Unless you know exactly what her financial situation, or anyone's financial situation, entails, then it's best to not come with a whole bunch of assumptions.

Matching custom shirts doesn't mean that they spent a boatload of money. Custom could even mean that they customized the shirts.

But some investments have less risk than others, wouldn't you agree? Now some will say with greater risk comes greater reward, but I certainly don't think that is universal.

GC is filled with assumptions. The entire thread about PIKE coming to Howard is about nothing but assumptions.

I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

Bowing out is a very courageous thing to do. You're aight with me. :D

I never denied anything existed. I stated that you should refrain from assuming where people get things that you don't think they should have, based on their financial situation. Please point out where I denied such things existed.

My bad, I must have taken your meaning differently than you intended. Outside of the description of the girl from AI, the 1st 3 examples that I listed were of general situations/examples of people with misplaced priorities. Although I might not know someone personally in each situation, I'm sure that we can find folks right here on GC who do. When you said that all you saw were assumptions, then I thought that you were saying that those general situations don't occur.

It was actually more of a joke than an assumption. I guess it didn't go over too well, huh. :(

I nominiate the ZPB president. She has put a spotlight on their sorority, not in a good way. Unfortunately, people remember the bad you've done more than the good.

Yep. Remember how they did "us" after the incident in Cali? You never know when it's "your" turn to take us 2 steps back.

They= greeks, the media, non-greeks

I nominate you, for being a sidekick/do-girl to a bunch of men who should be taking care of their own business. Willingly loaning yourself out in God knows what ways is embarassing to me and other Black women who work hard to present ourselves as capable women.

Stop rocking that letter and a heart and representing that illegal organization, THEN you can POSSIBLY be taken seriously. :rolleyes:

Boom,

It obvious that you need someone to talk to and argue with. That person will not be me. You dont know me. I dont know you. Lets leave it like that.

You've probably already found this thread, but just in case...this is the situation that she is referring to:

I think we have all been guilty of taking two steps forward and two steps back. Progress is a constant struggle and we all have different starting points that will shape our progress. The Lord is faithful and just despite us.

Sorry to be so serious. I'll come back when I'm feeling more judgmental and can post something negative about someone who keeps falling down after they have just gotten up. ;)
