was a Miaka. I could only walk off at that point. My friends were CRACKING up.

That is hilarious.

Ok, sorry to crash, but I think some y'all are being really intolerant of nongreeks. I haven't read this whole thread, but a lot of what I have read seems pretty mean. If they don't know anything about the Greek life, they can't know that some of their comments are completely off-base.
Maybe try showing a little understanding of those who haven't lived a Greek life?

Completely understanding where you are coming from, because many people on here (who are now greek) haven't always lived greek life. However, I have always been taught to refrain from speaking on topics I am not well-versed in. And one of my pet peeves is when people say anything to make conversation...especially when it is greek related. Just say, "hello" and K.I.M.

Some idiot thought I was a member of Alpha Kappa Psi. WTF? How?:confused:

Never heard of them.

It's a business co-ed fraternity...get that from time to time...lol!

Was he really #670? Out-of-order!

That person was the 670th person to be ever be initiated in that chapter. That's how a lot of those organizations do it instead of starting over at 1 for each line.

Never heard of that...interesting...

This just happened a few minutes ago on my job. I am always cold, so I wear my letter jacket to work. A guy who is not a medical student approaches me.

Him: Are you a part of the stomp program? (tried to stomp)

Me: :confused:

Him: Are you a Alpha or a Omega?

Me: :confused: No, I'm a Delta. Alpha and Omegas are guys.

Him: That means that Alphas and Omegas are guys and Deltas are girls?

Me: Yes. :rolleyes:

Incidents like that don't make me want to wear my jacket in public.

AMEN!

I swear, it's been some years since Stomp The Yard has been out. I would think by now, general public would realize Omega Delta Phi =/= Theta Nu Theta

Let us be thankful he is not in the Med program...:D

lol--speaking of which, I've had guys in my National Guard unit ask "Do y'all stomp the yard?" That was in 2007 or so. My undergraduate chapter visited a preschool for their "community helpers" week. The teacher asked "will you guys stomp for us?"
