Boy is a white racist word! Don't call me dat isht again!

Stop taking Iotamantobe as real. He's just someone playing around. Either a current GC poster or a lurker.

hey one thing I know is that they call their drink "centaur piss"......:confused:

problem solved.

"Do you make your pledges do your laundry"
"I think I know one of your pledges, is it so and so??? Oh why won't you tell me if I think I already know? I think its my roomate"

this actually reminds me of a question I absolutely get annoyed at.

how many girls do you have on line? I heard its #, is it true?

yeah, like I'm going to tell you! Speculate all you want, but you won't know for sure until the coming out show...

I think its a current regular poster and I have my idea as to who...;)


the phrases and wordings is new, yet familiar.....

I hate it when anyone says the word cult. My dad has jokingly said it twice even though he's completely supportive of me and Kappa. It still irks me, though!

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I hate it when people ask, "So, what do you DO?" Um...we do lots of things...what do you do? I dunno, it's just such a broad question.

Random dude: So how bad did they haze you
Me: My chapter dosn't haze
Random: Bro, you can tell me. I'm not a suit. I'm not gonna get you in trouble or nothin
Me: Well, ok then, I guess I'll tell you. We....Don't....Haze
Random: Whatever bro, I was just tryin to make conversation



Alright "bro". Now leave me alone. You smell bad and you scare me.

Or why DIDNT you join a black fraternity?

This didn't annoy me but made me laugh and go "Duh!"!!;)

After dating/being married to her son for years, my mom in law and I were in a bookstore so I could pick up some Alpha Gam stuff. She sees all the squirrels and knows that I've been collecting them for years (she's even given me some).

"So, are squirrels your mascot"?

No, but they're easier to find than chipmunks.;)

Just kidding!!

Mom: Thats a screwed up looking E.
Me: Mom, its a Sigma
Mom: Huh?
Me: Mom its a Greek Letter
Mom: Why do yall use Greek Letters
Me: Cause they look cool.

People walk up to me while I have a shirt on or something.
So youre a frat boy?
No.
Oh cause I mean your wearing a fraternity shirt.
Oh yeah thats right, I am in a fraternity.
Which one?
Um lets see my shirt says Kappa Simga, maybe thats it? nah im just playing im a *insert whichever fraternity im feeling at the moment*
Oh ok

Then there is the interesting ones when i wear a sorority semi formal shirt or something.
I thought *such and such* was a sorority, like for girls?
It is.
I thought they didnt let guys in?
The dont.
Youre wearing their shirt.
Yes I am.
Why?


I could go on but Ill stop there.

A lot of people can't read Greek letters and I don't think I could before I started seeing fraternity and sorority stuff when I was in high school. I assume your shirt spelled out Kappa Sigma, so those people have no excuse.

As for the sorority formal shirts, it took me posting on GC to figure out why GLOs made event shirts for nonmembers to wear--regardless of whether there were Greek letters or the organization was spelled out. :) It was very rare for BGLOs to make event shirts for nonmembers to wear. I didn't even notice a lot of the nonBGLOs wearing event shirts when I was on college campuses. When I did, I probably assumed they were just borrowing their boyfriend/girlfriend's shirt--which I thought was a silly thing to do.

I agree with you on the formal shirts 100%. If you are not in that GLO, you should not wear their letters. Why would someone just give away their letters like that?

"Where" their letters?
To clarify, event shirts usually have (in addition to the name of the formal/event) either the sorority's letters -so any man wearing it would clearly not be a member, but a guest ( and ditto for a fraternity formal/event shirt - any woman wearing it would obviously be a guest)or in the case of a mixer, the fraternity and sorority letters - a woman wearing them would be a sorority member, a man wearing them would be in the fraternity. So there is no "giving" of letters, per se, when a guest WEARS the letters on an event shirt.

For posterity.

I guess not everyone is you are they?

As far as people not knowing Greek letters, why should they unless they are interested in Greeks?

Oh, I forgot, some of them are in college and do see them around and know who they are but not what they stand for.

For those that never went to college I can understand their ignorance.

I personally like it when girls wear our shirts around campus. It makes the the entire Greek system better when people know you are there, and it is a great rush tool when guys see a good looking girl wearing your letters. As far as guys wearing sorority letters, I mean it's pretty obvious that its a sorority shirt when the theme was "A PINK CHRISTMAS".

Kappa Sigma just recently established a chapter on my campus, and they're using girls as PR by giving them "I [heart] KS" shirts to wear.

"your in a fraternity!?!?" "why?"

why not lol

.

If you were me, you wouldn't be dumb.

I had to make a quick trip to this department store and was wearing an AKA t-shirt. An older woman who was in line purchasing some items spotted me and called out, 'Soror!' so I smiled and went over to say hello. A guy standing behind her said to me, 'Soror...now that is a unique name. Where did your parents come up with it?'

