"Your in a fraternity not a sorority?"

My response to the so you pay for your friends bit:

I pay to belong in an organization that provides local and national housing, gives us yearly composite pictures (kind of like a yearbook but different ... you have to simplify it for them), and I pay for the educational speakers that you attend during the school year to receive extra credit in your classes ... but really it doesn’t matter what I tell you because it's pretty obvious by your close minded comment that you've already made up your mind about greek life.

Here is the ultimate in stupidity this article was written a couple years ago for our school’s newspaper.

Personally I would have said, "You have to pay to go to college, too."

in a related story, my sister asked me about a sorority at her school who wore black and yellow jackets that had 5 letters. im like WTF? so i went to her campus one day and she pointed them out... they were a campus dance troupe that had jackets, complete with names and their troup name spelled out.

ok thats my sister's bad, assuming that their troupe name was greek letters...

but i too hate the whole "can you do a step?" like its a magic trick we greeks just pull out our line jacket sleeves. sheesh.

I was thinking that the question, "can you do a step?" reminded me of seeing a man with a monkey on the sidewalk. Give the monkey a quarter and watch him dance!:p

that is such a horrible opinion about greek life! as both a sorority member and an editor for my student newspaper, i'm truly appalled of the fact that this junk did get published

my favorite question i have received so far? "if you started as a music fraternity, then why are there no music majors in it any more?"

Not you, but I know there are NPHCers who have forgotten how to spell because they've done the cutesy misspelling thing for so long. :p

Now take that from your computer screen and put that on a college research paper. :eek::p

ETA: It reminds me of how the younger people are using chat-speak on middle and high school homework assignments. These are the college students of the future. We need serious intervention.

Sadly, it isn't just the middle and high school assignments that are being submitted in chat-speak. One of my students turned in a paper that consistently used 'b4' throughout the whole paper. I circled it every time. He then asked me, "Did you count off for this? How many points?" :rolleyes:

I hate that everytime I wear my letters, someone who doesn't know how to read it automaticlly assumes that it says AKA.

I had a license plate on my car that just said 1908. I was at the car wash one time and a guy came up to me and said "Now I know your car ain't that old, what's that mean?" I told him it was the year my sorority, AKA, was founded. He said "No it isn't. My sister tried to be one back in the early 70s and they wasn't at her school."
