I love you, tiny!!! :D

That was so brutal!!!

One day at work the kids were going to thier lockers to put up their jackets ect. This one boy had a sweatshirt that said Alpha Omicron Pi really big on the front. He was in the 5th or 6th grade. I asked him were he got it. He told me his mom bought it for him. I simply told him that it was a Sorority sweatshirt. He looked at me really weird and said, "Kinda like you're an AKA," I said yes. He said I am never wearing this again. I don't wanna be in girl stuff.

because usually that relative is just a 'nalia wearing member herself.

So wait. Do you mean that there are people who spend their entire lives pretending to be a member of a GLO that they're not part of??


This is blowing my mind right now. I need a minute.

No, I mean the relatives have not been active with the org since college and all they do now is wear 'nalia. Remember our alumnae(i) chapters are just as prominent as our collegiate chapters and hold a certain "status" in our communities.

But on the other hand there are folx like what you described. Some have been caught, but I bet there are still some out there getting away with it.

LG, I didn't about it like that. It had to be a reason that a MEMBER would think it is ok for an ADULT to wear future anything stuff.....especially in public.:eek:

I agree with LG.

Unfortunately the woman I know who allowed her daughter to wear 'nalia (socks, jewelry, etc.) was very active in the graduate chapter.

Maybe a form of flattery!

Funny, a kid wearing an AOP shirt and not knowing whatr the heck it was!:cool:

If I see someone wearning any letters, I ask where they are from and when the go Dah, I ask why do you wear them?

No answer of course!!!!!:eek:

i cannot stand that - greeks who think its OK for their children to wear letters/do the call/sign but will hem up the first non-greek who does the same. im sorry, birthright is not legit to me.

p.s. am i the only person who uses non-greek? i know that the term is GDI but no one in the greek circles i run in use it - theyre either "non greek" or not greek.

in a related story, i was working the door at a party (nongreek) and these guys come up like, hey we hear greeks get discounts into all the hot parties... were DPhiE's... come on!

you shouldve seen the look on their faces when i informed them that those are SORORITY letters. they exited stage left real quick.

I use nongreek unless I'm typing on GC.

We had this girl at in our film program and in general she was pretty mean to anyone who was in a sorority. It always seemed like she had a chip on her shoulder against greek life. She knew that sorority women didn't wear letters to the bar or anything like that and she apparently got a set from thrift store. She shows up wearing the letters, drunk and is like "look I'm a sorority girl and I am sooo drunk and I am wearing letters and might get in trouble!!!". All the sorority women at the bar thought it was kind of funny to watch her make such a spectacle of herself while unbeknowst to her she was wearing fraternity letters that weren't even on our campus.

Both of those things about guys in a "sorority" and visa versa are hilarious! Wow. Lame!

Actually, DPhiE is also the first and only national professional foreign service fraternity and sorority (whatever that means) founded at Georgetown University in 1920. My cousin is a DPhiE and she gets irritated when she sees people other than sisters wear those letters, too, though.
