So my girl mentions that she's thinking about pledging AKA.
 

We've been together for a while so we tell each other any and everything. So the other night she brings this up to me. I can't say I agree or disagree with her decision to consider joining a sorority. I'd say I'm indifferent about the whole thing really. I have good friends that are in Fraternities and needless to say I've heard some things about these organizations and their antics.

So as the boyfriend, what should I expect from this situation? What did your boyfriends have to put up with when you were on line? Of course this is hypothetically speaking in my case because nothing is set. I'm just trying to get a better understanding about this.

???

Impatient to get an answer, are we?

You might as well tell the AKAs your girlfriend's name and campus.

SMH

That's annoying.

Just be patient and wait for an answer, if any AKAs choose to answer. It's not like they have to, you know.

If you have friends in fraternities, I dare go out on a limp and suspect that they may have girlfriends in sororities. Therefore, my best suggestion would be to ask them. Oh yeah, THIS might help as well. :)

Well the whole response from my question is making me feel uncertain about the whole situation.

Your question cannot be answered here is the answer to your question.

Where can it be answered then?

I'm not even asking what is generally done during the process. I'm asking about myself. I'm sure people have gone through it and have had a serious boyfriend on here.

"So as the boyfriend, what should I expect from this situation?"

That was what I asked. Not what can she expect.

Regarding THIS situation, you can EXPECT to receive the answers you have already gotten. You should EXPECT exactly what you get. It's far too bad if these answers do not meet your standards.

That. is. all.

LOL @ this thread. If it's that offensive and embarrassing that you can't comment then I'm actually disappointed that my girl wants to be associated with it.

If my girl decides to go through this, I'm going to tell her upfront that if she feels like she can't tell me something (like the people on this site) due to it damaging our relationship that she needs to think about that long and hard.

Why do you feel entitled to answers from strangers? You're wack and insecure.

It seems to me that the girlfriend might want to find a new boyfriend

I wouldn't want to have to put up with someone like you

***Calling all Non-AKAs****

Dang, would ya'll please get off our TIP. Ya'll are so busy answering our threads, the sorors can't get a thread all to themselves anywhere edgewise...even when the topic is AKA (of all things). Why is it that every thread that asks a question about membership is answered by every non-AKA on the board? Why don't ya'll go to ya'll own boards and answer membership questions. Oh wait, you guys don't get the numbers of questions that we do. Stop hating. LOL.

Get.off.our.tip.

Ok, I'm finished talking stuff. LOL. :) (Ignore me)



RealTalk,
I understand your curiousity. I had a man when I became an AKA so I can understand somewhat. I guess that I would say to you that I can assure you that IF she is selected (emphasis: IF), she will be fine. Your relationship will be fine. You said that you're been together for sometime so...everything will be fine. Don't worry. I appreciate that you are taking enough interest in her life to want to know how to prepare yourself. We can't really go into anymore detail but just don't worry.

She has chosen well. Be happy for her and support her in her endeavor, as you would as she is trying to accomplish any other goal. Is she excited about her newfound interest? :) Be excited with her.

SC

Wow
You can put the claws away...Sorry, I know I wasn't trying to step on any toes, and I'm pretty sure the others who responded weren't, either.

Really though?

Well if she's an undergrad and IF she gets selected then expect her to be busy. Especially IF she gets into a small chapter. Events were always a must attend unless there was a conflict with class...that's the only exception...not you. The time commitment is very real and of course, AKA is a lifetime commitment.

You do the math.

If you're not greek, you will not understand and eventually she will leave you for a kappa. lol

I didn't know a message board question couldn't be answered on well... umm... a message board. Isn't that the purpose of a message board?

You don't know me and you don't know her :rolleyes:

Thanks for a completely thoughtless post.

Thank you, I appreciate the post. I really do.

Again thanks for the reply.

Not feelin' the joke though.

IT'S YOUR SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

No one here is OBLIGATED to answer you, no matter how hard you cross your arms and stomp your feet for an answer.

Senusret, I'm having a greater issue with an extremely inflated sense of grandeur by one person. Was it really that serious? Really? :rolleyes:

It was a joke. If it stings, maybe she touched a sore point?

I mean the "dude" did ask the question of AKAs in our forum, and while there were vaild points made, that is the bottom line. I have been noticing a lot of non-AKAs posting in threads like this recently. It has been said before....We got this. Thanks for your concern though.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! Stings? Not for me. I'm proud that our intakes don't resemble an obvious fundraiser.

However, this is a public message board. The OP didn't say, "I want AKAs to answer only". Sure, it's posted on your thread on this public message board, but it's still a ... wait for it... public message board where anyone can answer. People comment all over everyone else's boards including SGRho's.

Since this question was not directed explicitly at the AKAs only, we can comment. If you don't like it..., get your own AKA board somewhere in cyberspace.

Which is so easy, even a brigade of lawyers could manage it.

Then I wasn't talking to you, I guess. I took it as a joke and laughed. Miss me with all the rest.

Inspirations from GEICO... or FGSTFATW (which isn't as funny as it used to be). You decide. LOL

HEEEEY! *hands on hips*

Whathu tryna say?


LOL!

Soror,

I think that he has noticed the obvious - that in the world of Greekchat, and probably every other prestigious area of the real world, the Sorors have the field of law on LOCK.

Maybe he wants legal advice? (shrug) LOL.

SC

Actually, there weren't any claws. I was being tongue in cheek b/c I noticed the pattern. I haven't seen you posting much here but when you post more you'll begin to see what I'm talking about. When any question posted about AKA or to AKAs, it is almost like there is a stampede to the computer to answer by random non-AKAs. It's just funny to me b/c the pattern is so clear. Check out a couple of the other threads.

I'm just a smart a-s. Thus, "ignore me." :)

SC

You're welcome. Just ignore the emails by the non-AKAs. LOL.
Tell your girlfriend to get her stuff tight and come correct - tell her not to half step with my sorors.

SC

LOL

Fail.

So now our intake resembles an "obvious fundraiser," huh? Dang, that's cold. LOL. I guess that would explain why our corporate headquarters has been PAID IN FULL for years now I guess.

Now, come on now. You said: "People comment all over everyone else's boards including SGRho's." Do you mean to tell me that in threads asking about Sigma Gamma Rho (I am assuming that you guys have a number of those threads also but I could be wrong), my Sorors are all over the thread commenting?

That would be curious indeed.

SC

My Sorors always have my back. Soror, it *was* a joke. Dang. Now a soror can't joke? What are they doing over here always posting *anyway*? Must be infatuation. Did I spell that right? LOLOLOLOL.

SC

Come on Senusret. You know that I'm funny.
Why are you going to fail me? :)
SC

This is a serious question that needs to be answered! Real Talk is having some serious issues; so serious, in fact, his relationship is in trouble! *gasp!

PM me and I will get all the needed information to put into our wannabe data base. From there, we can match her to the necessary AKA to provide her with information.

I understand you, Real Talk. We are here to help.
