Boy: I walked out of the math building today to a hundred sorority girls clapping and cheering for no apparent reason, so I decided they were cheering for me finishing my calc test. I raped it by the way.
Boy: ooops. I mean the test, not the sorority girls.



hahahahaha. I love the status search capability.

LucyKKG 09-16-2010 12:44 AM

Here's a cute one:
"Recruitment finally done.......really happy with the new guys we have.........I can honestly say that i've done the best I can to make Sigma Nu what it is and what it will be. I love my fraternity and I love my brothers. Thanks for all the support. Now its time to have some fun. "

I LOVE THIS.
I never even knew this was possible until this post :D

VandalSquirrel 09-16-2010 02:03 AM

I used your status tip and no lie, I found something I could trace back to GC. I'm getting all Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher up in this piece, but it relates back to an alleged troll, and one of Senusret I's favorite things, a race war.

Someone else is helping that thread rise again.

:eek: I searched Alpha Gamma Delta just out of curiosity, and found "alpha gamma delta or alpha omicron pi?", complete with comments on which org to join. While it isn't too radical, it still blows my mind that someone would even put that out there. You never know who will see it:rolleyes:

JennRN 09-16-2010 10:28 AM

I love this one (obvs posted by a mom):

She's a DELTA GAMMA!!! Sister or daughter now?

I actually looked through archive materials at IHQ and found the term "sister-mother" in things from 1904.

It's been an ongoing battle for years to get people to use the right terms, but I think the powers that be have finally decided to quit sweating the small stuff. Volunteers are expected to use correct terminology, but we aren't to get in a hissy if it's not used.

My chapter has in general been pretty good about using the correct terms, but hearing "big/little" drove me crazy as an active.

Ditto. Plus as having a sister-mother implies that you're a child. In my chapter it only lasts up to initiation anyways and no one obsessively brings it up.

I still call my sis-daughters (the ones that are still members) daughter and they call me mom...but I wouldn't say it's obsessive. Most "families" in the chapter make a pretty big deal of joining the family...I have two great-granddaughters (possibly a great-great, but I haven't heard yet) and two granddaughters and we take family pictures at events.

I know I saw "pledge mom" and "pledge daughter" in our magazines way back in the day at I think one of our chapters. I'm not sure though if that was actual bigs and littles or if it was the temporary sponsor you got on bid day.

ColdInCanada11 09-16-2010 02:55 PM

Yep, instead of big sisters/key sisters/diamond sisters/whatever variation, you have a sister-mother and a sister-daughter. I have never heard of pledge-mom/sister used in an Alpha Gam context.

honeychile 09-16-2010 03:25 PM

Pledge Mom or Pledge Mother was very much in use on my campus until our whole venacular changed - but I've never heard of the term "Pledge Daughter".

AOIIBuckeye 09-16-2010 03:32 PM

When I pledged, we occasionally referred to our New Member Educator as the "Pledge Mom", but that particular usage seems to have stopped between my freshman and my senior year.

We definitely did (and still do!) use the terms Big and Little Sis, along with "G-big" (grandbig), "G-Little", "G-G-Little", and the like. Since our chapter is still relatively new (<20 years old), we all put a lot of emphasis on family linneage going back to our charter members and most of the new members get adorably decorated family trees as part of their initiation gifts.

FleurGirl 09-16-2010 05:05 PM

Oh the immense joys and laughs brought by twitter!

Sorority recruitment last nightt, I need to get into either delta gamma or kappa kappa gamma, lovee the girls there

sorority recruitment haha forced time commitments blow

A break during recruitment week. I'm holding out for the one sorority I like that hasn't cut me based on my career yet.

sorority recruitment begins tonight... going in with an open mind is hard when you already have 2 top houses out of only 4... haha

(Not exactly recruitment, but hilarious): So many crazy bitches wearing sorority recruitment tshirts on campus. Vom.

Sorority rush just ended. Home-run derby just began. TFM.

Yep, endless amusement. :D

ErinBee 09-16-2010 05:50 PM

Side comment: I was always a little jealous of the chapters that can do the whole "baby" thing. What would Alpha Chi's be? Baby Lyres? That sound ridiculous.

Lil' Lyres?

KD4Me 09-16-2010 11:23 PM

PNM: After the Kappa Delta pool party and the Zeta Pink party, I am really excited for Rush week to start!
FRIEND: Remember that you are choosing THEM...

KD4Me 09-16-2010 11:25 PM

Kappa Delta put up one h*** of a fight this afternoon! Thanks for a great afternoon! I can't wait til Watermelon Fest next year!

Ok, I don't know if that's about recruitment or not. But it's too good not to post.

KD4Me 09-16-2010 11:31 PM

Also, it is so heartwarming to read the updates by new members who are so excited to have received bids to KD. And also the updates by current members who are so excited about recruitment and their sorority/chapter.

But what's up with the guys listing the greek alphabet as their status updates? Odd.

