Yeah, your response just made it seem like you thought I was in a black org. No big deal.

Yes--if you unaware of practices that are specific to BGLOs you are ignorant of them. That doesn't mean you HAVE to be aware of them. But if you are going to speak on something in a jestful or serious way, try to be informed or shut the hell up.

"Real questions" is based on perception. If they care so much, they can search the GC archives just like other people do when they have reoccuring questions.

We have. There are no answers for how this dancing ever involves anything their founders ideals. If you don't know, perhaps you are ignorant and should not be discussing in this thread.

You may have Brother Mac and me confused.
IIRC, Brother Mac never had 1856 in his username.

ufdale 12-10-2006 05:16 PM

Eh I still knew he was an SAE. I think he used to have it in his signature (not username, sorry), but even if he didn't I knew it because he's mentioned it before.

if you want to learn about them, then you can research them or even ask a member. but to imply that the sole purpose of BGLOs is to step and hop is proof positive of ignorance (i.e. lack of knowledge) and is actually insulting.

No, it wasn't.

DSTCHAOS 12-10-2006 08:55 PM

If people are asking about the origins of stepping and there aren't old threads on the topic, ASK ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF STEPPING or GOOGLE IT to find the hundreds of website links on the topic.

Quit with the insulting references to "founders' ideals" or whatever nonsense. You don't know anything about my Founders' ideals and BGLOs don't give a damn if we aren't in line with YOUR founders' ideals.

Unless your founders ideals are secret ritual, who are you to say that dancing is supose to have anything to do with the fraternity. In fact, here's the reason Delta Sigma Theta was founded as par their website:
Quote:

The Sorority was founded in 1913 by 22 students at Howard University. These young women wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence; to provide scholarships; to provide support to the underserved; educate and stimulate participation in the establishment of positive public policy; and to highlight issues and provide solutions for problems in their communities.
Sounds like dancing was important in their ideals and mission.

DSTCHAOS 12-10-2006 09:39 PM

Where are the "real questions?"

I don't think people read this the first time.

Elephant Walk, DSTChaos DOES NOT need you to tell her about Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the ideals and mission of the Sorority.

Elephant Walk 12-10-2006 10:53 PM

Apparently she doesn't know them, so I was just stating them.

FeeFee 12-10-2006 11:40 PM

Sorry bud, she doesn't need you to do any favors for her.

While I was active, we had at least two Brothers in the house that did not drink at all.

And I no longer do by choice.

Most do. I guess you and those two guys who didn't drink are geeks like PrettyBoy.

I asked a question a while back about predominantly white GLOs and I received an intelligent answer.

I'll be more than happy to try and answer any questions about predominantly BGLOs, if anyone is interested. Let's try and keep this thread positive since know one agreed to drop it. :)

When someone has genuine questions, they don't ask "what's this nonsense?" They've already dismissed it as "nonsense." So they and their after-the-fact "curiosity" can go to hell.

Like I said pages ago, if they want to know, they can search the info. Don't waste your time answering questions when NOTHING you type will ever be good enough. It will only spark a flame war, or whatever the hell people on GC call it. They've already started down that road.

It's me, ho!

Greek god of many things, but mostly known as the Greek god of wine (not the reason why I chose this name though).

DSTCHAOS 12-11-2006 12:15 PM

LOL!!! And the plot thickens. Or not. :)

(I realize it was a joke. Just a very bad one. If it weren't a joke, it could be misconstrued as sexual harrassment.)

You're stupid in every way!

Elephant Walk 12-11-2006 12:45 PM

I'll say the same thing which I have every time when called that.

How?

And now, if you are a normal Greekchatter, you will leave this thread alone and walk away. Thanks, bye.

I was actually a member here first. Been here for years. I choose to limit my comments, because I learned years ago some people aren't worth educating.

I'll assume you're speaking to me and doesn't know how to use the quote function, but read commnet above.

Yeah okay, that make sense. Why would I need the quote function when I'm posting directly under you?

Anyhow, you backed away, just like a normal GreekChatter. Making ad hominem attacks on posters and then backing away is traditional GC.

Hey ShamikaT, this is a perfect example of what I was talking about.

And EW, I'm not backing away I just think you are an idiot and your post are indicative of an idiot and I choose to keep my responses to a bear minimum. BTW, I read the questioned you posted in the APA thread and it further reaffirmed you are an idiot.

Note: This will be my last post to you, as indicated earlier I'm just better than you and find no need to waste my time.

Elephant Walk 12-11-2006 02:44 PM

No, it is backing away, and you look like a fool yet again.

Many times others are replying at the same time and by the time you hit submit there is a post or two in between.
*this is my attempt to be serious about answering a question*
