southerner= unable to think alone. walks in packs surrounded by groups of other southerners, not by sheer want but by necessity being that they all share the same brain and cannot be separate less one or more may die cause they cannot think what to do next.

No You Didn't...
 

Do you REALLY want to go there?

Q5, really. It's not that serious. If it IS that serious, I'll need for Pirate to delete this thread.

nobody said it was. i guess it touched a nerve. its not like its not the truth. there are too many southerners out there to deny it. You'll need for Pirate to delete....i swear this must be the GSS forum..maybe i'm in the wrong place.

Soror, you really didn't touch a nerve. I was just like, did you have to go there. I just didn't think it was necessary.

No this isn't the GSS forum which I rarely see you visit, this is a forum for APO. I'm just a visitor, but...I see what's up now.

then its all good
 

correction...i dont visit it at all.

Re: then its all good
 

I could really get into the southerner, idea. Because, by your definition, any one group of people could be classified as a southerner, regardless of where they come from. They all have to have a form of Group-Thinking.

Allow me to quote Jason Jones...

"My point is this: Alpha Phi Omega is guilty of GROUPTHINK! Yes, that's right. Preaching groupthink in the name of diversity. If I don't think or believe the ways that the majority of the brotherhood believes, then I am chastised and shunned. I believe this is the reason why there is so much debate over A-Phi-Q and APO in the brotherhood. Most of the all-male debates aren't really about being all-male. Deep down it's a cultural debate over norms, mores, and customs within the Fraternity. Ironically, Betsy gave some Convention tips in a 1992 issue of T&T, one of which listed "Beware of Groupthink". Go figure.

Alpha Phi Omega, I don't think that having brothers with different color skin tones on your membership roster is diversity. At best it's tolerance and tokenism. Diversity is respecting their individual cultures and norms. For brothers to be denied admission who have proven themselves serviceworthy but they don't meet some preconceived quota of "diverse brotherhood" but to embrace and welcome brothers who don't believe in God or practice homosexuality (an abomination), as a heterosexual, Christian male, I say that is SICK. IT'S REALLY SICK.

This A-Phi-Q issue will never die until the Fraternity can distinguish
diversity from groupthink."

..........

It is as if he thought the majority of individuals within Alpha Phi Omega, were I guess, Southerners.

Interesting.

well some of us know....what a southerner truly is. that was just putting it nicely so as not to point fingers. Think now thats a word that is never paired with a southerner, cause no matter how hard they try and how long they go to school...it will never happen. thats why they are a dying breed

Some individuals are not even born a southerner, they only become one after being in the area for so long. So when you are something that can only become, and "never" are able to relinquish the title, you can only perpetuate more membership. Growth will be the only possible outcome.

not if you kill it before it spawns...or my preference, injure it to the point where it is incapable of doing such

Now, that sounds like the Alpha Phi Omega I know. On the issue of all male chapters. Take away it's ablity to grow, even if it had a desire of it's own to grow. Even if it that is why it is. I'm just glad our goverment doesn't see things that way. OMG! :eek:

(Mom, why is my voice so tiny and the older I get the more it stays the same. All the other kids are not, their voices change as they get older." "Son, I been wanting to tell you this all of your life. You were castrated at birth because they did not want *who you are* to continue to exist.")

Now wait just one minute!
 

I've been trying to log into this thing for a while. However, I have had a few complications that prohibited me from signing on. Q5, those statements you made are some of the most IGNORANT things that I have EVER known to appear on a message board. What is this? The Darden and Q5 message board? Or, is this board designated for members of Alpha Phi Omega? You and Bro. Darden can keep your philosophies to yourselves. REAL torches know the business. I can't believe you had the nerve. Go PLEDGE! FOR REAL! I wish a cat would try to EVER grace OUR campus, talking this foolishness. Rest assure, those letters would be SNATCHED off you so fast you would even know what happened.

No need to reply. It's been officially SHUT DOWN.

Bro. Strawter

To make comments like these are not only ignorant but prejudice at the same time. For you to be a member of the beloved fraternity of Alpha Phi Omega, I am shocked, shamed and appauled to even see words such as these uttered from your mouth.

For you to say that "it must have touched a nerve," wouldnt any person of the South be upset at these comments. We are not getting upset because we know there is some validity in your comments. We are upset because there is no truth in those words and, like I mentioned before, they are down right prejudice.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but are you regarding the principles and beliefs of 25/52 as being so-called "Southern?" If so, you are sadly mistaken.

Open you mind and enter the 21st century, because it appears you were dropped off in the 1950's.

Oh whatever
 

well SSN its not like i care about what,why or how you think about what was said. W! I will call you a crackhead if i like cause its my opinion you dont like it dont read or respond. free country ...all thought some of yall have yet to realize you are free.

stop the madness
 

This is real funny to me, now im about to blow up some spots because i got my card and i really dont care, Now for Q5 wasnt you at a 25/52 fam picnic about 2 years ago profiling like you was down, maybe its just me or maybe i got the wrong person,
not unless we are talking about another girl from cali who is apo and gss profiling it be down with both but all they care about is themsleves? maybe i wrong . Also darden, from what i hear you better worry more about DC than this forum because your really not holding anything down. I use to think you was a REAL brother, just because you saw things differently than other wasnt to bad of a thing but now i doubt you, TRUE brothers dont just QUIT at what they started like you did no matter what happens and you know what im talking about. Being up north is pretty cool sometimes you hear alot of things.

This sound like 2 people who dont have a place in apo and are mad because no matter any angle they look at they will never fit in, a girl who is both in gss and apo who cant make up her mind and a apo who dont fit in with the fam or apo brothers.

This forum was started to talk about poetry, yes he said 25/52 fam but didnt apo start in 1925 and gss in 1952, so we are all 25/52 fam. And i could have swore there was a forum on that issue and i also could have swore that darden was saying that same thing about we are all fam and that gss and apo should be closer as a whole. But i could be wrong. And why is Q5 hating becasue she is both gss and apo. You should really hate yourself for joining 2 service org all i have to say is DUH and your not part of the fam as you claim so why you do it, thats a double DUH, how does that look " im in 2 service orgs that are co-ed" triple DUH and there the ones talking about people are ignorant.

Also its funny to me that the 2 people who see the org the same way and have the most negativity to say are so far apart, Q5 is in CALI and rashid is in DC. its so sad that only person you can identify with is so far so if this is what makes you happy then go ahead. Have fun in your internet world where you can sit behind a computer and be that person who you cant be in public, its not like you will say this in anyones face. So have fun in kiddy land, us grown foke need to talk about some REAL apo and gss issues.
