Good Bye!
 

I have never in my life felt so bad about making a mistake. I admitted from jump start that I was wrong and I even made multiple corrections to my posts, but that was not good enough. So out of respect for you all, I have chosen to leave Greek Chat. Thank You to everyone that replied to my post, good or bad it was a learning experience. God Bless, and please continue to unify and make brothers like me proud of you all! Thanks again, and I NEVER meant to disrespect any of you all.

SPEECHLESS!
 

Cold Lil sis
 

Why speechless?

EEEEEEEK like a mug

I know man
 

I messed up sorry if I disrespected- I changed the post check it out now

?????????????
 

No he didn't take it there! Say it ain't so!

glass houses
 

Aren't you a sisterfriend? an interest of AKA?

Your handle is pretty girl.

And you are criticising this guy? The one who came back, apologised, and amended his post? That's deep.

If you are in fact a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha and not a Sisterfriend then I apologise but I just found that to be OUTRAGEOULSY funny.

Re: glass houses
 

I wasn't tripping about anything. I am a SF and I know not to disrespect the org. I am interested in. He'll be fine it was just a simple mistake. :p
Oh and yes I am a SF but I am not taking the role of a member of XYZ, Inc by being shocked. I just didn't expect him to say that thats all Ms. Ivy :rolleyes:

Re: Re: glass houses
 

Did you understand my point?

I can't imagine what positive feedback you expect to receive when you take your stance. Sisterfriend, please explain why you would choose a username that would give even the appearance of disrespect? Is that really wise?

And THEN to criticise another interest for making what is in essence the same mistake?

Like I said. Glass houses.

I can't tell...
 

Do you?

Like I said, I can't tell.

Re: Re: glass houses
 

I hardly think that rolling eyes, even on an Internet message board, shows respect to members of an organization that you may aspire to join.

That's just my .08.

Re: Re: glass houses
 

I think we all agree it was a simple mistake. If that's the case, I think the question is why you felt the need to come behind him talking about some, "Oooh, I know he didn't!" Yeah, I know that's paraphrasing it, but you get the point.

Ok
 

Look ladies! Guardian and I have talked and he knows what I meant and I have explained everything to him. I agree the eyerolling was out of pocket:o , and if you have a problem with anything I said or did. Please feel free to PM me. Guardian, we spoke and everything is cool:D . See I told ya.

Over my head...
 

Maybe I missed something here........oh, maybe I'm just getting old:confused:

Oh well...seems as though all is well....just didn't get why the confusion? ;)

puh-leeze
 

I do not care if you discussed this with him or not to be frank. My problem with you had nothing to do with his reaction to you.

NOT ONLY have you not listened when Sorors have told you that your handle is disrespectful.

NOT ONLY was your response to me adding to your record of blatant disrespect of AKA's on these forums.

but you have the nerve to then scold someone else about their behavior! When you are right on the border of being a perp! his reaction is not even the issue here, your behavior is.

That is deep, really really deep.

R E S P E C T - - - Is so unappreciated!

Not to play devil's advocate, but...

Pretty_girl is a common phrase and probably an even more common screen name. I know this phrase is typically assoiciated with the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha, but I know of people who use this phrase when refering to themselves and others, and these people know nothing of AKA. As a matter of fact, if you all can recall, a Delta prospect (who I believe is now a member of DST) went by the name prettygyrl.

I'm just trying to point out that maybe her name was not taken in the context in which it was meant. Has anyone considered that? :)

If you notice Guardian one none of the brothers are replying to you in here. I literally had to wait before I addressed you because I didn't want my anger to come off as ignorance. My Alpha side wants to curse you out! My christian side is begging me to show retsraint and drop knowledge. Please don't ask these questions in a public forum. PM a brother (not me) and ask for guidance. Also NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER let the phrase " A-PHI" come out of your mouth.

Not that this should be necessary...
 

But my reply was not directed at Guardian...it was at Sorors! I didn't see what the big deal (problem) was with pretty_girl. I agree with Nubian. A lot of people use this to describe themselves.

I tell you....Now I have an entire thread!:eek:

Re: Not that this should be necessary...
 

I would have to agree with you Nubian One of my Soror's Licence Plate is personallized with Prtty Gryl And she has the Delta Sigma Theta L. Plate surrounding it. Some folks even asked her if she going to change it after she became a soror, and she stated why??? Delta's are pretty girls too, and she had that plate since she was a soph. in high school (7 YEARS) and although she is a Delta, she things of herself as being a Pretty Girl! :D I know that the Ladies of AKA Always use this term, but I guess I never thought that, that term was only used by Alpha Kappa Alpha!:)

Re: Re: Not that this should be necessary...
 

Nevermind. Happy Easter though:D

Re: Re: Re: Not that this should be necessary...
 

Way to straddle that fence there Pretty:D

Re: Re: Re: Re: Not that this should be necessary...
 

No I have just been waiting for someone to say that because I thought I was alone. But your comments are always appreciated to me Dex ;) .

:cool:

FINALLY DRAMA THAT I AM NOT INVOLVED IN.......... :D

Maybe it's a regional thing, or a yard thing, I do not know.

But where I came through no one but AKA's would have used that term. It just wasn't done, not by other sororities, and CERTAINLY not by interests.

I do not understand why an interest of AKA would come on the internet and use a handle that is almost always used by AKA's- at least on GC, delphi and blackplanet it is. And then be upset when people perceive it as disrespect? That is some mess right there!

Granted it is not as bold as if she used 08, or ivy, but once again maybe this is because of where I came through, it seems just as bad!

If she had come out and explained that it had some meaning to her, etc. and that in her area it was not an issue I might have even understood, but she didn't. She was just bold about it and came out to CRITICIZE another interest. wow. what happened to humility y'all?

I guess it died a quick death.

Yea...must be a yard thing
 

Yeah,,,,

it must be a yard thing....I certaintly wouldn't have thought that a person was a Soror just because she used the term 'pretty girl'. I guess this would have changed if it did have identifying marks behind such as '08 or 1908.

But hey...that's just me...I don't care who uses the term. Especially on here...I don't know who's real or not. I just go with the flow. Remember, people can be who they want to be on the internet.

And as far as the criticism.....As previously stated: hey, I didn't pledge Alpha Phi Alpha. What do I care? I just saw it as someone replying and reacting. Didn't see a problem there. Greeks did it...why can't non-greeks?

Like I said...this is either over my head or I'm just too doggone old to understand. I guess...I don't know. But I am interested in knowinng what other terms are seemingly offensive up there: pink, panther, frog, green, mouse, light-skinned, long-hair (just joking on the last two)? I'm very serious.... I can understand some terms though like: Ethel, Ivy, '08, 1908, 20 pearls.

Maybe we need a thread on this .....;) All greeks...are there terms you only associate with your group or organization and would automatically think the peson is a soror or frat just because they used them? Would you be totally offended by an interest on GC using such?

Let me hear from you :D

From a non-greek
 

To go along with Happydays91, I think this "name" topic should be another thread, because I want to add my .02 cents :p

Isn't Pretty Girls, Inc. the name of an organization that was once a Kappa auxiliary? Back when I attended college (in the old days of '93 thru '97) :) they always reffered to themselves as the "pretty girls".

Hmmm, this topic seems like it will be interesting!:D

Come on over to AKA Ave.!
 

I think this would be a good topic, too!!! :) I'll start it across the street. :D
