One stereotype I've heard a lot is by joining an organization means you are "paying for friends." As a PNM, that always bugs me.

That line irritates me to no end. So apparently if you are hanging out with non greek friends you never spend a cent. Any kind of clsoe relationship will have finacial obligations.

Or just about any club you join.

Oh I've got one.....and they actually did do this and an administration did say this to me personally about a month ago!

The university did NOT do a feasibility study before planning, designing, and getting the board of regents approval to build Greek housing....WHY?!?!?!?

Because they think we're all RICH!

I love how Greeks get to pay for new dorm and cafeteria with our parlor fees (ask how I feel about this).

Its always fun when you have people who think they know what youve done through out your pledge process. Some of the things i hear are ridiculous.

Listen everyone... StOp MaKiNg FuN oF mE!!! I DID pay for my freinds. I had already met ppl and made some freinds when I started college, but I wanted more+++!!!!!!! I figured, why not fork out 100s of $$$ a semester for more ppl to like me!?!? It just made good cents!!!!

Drinking is my hobby. I live for it. If I'm not on the floor nearly passsssed out, I haven't had enough to drink!

I sleep w/ guys like it's my jobb. Dont ask for there names tho cuz I could prob only tell u 1/2 of them and thats just embarrrrrasssssing!!!

& hazing... don even get me started!!!!

My GPA was so low when I graduated, I don even know how I got my diploma! I walked across the stage an I saw every1 staring, wondering "Why is she even here?!?!"

Actually, the only reason I prob got it is cuz my daddy is so rich, Im sure he paid off the skool. After he brung me that pony when I was 6, I new I was set 4 life.

The scary thing is I have met people like that that are GDI's. Though they might be greek by now, which would be a real shame.

I hate the don't call a fraternity a frat thing. I call my frat a frat, and I don't abbreviate the word country because it's 2 syllables long. Whoever made up that saying is a puss.

But mine is a heart and that's way better than what some museum people say!

LOVE IT

We had a rush shirt that said "If you're gonna pay for your friends, you might as well pay for the cool ones."

A couple stereotypes, aside the ones already names:

That were a bunch of girly girls who just party plan and schmooze (actually most of my chapter are self-described "not the sorority types")

And conversely, were a bunch of manly-types who beat pledges up and such. I mean I look tough but I wouldn't bust a grape in a food fight.
