C'mon now, you can't really get us greeks to believe that the members of KKY have party hops and step. Did you see the picture above?:eek:

Insults. Now there's a great way to sound intelligent and get your point across.

I bet you screamed that at your monitor while you typed it. "YEA, I SAID IT!!!" LOL Gone 'head girl! Tell 'em why you mad!!!


No need to scream, but its a true statement...

Its amazing how far folks will go to fit in. EVERYBODY wants to have a step show and line jackets and calls and handsigns like the D9, but not everyone wants to do the work that being in a D9 org requires.

Soul D-Psi-ple 09-19-2006 04:23 PM

There was no need to post something intelligent since intelligence wasn't expressed towards me. :)

You said that like 8 posts back. Say something different.

It's very true. I remember as a freshman, the IFC/NPC's on my campus had rather generic sweatshirts. Maybe their letters and chapter designation in whatever color they chose. As soon as My line crossed we rocked the coldest hoodies ever. That following fall, it seemed like every NPC/IFC chapter bought new hoodies with their specific colors and pledge class info in the same spots as our sweatshirts had. They didn't go as far as party hopping or calling (I don't think), but it was just obvious. They wanted to look cool.

I don't take it too seriously though. I'd love to picture my jewels calling on the yard at Cornell, strolling, and just being out in the coldest line jackets ever. Unfortunately, the founders of my fraternity didn't stroll, would wonder what a hoodie was, and didn't have chant-offs with anybody. The founders of most fraternities and sororities (Those founded before 1940 most likely) didn't show off that kind of stuff. Maybe in private, but, there were more important things to worry about at the time. Way more important things.

Hmmm....an intelligent post.

What do I do? Well, while I was pursuing membership in my beloved sorority, I was working 2 part-time jobs, taking 16 credits in chemistry, doing academic research, was a regional officer for another organization, and a chapter officer for Alpha Chi Sigma (that's the professional chemistry fraternity if you aren't aware). As a part of several organizations I was putting on programs and doing community service.

Now that I am a member, I've done lots of the community as a part of 2 chapters. As a undergrad I've organized a bone marrow donor drive, organized programs on safe sex and time management, and tutored twice a month at a local elementary school. As a grad chapter member I've worked with our debutante ball, attended March of Dimes and AIDS walks, organized programming for our Wee Savers programs and contributed time and money to Operation Big Book Bag. And that doesn't even include everything that I've done with my chapter, and I did it as a full time PhD student.

Now, what have YOU done? Does your org even have a service requirement?

Yet we can still be entertained by it all and post about it. ;)

But I took that to mean he was a KKPsi and a Que. The same with the brother on the left throwing up the one middle finger. I thought he was also an Iota.

I thought they were either copying or that they had dual membership.

I guess both the imitation hook and middle finger are derivatives of the "Psi." :)

My mind can't wrap itself around that concept. I don't think I would throw up my Sigma handsign with another organization at anytime. I know there are members with dual (and triple) org memberships, but I just don't recall seeing or hearing of repping both orgs in a picture for one org. Maybe I'm learning again. :confused:

This is not a war zone. If you have something negative to say, take it elsewhere.

*If you find pictures showing Greeks in a positive light, please feel free to post more than one pic of your organization.

NOTE:

Like many of you, I've run across some pictures of handsigns that resembled those of other organizations.

It has been said that there are only so many ways you can twist up a hand, so let's not get offended.

All of you forgot the rules of this thread!

No. :( It's just that I don't necessarily like it when someone starts a thread asking for it not to turn into a war zone over how similar a hand sign might be and that's exactly what it finally becomes. It turns into a pissing match over who's smarter or more greek or whatever. I hoped that by quoting the original post that people would just let it drop. I should have known better though. As long as all of ya'll are enjoying yourselves, have at it. :)

What would be a situation where you would you do both, if you don't mind my asking?

Ok- I am sooo past this argument in general, but the above made me LMAO!

In other news: this is a cool thread. It's interesting to see all these pics.

That appears to be TWO orgs being repped on ONE hand/arm.... :confused: Of course, we've been taught otherwise about that left arm by Soul D-Psi-ple. :rolleyes:

I have to correct myself on an earlier post. I once saw a picture of a D9 sorority member throwing her sorority handsign with one hand and doing a sweetheart (auxilary) handsign with the other. That was the lamest sorority picture...ever.

I don't. I'm not trying to generalize, but at my school the marching band was full of d-bags. They were more arrogant and elitist than the snottiest atheletes or greeks anywhere, and were usually uglier than deformed rats. There might have been some cool people, but for the most part, the ones who said anything, had this sense of entitlement like they ran the school. There were some cool Tau Beta Sigmas around, but they were cool because they didn't shove their status all in my face. I can't speak for other band members at other schools so try not to take too much offense. I know it lacks relevance but everyone needs an impolite post every now and then.

Well, I probably went to highschool with some of those "d-bags" unfortunately. I know what you're talking about though.
