What Greek sterotype REALLY makes you mad?
 

I'll start, lol. I hate it when people who have never even had real reactions with sorority women say that we're all stupid sluts! Those people are so annoying.

Apparently being Greek means you know where to buy drugs. I was just hanging out by my school wearing letters and this guy comes up to me and asks where to buy weed.

That's crazy!

If there were a Greek stereotype that was completely false and baseless, it would make me angry.

Unfortunately all stereotypes have a beginning and there are Greeks that feed all kinds of stereotypes.

We don't wear letters much, but I have and when I do I had people automatically assume we party and get shit faced. What they don't know is we're a fraternity with both men and women. We're not a social greek letter organization.

To me, this sounds like you're making an implication that SOCIAL Greek organizations party and get wasted all the time. A Greek member, making a stereotypical statement about social Greeks, in a thread about the worst Greek stereotypes. How ironic :rolleyes:

It's not me making the assumption. I was saying that people assume that all greek letter organizations are the same. I just said that because we're not social. I really don't give a shit what it sounds like to you.

It just sucks because usually there's only a small grain of truth to those lies.

Whoa, calm down.

But you basically said... "People assume all we do is party and drink, but they don't understand that we're not a social greek organization." If that's not what you intended to make it sound like, fine. But that's definitely how it came across to me.

Same with me

Same. And I would like to point out that I know people in nonsocial GLOs that party more then any social GLO I know.

Oh lordy, there are so many! "Sorostitutes," snobby rich girls with Daddy's credit card, airheads. I've had people laugh in my face when I've told them that the all-Greek and all-sorority GPA's at most schools are higher than the all-campus GPA's. And yeah, we do like to have socials--but that's not what we're all about!

One of the stupidest comparison ever.

::sigh::

Oh no.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Isn't there an entire thread out there dedicated to this exact "problem"? I think there is, but I'm too lazy to look for it now.

Either way, I think everyone should start calling the country a c*nt, just so no one can make this argument anymore.

Egads! Not during July 4th weekend! :eek:

I know I've seen several threads asking this question. I don't want to search for them, either lol

The weekend is officially over :p

I think it's just late and I give up.

LOL

First we have ASTalumna calling her county a you-know-what...Now this.

WHAT'S GREEK LIFE COMING TO!?!?!?

It's official, mark this day... the downfall of all GLOs. I saw it coming. Next, everyone will start making up stories about brothel laws, and the whole system will come crashing down!

Don't even joke about those brothel laws. That's why my sister's cousin's aunt's hairdresser's teacher's husband's mistress' sorority sisters had to live in dorms :(

Well, at least she didn't have to worry about her ritual being out in public at the library of congress. But hey, John Goodman was able to retrieve our ritual because he was a celebrity.

Wow, I'm sorry. That's so tragic. It really makes you wonder how such a discriminatory law could actually be upheld in this day and age.

Our ritual is on the moon, so luckily it's not a problem.

I was going to say something about following the laws in our country, but I'm a fan of the word "frat", so...

It's a good thing you caught yourself... you wouldn't want to be considered a hypocrite. Abbreviating one word that people have been abbreviating for years and years, and not abbreviating a word that has never, and will never be abbreviated... again, what is Greek life coming to?!

Sidenote: I've said abbreviate so much that the word has lost all meaning :p

I'm just glad my sorority pin was voted the prettiest by the Smithsonian and was also designed by Tiffany's.

My favorite is that I'm a rich snob with daddys money. LOVE it since my parents are wicked poor, and I support myself.

What is with teh HooRah posts? why can't i see them? I can only see the quotes.

I love my WOMENS frat :)

GREAT THREAD. :p

That ZTA circle your fat during initiation! OMG! WTF!

This is 10 kinds of funny!!! I've heard them all...members are "stuck-up" "raunchy" "hood" Whatever...but it all boils down to how you carry yourself as a person. I mean you must have had some EXCEPTIONAL qualities or you wouldn't have been chosen. :)

One stereotype I've heard a lot is by joining an organization means you are "paying for friends." As a PNM, that always bugs me.

This thread is greatness.

Hey now...our badge really was designed by Tiffany & Co.

That line irritates me to no end. So apparently if you are hanging out with non greek friends you never spend a cent. Any kind of clsoe relationship will have finacial obligations.

Or just about any club you join.

Oh I've got one.....and they actually did do this and an administration did say this to me personally about a month ago!

The university did NOT do a feasibility study before planning, designing, and getting the board of regents approval to build Greek housing....WHY?!?!?!?

Because they think we're all RICH!

I love how Greeks get to pay for new dorm and cafeteria with our parlor fees (ask how I feel about this).

Its always fun when you have people who think they know what youve done through out your pledge process. Some of the things i hear are ridiculous.

Listen everyone... StOp MaKiNg FuN oF mE!!! I DID pay for my freinds. I had already met ppl and made some freinds when I started college, but I wanted more+++!!!!!!! I figured, why not fork out 100s of $$$ a semester for more ppl to like me!?!? It just made good cents!!!!

Drinking is my hobby. I live for it. If I'm not on the floor nearly passsssed out, I haven't had enough to drink!

I sleep w/ guys like it's my jobb. Dont ask for there names tho cuz I could prob only tell u 1/2 of them and thats just embarrrrrasssssing!!!

& hazing... don even get me started!!!!

My GPA was so low when I graduated, I don even know how I got my diploma! I walked across the stage an I saw every1 staring, wondering "Why is she even here?!?!"

Actually, the only reason I prob got it is cuz my daddy is so rich, Im sure he paid off the skool. After he brung me that pony when I was 6, I new I was set 4 life.

The scary thing is I have met people like that that are GDI's. Though they might be greek by now, which would be a real shame.

I hate the don't call a fraternity a frat thing. I call my frat a frat, and I don't abbreviate the word country because it's 2 syllables long. Whoever made up that saying is a puss.
