I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

I cannot resist asking why the Founder's Day of Delta Sigma Theta is Jan 14th and Zeta Phi Beta Jan 16th. I know Zeta is probably because Delta beat them to the 14th but I think that this was intentionally malicious towards a certain org founded on Jan 15th.

I know you may erase this but that will just reinterate my theory.

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

Delta was founded on January 13, 1913. Delta and Zeta (1920?) were founded in different years. Your quote only holds up if the organizations were all founded in the same year. I don't know of any maliciousness between the organizations. And which org was founded on Jan 15th? So what is your point? and what is your theory?

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

CTHU!! Let me just say that first. Second, LMAO. Third, our organizations as others have said were founded in 3 DIFFERENT YEARS!!

Theoretically, IMO, having a founding date is parallel to a woman's due date and giving birth most times in the area of the date that the doctor gives her. Just like the woman/doctor had no control in when the baby is born, our founders were not IMO "MALICIOUS" with the founding dates. I mean COME ON!:rolleyes: 5 of the 9 organizations are founded in January but I am sure nary a one of them were trying to "take someone else's date".:rolleyes:

Once again, LMAO.

**I split this thread because I thought it was in poor taste to go in our HAPPY FOUNDER'S DAY THREAD.

If anyone else cares to address this question, feel free.

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

You really must not have been thinking logically when you made this statement!!!!! :rolleyes:

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

ok, this is thread is funnier than ASK MZLIZ! ROTFLMAO

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

What was that in another thread about "lightening up"?? :rolleyes:

Interesting Thread I will say that much. Definitely not anything malicious about the founding dates of the organizations of the Divine Nine..coincidence maybe but definitely not maliciousness.

And this is why I asked...I felt that some people would be touchy about this question but if it is such coincidence then why all the hoopla. Malicious may have been a strong word to use but I certainly don't see why the date just HAD to be before Jan. 15th. The fact that it was three different years does'nt make a point in my opinion.

The orgs on my campus have made a point of celebrating Founder's Day and I felt this question was a relevant one for such reason.

It was brought to my attention in a private message that organizations have deadline dates o submit certain information. I was aware of this but was not aware that this was standard during the time of the creation of the Divine Nine orgs in the early 1900s.

As far as everyone getting their feathers all ruffled, well that just goes to show it may be more to it than you are willing to admit.:rolleyes:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
First of all EVERY ORGANIZATION celebrates their FOUNDERS DAY so what was your point?!?! This does not happen on just your campus but campuses and chapters (collegiate and alumnae) world wide.

Second of all the "HOOPLA" that you are referring to is really not all of that. The first few responses helped you correctly identify the dates of the organizations you are accusing of "maliciously" making their FOUNDERS DAY close to the AKAs Founders Day. :rolleyes:

Now in the interest of maintaining PEACE on this board, if you have further questions about the "maliciousness of founding dates",:rolleyes: :rolleyes: please ask someone on your campus. You know FACE 2 FACE. :eek:

As far as applications being given deadlines, that happens all the time. For example, you applied to college right?!!? Or you file taxes every year?!?! Now I don't know about you, but I had "DEADLINES" to submit my applications and my taxes. That being said, once I turned the applications in and filed my taxes, I had to wait for the corresponding colleges and IRS to respond. THE RESPONSE, APPROVAL, ACCEPTANCE, REFUND happened on the RESPECTIVE OFFICES' own timeline. Hence, drawing a parallel here since I was not around in 1908, 1913 or 1920, I am postulating that once the respective FOUNDERS of aforementioned organizations filed their paperwork, they had to WAIT FOR APPROVAL and once APPROVAL was given, that date (OUT OF THEIR HANDS) was henceforth and FOREVER MORE their FOUNDING DATE.

**special note, my caps are emphasis**:cool:

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

Forgive me y'all, but I'm intrigued.

Endroad, what EXACTLY is your theory and why is it irrelevant that the 3 orgainzations in question were founded in different years?

