They even have wedding stories.:eek:

This is an excerpt:
I have remained on friendly terms with my ex-boyfriend "Steve" since we broke up about 12 years ago. (I got married 3 years ago; Steve came to our wedding and my husband had no problem with it.) Steve recently became engaged and will be getting married in 2 months. Last month, he called to tell me that his fiancée (who I have not met) had forbidden him to invite me to the wedding because I might "still have some influence over him". No problem. I disagree with her logic, but I'm not going to tell her who she should invite to her own wedding.

Well, last week I received an invitation to Steve and "Jean's" wedding. I was initially delighted, thinking that Jean had reconsidered, until I opened it and found that someone had marked a big black "X" across the invitation and written "You'd better not come" on the response card!

hey Sorors and greek friends, my sister and I have recently completed construction on our online paraphernalia site. WE cater to all greeks and many auxiliary organizations, the link is provided in my sig. A site that is of interest to me is:

Another Story from Etiquette Hell
 

Less than a year ago, my cousin "Rachel" decided to marry the guy she'd been living with for the last two and a half years. The wedding was a $40,000 extravaganza at a local castle,:eek: with nothing but the best. The bride's parents were asked to finance the entire event, even though they enjoy very modest means (he's a construction worker, and she's a bank teller). Graciously and lovingly, they agreed, and proceeded to take out a loan to cover most of the expense. Another note I must add is that my family (and therefore, Rachel's family) is of Portuguese descent, and so were the vast majority of the guests. Portuguese weddings are expected to be very lavish, with several courses of seafood, meats, and desserts and a completely open bar. Likewise, the guests know that nothing less than a generous gift is expected of them, preferably in cash. (It's just the unspoken custom in this culture). Therefore, my cousin and her new husband were treated to VERY expensive wedding gifts. For example, my parents gave her a $1,000 check.:eek: My gift to the bride and groom amounted to approximately $500. There were approximately 300 guests, so you can imagine how huge a booty they walked off with at the end of the evening.

This would all be fine and dandy, if they hadn't decided to get a divorce three days into their honeymoon.:o :eek: Nothing dramatic had happened, no fights, nothing. Just a "mutual decision" that they weren't ready for that sort of commitment yet" (mind you they had lived together for almost three years by then, and it should not have taken a $40,000 wedding to determine that they "weren't ready"). To make a long story short, instead of returning the gifts they received to the people who had so generously given them, they decided to keep them (even though their marriage officially lasted a grand total of only three days). What's worse, I recently found out from her own mother that they returned all the gifts and split the money in half. Furthermore, Rachel never made an offer to use that money to help her parents repay the huge loan they had taken out to finance her wedding... Also, neither my parents nor I have yet received a thank you note (although the so-called "wedding" took place almost a year ago) for the gifts we gave them --and a few other guests to whom I have spoken have not either. Apparently, since the marriage was a bust, they felt no need to acknowledge the gifts (or to return them, for that matter!). Needless to say, we are all outraged at their immeasurable and shameless greed.


Can you all tell that THIS is not a BLACK family!!?!?!?! If it were, whoooooo daddy!!

Steeltrap passed this website along to me where they review movies and SOME of the commentary is hiiiiilarious. I just read the one for Kingdom Come and the review was hilarious but not as funny as the one for Save the Last Dance which the reviewer calls Dirty Dancing N Da Hood.

Belly of the Beast Online
 

Sorors & Friends,

Please take a moment and check out Belly of the Beast Online (www.botbonline.com). The editor of the site is a friend of one of my chapter sorors, a graduate of Morehouse & Brown, and Omega man. (Did I give enough reasons for you to at least look?) The site covers current events and socially relevant issues in the form of an e-magazine/newsletter.

Duke is asking that visitors to the site be sure to sign the guest book and ask whomever you forward this on to to do the same. Additonally, if your chapter or other civic group would like some online publicity, or if you would like to submit an article, e-mail him. He's open to those submissions.

Thanks!

Question Sorors........
 

Sorors I need of your help. At the 2000 Convention in Chicago, there was a soror sellling Delta Sarongs, and Fortitude Sarongs. I bought the Delta Sarong, and wore it so many times that when I washed it for the umpteenth time it's pink :( Does anyone know the name of the Soror, or company that was selling the sarongs? I also want to buy the Fortitude sarong as well.

THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!

The elephants are across the top, hard to see but in person it is much more visible. This is really nice stationery. I use it a lot and when I saw the elephants I immediately thought of the amazing GC Deltas. It is on sale and would make a nice gift, or to send letters yourself.

I Love You Steeltrap!!!
 

I just visited alight.com and their clothing is just what I was looking for! I'm also looking for a little black dress for an event my chapter has coming up (and I was told that I had to dress grown and sexy--which is hard because I'm a tee-shirt and jeans girl every day and don't own many dresses). Well, I guess I had to do this sometime! Much to my happiness however, they had LOTS of cute jeans and stuh :D

The only thing that kind of sucks is that when they have an item that sells out or not in your size (I'm an 18, I ain't scurred to share), you're out of luck :(

Re: I Love You Steeltrap!!!
 

You are welcome. I haven't yet tried it, but I've seen their special occasion dresses and they look pretty good. :cool:

Hello folks!

My birthday is coming up next month (14th!) and I've pretty much told my boyfriend that he will be buying me an afghan. I keep hinting every chance I get. :-) Well I keep hearing about & running into the same online sites & the same afghans. Does anybody know where I could find new & fresh para & especially a site or a shop that has afghans that differ from the same two versions I keep seeing (founders & shield ones). My honey is pretty much cluless about these things so I need a way to accidentally e-mail him the link so he can be informed :D

Oh my dear Lord, I have only seen the front page. . .
