When I get the "buying your friends" question my response if I like the person is:

Remember when you were a kid and your family had you in Sports, Dance, The Band, Day Care, etc... Or how about when you moved into the new neighborhood. Well guess what all of those things cost money as well. So every friend that you ever made were paid for in some form or another. The Sports line usually takes guys by surprise and i have actually used it on quite a few rush guests.

SO true!

My Response:
"You mean even though you turned 18 ten years ago you still associate with your family? Don't you get kicked out when you turn 18?"

Their response:
"That's different it's family."

My Response:
"So is my Fraternty!"

Hahaha. I would have said that too.

My response:
"What made you join that?"

Statements:
"I bet ya'll just bake cookies and what not."

"Yep, the cookies are damn good too!"

I try to ban stupid questions from my memory bank--maybe I'll think of some later.

Some of the questions listed aren't stupid questions. They are naive and perhaps silly questions. The degree of stupidity for me usually depends on the age of the person and whether the person was REALLY serious about what they asked.

But I do believe in stupid questions just as I believe in the stupid people whose brains generate them.

How do you pledge?

What did you have to do?

How many times did you get hit?

Why didn't pledge something else?

How many girls did you get?

What should I do if I join XYZ frat and they hit me (how the f*ck should I know??????)

Who do you know that's famous?


Can you show me your handsign/grip?

"How do I sign up for your frat?"
"Were you stripped down in front of everyone like in the movies?"
"How bad were you hazed?"
"What does 'E' N stand for?"
"Because your house is right next to Papa John's, do you get tired of pizza?"

I usually get more annoyed by people who think they know about Greek life but really don't.

I've had several people ask me "What organization is that?" when I'm wearing letters. When I tell them "Omega Delta Phi," they'll yell out "Que dog! Woof Woof!" or something to that effect. When I try to correct them, they'll tell me I'm wrong :rolleyes:

Thankfully, I've learned to deal with most of the questions/statements brought up above:
"Step for me!"
"What are your secrets??"
"How do I join ABC/XYZ Sorority?" (Why not ask them??? :confused:)
etc, etc

This guy I went to school with asked me how to be a Kappa! I wasn't even an Alpha yet!

I guess APO really was like the Switzerland of Greek life at my school.

"Oh, you can be that age and still be in a sorority?" I laughed at this one.

"What does all of that on your jacket mean?"
I usually reply to people I know "If I tell you I have to flogg you then burn you at the stake" if I dont know them, some standard answer "Everything has a special meaning and is not public information. I can't tell you."

I've had grown men, after learning Im in a sorority, tell me that they have always wanted to be a XYZ fraternity member and then proceed to do a really bad impression of said org's call.:eek: WTHayle?

I just remembered, I was wearing my Ninjapoodle jacket and a security guard @ my school told me he was a Mason then proceeded to step. Right there in the lobby of the building. I was like "ummm.. yeah dog. I gotta get to class. Later""

i've heard the whole buying your friends thing before.

my question is, if i'm paying for my friends in the sorority, that means everyone else in the sorority is paying to be friends with me. so where is my pay check?

It goes to your national headquarters' friendship fund.

OKAY!?!?

MaggieXi 10-16-2007 06:39 PM

"Did you get hit with one of those paddle things? Did it leave a mark?"
"Did you get hazed?"
"What is that weird looking letter? I've never seen it before, did you make it up?" (reffering to the Xi)
"What was your groups stereo type?"

UGH, I hate them all!