Hello Sisters,

It's been a while since I posted over here. How yall doing? Since winter weather has finally kicked in and I am "snow-bored" I thought I would say hello and also say, "the date in January? what difference does it make? " I just think it wonderful that it happened when it did, whether its 1908, 1913, or 1920.

CrimsonTide I am appreciating your responses. I must also say that I am glad that my Sorority's month is November.:p

**blushing** **grinning**:) Thank you Blue Reign. I guess we know that the S G Rhos are the angels of the 4 of us since you all are in November. Oh but no wait that means you were trying to steal the Omegas from the Deltas. :mad: :p :rolleyes: LOL, just jokes before we have another "Start mess" thread".

I have a theory everyone.................................... that is SOMEONE is trying just a little too hard to be a suck up .

Endroad,


I think you are trying to say that because the other groups were founded on days that happen to be before the 15th that they were trying to "one up" another organization. Hello, come on now..................... everyone knows that January 15th, 1908 came before January 13th, 1913. There can be no mistaking what came first so I don't see how you could say that the founding dates were done in a malicious fashion. Get a grip!:rolleyes:

Virtuous,

That is exactly what I was trying to ask. I did not mean for it to seem like I was putting anyone down. I felt my question was really legitmate due to the way the Founder's dates are arranged ignoring the years. I do not use the phrase "One Up" but that is the way I see it. The orgs on my campus even seem to try and do this to each other all the time both sororities and fraternities.
Thank you for summarizing my intent.

To Everyone....

As for face to face interaction, I have had this conversation, but my personal friendships are very important to me and when I saw that the greeks I asked ALSO seemed to be uncomfortable with this topic I just dropped it to save bond.

Now I felt that I could receive an inpersonal answer here without hurt feelings. I guess I was wrong because one of the two PMs I did receive was just horrible.

It was recommended that I apologize. I am willing to do so on the grounds that I had hoped you all would not take it so harshly.

Therefore to the women of Delta Sigma Theta who took my post as an insult to yourselves personally or your organization, my apologies that was not my intent. :o

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

What the....?????:eek: :confused: :mad: This makes no sense.

Why are you reading so much drama into this Endroad? Most of the responses on this board have been to a. correct you on your dates, or b. question what exactly you are asking. I do not think that a request for you to clarify is hostile. I DO however think that your theory is a bit of a stretch.

Oh wait no, I'm forgetting the responses where people were expressing their amusement with this theory. Hardly complimentary, but not hostile either.

None of us was present in 1913 or in 1920 and I do not particularly feel that we can really sit here and guess the intentions of the founders of DST or ZPhiB. As all three org's were founded at Howard however, I do not think it is a stretch to assume that the deadline theory is perfectly valid.

As for the apparently hostile people who did IM you, you are sitting here in a rather brazen attempt at judging people's founders, what are you thinking is the response you will recieve? Why are you surprised?

Just out of curiosity, now to the founders of which of these organizations, exactly have you spoken? Since you are so confident there was some intentional malice done on the behalf of any of these orgs. No one of us could answer this question, as inane as it is, there is no 'answer' outside of it being coincidental.

hmmm...
 

idle hands...

i'm not a member of any one of these orgs, but...
 

i do believe you hit the nail on the head

Let's start something
 

Go 'head girl. Yes, we were trying to steal the Omegas. After all, we really, really, want and need "brothers" so baaad! LOL!!

Re: Let's start something
 

Yeah you know, y'all got the NOVEMBER CONNECTION, CANINE LOVE, GOLDEN LOVE, and DOUBLE DIGITS -- 1911/1922 LOVE going on. You all were sooooo malicious and stuff. :mad:

LOL, again these are just jokes.

:D LMAO, I GUESS IT IS PRETTY FUNNY WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT.

;)

Now, you were supposed to keep it on the DL, Soror BlueReign!!
 