ComradesTrue 09-17-2010 12:04 AM

Venturing out of my lane, but I couldn't resist the smugness with this one:

"I Am Going To Be A Delta Sigma Theta & No One Can Stop Me"

No one? Really? Not even the members of the organization?

/mad dash back to my own lane with apologies

Thanks for this! I had fun checking this out last night

AZTheta 09-17-2010 10:30 AM

OK, so I just did a search and this was the first post that came up: not exactly what I was expecting, I must say.


"public speaking teacher told us today that last year tailgating he got drunk and got in a biking accident, had a sorority rush to his aid, and ended up with a free vodka on the rocks from the ladies... This guy knows how to get shit done"

I think I'll let everyone else do the searching.

DIBS if she goes through recruitment at my school.

We have records from back in our first decade, when the Mystic Cat prowled through our lore, of new members being called "kittens."

Ha, sadly I think that was a guy lamenting about the sorority invasion.

Benzgirl 09-17-2010 05:45 PM

OP:
It's bid day, its bid day! Oh my its bid day! D-B-Chi til the day I die.

Friend: GOOD LUCK DUCKIES!!!! Pledges, we hope you join us!!

Maybe she didn't call them baby duckies, but couldn't you at least call them Ducklings?



So, this one already received her bid...
"got big/little pi phi party 2nite!! i gotta pref m fave bigs 2nite. im so bad w/ names!!! IDK if i can do it!! =( but i so excited!! can't wait tho!!"




And finally, my favorite today:

"on this Wonderful Bid Day I hope that Jesus gives me a bid into his exclusive fraternity.... I wonder how much his dues are?"

AOEforme 09-18-2010 02:13 PM

I love this:

A few different guys have this as their status: "I support Kappa Alpha Order, Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha Gamma Rho, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Sigma Chi. Lets finish Recruitment Week 2010 strong."

"So much estrogen in the quad right now god bless sorority recruitment."

A new sister :) "Done with recruitment!!! ALPHA OMEGA EPSILON!!! I'm so pumped."

And this gem :"i either wanted DG or chi o but i didn't even get called back to either for pref night ha so it didn't really matter"

IrishLake 09-18-2010 02:34 PM

Damn, I wish I still had friends still in college, I want to read!

If you search something like "sorority recruitment" or "sorority rush" or "XYZ" and click "posts by everyone" you'll get access to everyone's public status updates with those words. ;)

BraveMaroon 09-18-2010 09:06 PM

Found this one a few minutes ago:


Her: Alpha Gamma Delta or Sigma Kappa?


Her friend: Hhhmmmm how come when white ppl do it it's called a sorority but when mexicans do it it's called a gang????? Lol

Alumiyum 09-18-2010 09:38 PM

Dude: thinks there is no better employment of suicide terrorists than exploding in the crowd of sorority girls screaming outside my dorm >:[

I think she's a reporter for her school newspaper...I saw that one too and clicked on her name to see if she had it up there, and it said reporter.

FleurGirl 09-18-2010 10:39 PM

Even more, because these things make me laugh and I enjoy reading them. :o

i Wonder Whudd Alpha Phi (White Gurls Sorority) Lett Mee Rush.
I wonder what your GPA's like with that grammar... :rolleyes:

So I Dropped From Sorority Rush After Getting What I Wanted. Came To The Conclusion That: I Don&apos;t Need Greek Letters To Define ME; AMY. <3
The letters don't define you -- you define your letters.

should i party tonight or rush for a sorority?
These are the tough decisions you have to make in college. Save yourself the thought, go to the party. :D

papayafruit 09-19-2010 01:28 AM

Here are some I found:

"you'd think after rush being over for a month now...id stop singing sorority songs in my head..."

"Sorority RUSH Week! My cheeks are starting to hurt from all this smiling! :D"

this is cute. "Can't sleep. Super excited for tomorrow :)! aaahhhh! & I can't wait to find out what sorority my rho gamma is in! Rush week has been emotionally straining but it's made everything so bearable I couldn't be happier with my decision."

UNLVBunny 09-19-2010 02:22 PM

I found this one amusing:

"Uggggg......sorority girls you need to stop running around and waking me up."
His friend's reply: "Ugggggg (name) you should suck it up and try to meet these girls."

It's some sort of unwritten law that if you complain about/correct someone's grammar/spelling, you will make a mistake yourself.

Your PUBLIC blog, that is linked to both your PUBLIC Twitter and PUBLIC FB page is not magically invisible.

So, when you post things like "FCUK XY for cutting me. I'm soooo over all the other chapters I have left" don't be surprised if your remaining chapters see it and decide to get over you the next round.

OMG this is funny because I was on Tumblr two days ago and I just decided to search "zeta tau alpha" and some posts came up... one was, like, trashing ZTA and other ones said stuff like, "XYZ is my favorite house. ABC is my second choice and I don't like DEF so much" and then a later post by that same person said that they had accepted a bid from DEF and they were kinda doubtful about the house... Don't you think maybe a sister will see that?
