Respectfully I state the following: Ms. Ninja Poodle, as a member of Sigma Gamma Rho, you are dialoguing on the wrong board by saying that gritting is unnecessary or unattractive. In the instances when I have seen 'grits' it is usually exclusive to a certain set of groups whose letters shall remain nameless. Errrbody else wants to be pretty in their pictures or during probates.:p:p:p:D:D:rolleyes:

Its like oooooooh, we're so so hard and serious. Fear Us. No offense intended, but if anyone reading this ever gritted in a photo or probate, then maybe you ARE the topic of discussion. That is all. Enjoy your holiday ladies and gents.

^^^ Do you mean that she's preaching to the choir?

I am annoyed by the shimmy tradition. :confused::confused:

I am annoyed at a 40+year old man with a gut trying to shimmy naked to entice me.:eek::eek::o:o:mad::mad::(when he tries to do it, it invokes a range of emotions.

In his case it should be called the 'shelly', because nothing shimmies but that jelly on his gut.

That's a better way of saying it. :)

um what? how is she posting this on the wrong board? Is there an ownership clause here that no one was aware of? Dang, I thought the PURPOSE of this thread was that ANYONE could post what they thought was an annoying NPHC tradition/practice.

said all that to say what? And the grit is not owned nor given the exclusive rights to be used by ONE particular group. I wish a nucca would own a POUT. yes, a GRIT is the POUT a child uses when they are angry at the parent for putting them in timeout and such.

^^^I thought all the smilies meant she was joking. I missed something, didn't I? :confused:

word. i've see ALL of D9 grit in various probates, and at just random places (on the yard, at a party, etc) and its just unattractive all around.

and who WOULDNT want to look pretty at their probate?

Yep.

Its pretty hard for the Founders to pledge something that they created but having said that, "The Grit" is in integral part of our process......women , no. BTW, if you meet a handsome "Lamp" he must not be pledging too hard, lol. The only things I attracted while pledging were flies and Middle Eastern women (something about a weeks worth of sweat must send the pheromones in overdrive)

shut up. :rolleyes:

My post was every bit of sarcastic. Men and women who want to grit can grit all they want to, for all I care.

Now someone throw PerroLoco a furball so he can stay busy. :)

Your sarcasm precedes you Ma'am, never a need to explain yourself. Those of us who can swim in the deep end of the intellectual pool "get" you. Now off to go play with my furball of choice and get my grit on and my rocks off....;)

If only you had grabbed that before you typed that paragraph. :)

urm....I attended a stroll exhibition with children present...and everyone KNEW they were present as we gave them a shoutout....why in the blue hades would two orgs find it appropriate to grind on the floor....girate their...members in front of the audience knowing DANG well that children are watching their every move?!

a certain org is supposed to step at my little sister's assembly...they pull any of that I'm booing them off stage with my letters on.

I also wish folks would stop trying to recruit everyone....what happened to hello? how are you? tell me about yourself...

true story...eating at subway and this dude WHOM I DON'T KNOW AT ALL sits down in front of me telling me..NOT asking about his org and how it would benefit me....luckily I had my keychain with my letters and just went...yeah...about that..and showed it to him..dude just paused and left the restaurant

DON'T BUG ME WHEN I'M EATING!
