When you come in throwing around language like idolatry, in a thread where neither that language nor those idea have been introduced (suggesting in a way that some here have raised their organization to that level), that's what it seems like.

But, okay, I will take your word for it.

Soror, ya'll are better than me...responding to these people. Ya'll know that they come in trying to drop bait to get a reaction. Why even respond? (Shrug) at these folk. I just look at 'em through my computer screen (lol) like "nice try, you almost got me" - then I keep it moving. Sometimes I even laugh like, "yeah, that was slick." "Idolatry." Hah! Yeah, you almost had me. Then you lolololololololololololol all over the place when you get called out. Yeah, bet. Ok, now i'm laughing out loud for real. Please excuse, it's been a looong day, :) I'm clowning.

My post is honestly how I feel. I understand that many (maybe even most) people here don't share my viewpoint, but since this is a public discussion board, I feel (and hope) I can contribute too - even if it is a minority viewpoint.

Have a safe trip.

However, I can't help it if someone's heart is pricked while/after reading my post. That wasn't my intent, but if it happens and ultimately someone is helped, I won't be angry.

Is there some rule about who can talk about, or introduce, what?

No hostility, I'm just letting you know that most people would see this as you suggesting that others are idolizing their orgs. Expressing YOUR feelings on the subject and suggesting this are not mutually exclusive. Everyone is only expressing her feelings.

Anyway, like Soror SKEEphistAKAte said...Ummm this little boy right here...will NOT be pledging any other fraternity. And that is the end of that! LOL. I would hope that my son chooses Alpha. I'd be super mad if he didn't and I would still pay. After all, he is my only baby.

I am the first greek in my family (second to attend college). My lil sister followed me into AKA. My cousin who is going the UMCP, this year already said she is. She cracks me up when she talks about going greek. Now my other cousin (her sister) who is going to Bowie this fall has decided that she is gonna be a Zeta. Color me floored. :confused: I asked her why all the while trying not to strangle her. I don't want to hurt my Sorors feelings as she did mine, so I won't repeat but what she said was not nice.:mad: I'm like where did you get those ideas? She says "look at you and Reds (her sister). If that's AKA, count me out". I tried to explain that there's more to AKA than what she's saying. She said she knows already about the service and all that stuff. It's "reputation" she can't get with. ooohhh, I wanted to strangle her then blast a loud skee wee in her ears. :p I asked her why Zeta, though (not hating)? Why not DST or another one? Her favorite teacher at school who 'understands' her is a Zeta.

So, there ya go. Their inspiration can come from anywhere. I guess we have to go where we fit in, right. Well, except my Alpha Jr. I WILL STRANGLE HIM IF HE COMES TO ME DOOR WITH SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
