I hate most GDI guys with a passion.

:eek: Elitest snob!

Hon, he's just trying to be controversial. He's probably a 500lb man named Bubba with an extreme case of KEYBOARD COURAGE.;)

Unfortunately, he'll probably take that as a compliment.

I hate anybody named PhiGam with a passion. How soon until he gets banned?

I could be wrong but my guess is that most GDI's hate you right back with a passion :rolleyes:

We sure don't like it when new trash talkers come here. It puts the old ones out of commission. :D

I know GDIs who whore 'nalia. In some instances the person didn't get cursed out or physically harmed. They just ended up joining another organization because the organization whose symbols were worn didn't want them. :)

When those my mother is... t-shirts first came out they were in baby to adolescent sizes and said mommy. Then the vendors started making them in teen sizes with mother on them. I have heard of a few instances (fortunately not recently)where college freshman thought they would be cute to wear. :eek: Needless to say...

That is awful!!! There was a girl in my dorm freshman year that had one. Also there was a girl (college aged) a couple of months ago that had one of those string backpacks that said 'Future AKA'. I almost flipped, but she was with a woman who had on an AKA hat whom I guess was related. I just walked away, because I didn't know what to say.

:eek: How in the world would her relative NOT tell her that it was NOT cool to do that??? If my little sister started wearing "Future AST" shirts, I'd flip.

I love you, tiny!!! :D

That was so brutal!!!

One day at work the kids were going to thier lockers to put up their jackets ect. This one boy had a sweatshirt that said Alpha Omicron Pi really big on the front. He was in the 5th or 6th grade. I asked him were he got it. He told me his mom bought it for him. I simply told him that it was a Sorority sweatshirt. He looked at me really weird and said, "Kinda like you're an AKA," I said yes. He said I am never wearing this again. I don't wanna be in girl stuff.

because usually that relative is just a 'nalia wearing member herself.

So wait. Do you mean that there are people who spend their entire lives pretending to be a member of a GLO that they're not part of??


This is blowing my mind right now. I need a minute.

No, I mean the relatives have not been active with the org since college and all they do now is wear 'nalia. Remember our alumnae(i) chapters are just as prominent as our collegiate chapters and hold a certain "status" in our communities.

But on the other hand there are folx like what you described. Some have been caught, but I bet there are still some out there getting away with it.

LG, I didn't about it like that. It had to be a reason that a MEMBER would think it is ok for an ADULT to wear future anything stuff.....especially in public.:eek:

I agree with LG.

Unfortunately the woman I know who allowed her daughter to wear 'nalia (socks, jewelry, etc.) was very active in the graduate chapter.

Maybe a form of flattery!

Funny, a kid wearing an AOP shirt and not knowing whatr the heck it was!:cool:

If I see someone wearning any letters, I ask where they are from and when the go Dah, I ask why do you wear them?

No answer of course!!!!!:eek:

i cannot stand that - greeks who think its OK for their children to wear letters/do the call/sign but will hem up the first non-greek who does the same. im sorry, birthright is not legit to me.

p.s. am i the only person who uses non-greek? i know that the term is GDI but no one in the greek circles i run in use it - theyre either "non greek" or not greek.

in a related story, i was working the door at a party (nongreek) and these guys come up like, hey we hear greeks get discounts into all the hot parties... were DPhiE's... come on!

you shouldve seen the look on their faces when i informed them that those are SORORITY letters. they exited stage left real quick.

I use nongreek unless I'm typing on GC.

We had this girl at in our film program and in general she was pretty mean to anyone who was in a sorority. It always seemed like she had a chip on her shoulder against greek life. She knew that sorority women didn't wear letters to the bar or anything like that and she apparently got a set from thrift store. She shows up wearing the letters, drunk and is like "look I'm a sorority girl and I am sooo drunk and I am wearing letters and might get in trouble!!!". All the sorority women at the bar thought it was kind of funny to watch her make such a spectacle of herself while unbeknowst to her she was wearing fraternity letters that weren't even on our campus.

Both of those things about guys in a "sorority" and visa versa are hilarious! Wow. Lame!

Actually, DPhiE is also the first and only national professional foreign service fraternity and sorority (whatever that means) founded at Georgetown University in 1920. My cousin is a DPhiE and she gets irritated when she sees people other than sisters wear those letters, too, though.

I don't think I'm better than anyone else, but I am better than some poser wearing greek letters when they aren't in a fraternity.

I'd probably have to break some rules first.
I'm actually a little surprised that a southern girl in a good sorority would be offended with that, most top tier girls I know would agree with that statement.
P.S. Note I said "most" GDIs, there are exceptions.

"Hate" is a very strong word. If I took this statement and looked at the men around me, I would need to isolate myself. Think about your friends and relatives and if you "hate most" of them?

I don't hate anyone, but there are people who annoy me (case in point...you). I'm sure you will use better judgment as you grow up.

I dont see anything wrong with those shirts when they are being worn by babies and toddlers. Anything past that though,ESPECIALLY in the teen years is not cute and are lame.

This was your statement --v
Which is very different from the situation you're rationalizing here --v
Your posts scream to the contrary.

Yeah, I should have said I don't think I'm better than EVERYONE else.

Has it never occurred to you that if you're such an amazing, wonderful, SUPERIOR person then surely people should be impressed with you and like you, yet for some reason they don't?

Perhaps you should ask yourself why.

Most people on here don't like me... I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Believe it or not, where I'm from just about everyone likes me.

Wow. Congrats. You win at teh lifez.

I could easily say something back, but that would be violating the TOS and I don't want to get banned.
Am I the only person on this board that doesn't personally attack fellow posters?

Honestly, I don't believe it.

Why not? You contribute nothing but bile. Why even stay around?

No, you don't just make broad, sweeping attacks that insult many people at once. :rolleyes:

Oh Noez....not TEH BANNED!!!

Yes, most of us derive our entertainment by being snarky. If you take it seriously, then I don't know what to tell you.

I've heard this before from a woman that I use to work with. Turned out, no one but her husband and kids liked her.

Well Fratty, when is your pride going to catch up with you. You are being beaten up by a bunch of women. Oh, wait a minute. You have no pride.

Fascinating anecdote.
How can one be "pretentious" and have no pride? Pick one and stick to it.
I have pride in being American
I have pride in being southern
I have pride in my fraternity
I have pride in my school
I have pride in myself
Seriously, stick to the pretentious thing, it was kind of working.

LOL. What?

Let's go back to discussing "embarrsing" adults who wear "future XYZ" shirts.