Awww...simple. LOL!

Haha that's really funny. It's kind of cute...but still something to roll your eyes at!

Sorry bout the typo. But yes, other people who are greek know that when a male is wearing a shirt with a sororities letters that it is probably an event or mixer. Other people in the community don't know that though. But that is not my point. 'I' feel it IS giving away my letters no matter how you word it. When we do our big philanthropy, mixer, or any events we don't put our letters on the shirt, we spell out the letters. To some people that might not be a big difference but it is. Same way that a pledge can not wear the letters or any other symbols of the Fraternity except for their pledge pin or shield. And I know that my chapter is not the only GLO that does that, so why do you let members of another GLO wear your fraternity symbols or letters if not even your pledges can't?

I guess I shouldn't post pictures of my Sigma Chi event shirts. . . :rolleyes:

I've got no problem with whatever your chapter chooses to do - I totally respect your right to do as you wish regarding your letters. I am a big fan of traditions and upholding them. I do think you can do it without being critical of those who chose to do things differently.
Our new members wear our letters from day one - it is the crest and the badge which are reserved for initiated members, which I think makes them that much more special. But to each his own - GLOs are great because they differ in all kinds of interesting ways.

"Where letters"
"Choses to do"
"Sororities letters"

Happens to the best of us....:)

The "where/wear" thing threw me because of the topic - Where do you wear your letters? - but no worries - it's all good now. :)
eta - Spell Check is great, but if you type something which is indeed a word, albeit the wrong one, it won't help!

I have shirts from my husband's fraternity, with the letters spelled out, that I wear around the house and such. They're good shirts :) I think it kind of hurts the brothers' feelings, though, when I turn down the lettered event shirts. I wish they'd just take a hint already and stop trying to give them to me :rolleyes: I know I'm ALLOWED to wear to their letters, but I do not WANT to ...

lol:D

WOOOOW. I think I am sad now, too.:(

Lol--Where do you go to school? Our Sigma Nu house is right next to Papa John's.

*hint* natural state--Go Bears!

Why did my one friend get a bid from you guys but the other didnt? Since my one friend is one of you guys does that make me a legacy and I automatically get in?

folks asking me about another org's requirement process

"Can you put in a good for me since you talk to them regularly, my name is _______ and I've been wanting to be a member of XYZ since I was a child (insert childhood story), I meet all the requirements, but I don't know if they like me, plus my aunt is an XYZ so I think I know somewhat what to expect"

Urm...I'm not a member of that org, why do you think they'll take my word for it? Why are you telling me, yeah I talk to XYZ but I don't bring up their or my business..*SMH*

I think the above story is more titillating when you let us know that XYZ is really an org that rhymes with Lelta Ligma Leta.

Someone asked me....

"Are you in a sorority?"

I decided to not be snarky that day and explained the difference....


"Whatever they still the same thing...are you in one or not 'cuz I wanna join."





.....yeeeeeaahhhh



OK...and not calling anyone out....Senusret...I told you this one...hehehehehe

How about I went to a party for the coming out of some XYZ sisters.

$5 for Gen Public

$2 for Greeks in 'nalia

I went with 2 of my homeboys, Omega Psi Phi bruhs....

(no they weren't Deltas BTW....hehehe ...don't infer from the Omega reference!)

we got to the door...they paid and went in...

The young lady (neo soror) charged me $5

"But it says $2 for Greeks"

long slow stare as I see her trying to translate my letters

" I didn't know the Ques changed thier colors "

"They didn't."

"But aren't you a Que?"

"No."

"Then what are you?"

My Omega friends and I are cracking up at this point...but I am still no closer to getting in....heh.

"Read my Jacket"

"Phi....wait...he's not a Sigma because that's an "O" ...Omega?... Patti (I have to change the names to protect the innocent and I don't remember them anyways but you know where this is going....) What letter is O in the alphabet?

" Huh? O is O!"

"No in the Greek alphabet?"

"Girl! I don't know...that's not important! I gotta run and find the DJ!"

( The Dj was an hr and a half late but that is another story!)

"Sir, I don't think I can let you in unless you pay regular admission, because you aren't a regular Greek..."

We are falling out laughing by now...and just then two of their sorors (one my sands) comes in and wonders why we holding up the line.

They explain what's going on and their sorors more or less tells them to stop BSing around, let me in, and for the hassle, let me in for free, and when they complain about not getting my loot, they tell them well whose fault that you can't read my letters?

Someone says...don't blame them, blame their dean.

^^^Screw that she should blame herself as the Alphabet are on the internet for her to read. Yeah her dean (MIP chair or whatever it is called in her org) should have taught her, but RIF.....some folx can learn for themsleves.

I am SMH, SMH, SHM.
