Wow. Tell me he was lip-synching. :rolleyes:

City-wide chapters ARE campus orgs, they just have more than one campus included in their charter.

I think you are demonstrating exactly what MeezDiscreet is talking about. Why does it have to be YOUR Greek Week on YOUR terms?! Why not a totally new activity that was created by and uses the cultural traditions of BOTH sets of orgs without bias from one or the other?

No, he isn't.


This is actually a very typical (socially unconcious) white person response. Congrats.

My chapter struggled through that. If a chapter has 5 members, the whole chapter is basically the Greek Week team. That doesn't allow any flexibility or anything.

My chapter had some close relations with a couple of other orgs on campus. Only because we made an effort to establish friendships with people who just so happened to be Tri Delts or Sigma Chis, etc. Then we were able to see if service and scholastic collaborations were possible or if we could hang out at social events.

If not for that, our experiences were just like you recalled.

No stepping involved
 

. . .I'd just like to get some involvement from D9 sororities with the NPC cervical cancer awareness program. But no luck. :(

It reads like he was talking about NPC and IFCers.

Whether or not a racist frat boy in Mississippi is "your people" is a matter of interpretation. If that racist frat boy met you in a setting where your Jewish identity and Ivy League membership weren't your primary statuses, since they probably aren't everywhere you go because they don't automatically stick out in many instances, there may be little disconnect between you and the Mississippi guy.

yeah, that is kinda wack. thats why i always check to see if teams are confirmed and which teams they are, cuz i'm tired of seeing the same old teams. like for instance...i can tell you the whole NYC Sigma, Kappa, Alpha Zeta, Delta teams routines b4 they even do their show. i've seen them that many times, and they do the same thing over again. And this is why i tend to lose interest in step shows, and my attention wanders during a show, and i cant wait to stroll during the breaks...

:) None of us are representatives for the D9 sororities that you're trying to work with. Go to them, as adults should know how to do, and figure it all out. If it doesn't work, oh well.

Good luck with your program.

I'm sorry, perhaps you could coach all of us on what we're supposed to say.

If you were sincere, I would.

duh, AlexMack, you're supposed to know already that because you're not black, you're racist just by living. If you don't spend all of your energies working against racism, then you're working for it.

For example, when the little old lady at my chuch that owns a rental property cut me a deal on rent, I should have said, "No Ms. Little Old Lady, you should give that deal to a black student you don't even know because the color of my skin is white and that means I'm priveleged and have had everything handed to me in life." I mean, obviously she gave me the deal on rent because I'm white and not because I'm an out of state student struggling to make it and I went to her Bible Study classes.

So DSTChaos of course would say that your response was typically white because your response included the sentiment "I am not a racist," which, if you're not black, is obviously not true.

I really hate to get involved in this thread, but I will cretainly think twice before I participate in this event on my campus ever again - who wants to be called pathetic for their attempts at Greek unity?

Seriously? :mad:

If you decide to not participate in an event because someone may think you look pathetic that shows how much you want to do it. PrettyBoy explained his point of view for anyone that wanted to read it. Whether or not you agree with him is on you.

That's quite an imagination you have there.

Well ignoring it perpetuates it.

But even social activists and researchers shouldn't spend all of their energies on something. You have to live.

:)

Then you should've shut up.

I changed my mind, this ain't my lane so I'm stepping out. Apologies if I offended you DSTChaos.

You didn't.