Shhhhh! Soror, they weren't supposed to know!!! LOLOL!! We were being covert for all these years and you go and spill the beans!!! Foiled again!! They broke the code!!![1911/1922] They broke the code!! :p

:rolleyes: Back to the drawing board,

Re: Now, you were supposed to keep it on the DL, Soror BlueReign!!
 

CTHU, I used my special decoder from the cereal box to crack the code.:p

Too funny!
 

This thread has me crackin' up! WTH???!!!??? Some people just don't get it....:rolleyes:

Re: Re: Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

Thanks for the clarification. That makes EndRoad's theory all the more perplexing.:confused:

I think the responder's "feathers are ruffled" because we are struggling to find the logic in this proposed "maliciousness" amongst the organizations when they were founded in different years. And your second post has provided little clarification. I'm sure you're bent on reading what you want into the founding dates, so this seems to be pointless to me.

The final founding dates were based upon finalization of the articles of incorporation with the government, something that no one was in control of once the documents were submitted.
:confused: :confused:

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

Can we nominate this for Silliest Thread for GC Oscars 2002....I just don't understand:confused: ;)

Great minds think alike however due to the date that this was submitted this thread is not eligible for this year's competition but TRUST ME in 2003, this is one nomination I will not struggle with.

Re: I know this is going to be some mess but...
 

I know I'm late to this, but I wonder why this question is being posed by someone who is not a member of any of the sororities mentioned indirectly or directly in this thread. :confused:

My Theories as to the Formation of this thread
 

**sounding like Kirk Franklin** Someone ASKED A QUESTION:p
1. As Virtuous Erudite alluded to earlier, perhaps this was a way of seeking "brownie points".

2. Nothing else to do, no other topic to think of.

3. Idle hands

4. Desire to make a name for herself.

5. She is a philosopher and wanted to practice her philosophical prowess on GC.

6. She wanted to stir up friction among 3 of the 4 BGLO sororities.

YOU BE THE JUDGE!

Re: My Theories as to the Formation of this thread
 

If I can do multiple choice, may I pick 2, 3, and 6 as my answers?

:p

Re: My Theories as to the Formation of this thread
 

6. She wanted to stir up friction among 3 of the 4 BGLO sororities.


I guess we foiled that plan....we are all UNIFIED in our CONFUSION as to what the point of this thread is? Am I wrong Sisterfriends?

Re: Re: My Theories as to the Formation of this thread
 

That sounds about right, united in the question: WTH????

Re: Re: Re: My Theories as to the Formation of this thread
 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm indeed:D .
You know I believe you all are right because when I saw her initial post, I did say WTH and some other things.

"WTH" UNITY all up in here.:p Thanks EndRoad!!:cool:

Re: Re: Re: Re: My Theories as to the Formation of this thread
 

Yeah, thanks Endroad for the unifier--much love to my sister greeks!

Therefore to the women of Delta Sigma Theta who took my post as an insult to yourselves personally or your organization, my apologies that was not my intent. :o [/B][/QUOTE]

I don't think anyone was insulted by your post at all. I think it was more on the lines that it didn't make any sense. To be honest when I read it I thought, what a dumb azz post. Maybe because you were stating wrong facts. (Go figure) But my knowledge is not everyones. I think you are trying to start some mess. I agree with the responses of my Sorors and Sisterfriends, but I guess I'm not so PC.
:D

Endroad, how in the world are you going to say that you'll apologize and state the "grounds" on which you'll do so.

Now that it TOO FUNNY to me. It's funny to me because that sounds like some "chit" that I'd say to my husband.

I'm going to just go ahead and lay off of this one, and excuse you for posting that ridiculous thread in the first place. I started wondering if you may be the "third cousin, twice removed" of CelestialBlues/Victoriasecret. (That was my theory behind the thread)

To quote the phenomenal "crack-smokin', wife of the King of R&B", Whitney Houston...."Girl you may just wanna LAY LOW for a while on this one!
