Embarrsing another GDI wearing Greek Shirts
 

I was shopping the other day for a mothers day present when i saw this guy wearing a UF Greek Week shirt. So i was like hey man what Fraternity are you in, im a Sigma Chi?" Hes like what makes you think im in a fraternity??? Im like ummmm welll maybe that greek week shirt. And he says haha oh ya well im on the UF soccer team and one of my teammates left it at my place and I just wear it for the greek letters. So im like oh so your trying to act cool then huh?! He got a little pissed and was like hey i play soccer for UF, i am cool. Im like well would you get pissed if you saw someone wearing a UF soccer shirt who didn't play soccer for UF. Hes like hell ya i would....and then i laughed and was like well why the hell are you wearing a Greek week shirt when YOUR NOT GREEK!!! He didn't say anything and his friends laughed at him. It was so great! Anyways thought i had to share.

LOL
 

Way to go UNFSigmaChi!!!!!!

Bravo!

Proud to see you went about it in an intelligent manner as well and beat him at his own "game" (pardon the pun).

Duh!!!!!
 

:D

This wasn't the same jackass that wore the AXO letters trying to pickup chicks, right?

haha no it wasn't him, I can't believe you remember that one. St. Augustine is definatly a unique town. The majority of the people there are redneck/white trash, or the Flagler College(Art college) where all the art people go or as some say, "where rich parents send their stupid children." The first place where you can get a degree in Stage Combat haha. But when im home and I wear letters around people look at me funny and the white trash people at wal mart are like, "hey youse in one of dem frats...can I buys one of dems shirts from you to wear." If it wasn't for all the cool tourists that visit Id go nuts. I have a lot of funny stories about greek imposters i've met over the past couple of years since my parents moved there from Sarasota. A lot of people i guess give their old greek shirts to goodwill and people will buy them up. One of the girls i work with that goes to Flagler found a KAT shirt at a goodwill and wore it for a few times cause she wanted people to notice her as a "sorority girl" and thought people paid her more attention....like guys.

This and the other GDI wearing AXO letters threads make me think of one of the funniest things I ever saw: In the late 80's, a homeless woman got a hold of a t-shirt with Kappa Alpha Theta block letters that someone at USC (CA) had thrown away. Theta had and has an outstanding chapter at 'SC, full of beautiful and bright women. So it was pretty hilarious when the Row Run (the greek system's newspaper back then) hit the stands with a FULL PAGE picture of this woman on the front cover, close up and looking very disheveled but very proud, missing all sorts of teeth, greek letters on her chest larger than life, with the simple caption: RUSH THETA.

I was not greek at the time I attended USC, but I remember the Row Run.

...even funnier is the fact that UF DOESN'T HAVE A MEN'S SOCCER TEAM!!!

We have a very very good women's soccer team, but not a men's team (one of the ironies of Title IX)

So pretty much this charming young man was:

1) ALSO lying about being on the soccer team,
2) too stupid to know what sport he plays, or
3) on an INTRAMURAL team, which anyone can join if they're a student and have enough brain cells to present themselves and their student ID card on the sign up day.

Way to go, buddy. I bet the fraternities here at UF are just falling all over themselves to rush you.

heh heh. this thread reminded me of something. this is kinda funny too. i was at walmart in tennessee 'bout two or three weeks ago and i saw a white woman wearing a shirt with the greek letters for "kappa alpha psi". i wasn't quite sure what she was thinking and i just couldn't walk away without knowing so i actually worked up the nerve to ask her 'bout the shirt. i told her it was an interesting shirt and she told me that her sister had picked it up from some store and given it to her as a gift because her name is Kay. heh heh. she was kinda older and i didn't have the heart to break it to her that the shirt didn't really mean her name. i just kinda laughed my ass off when i got outside.

marissa

lol thats kinda funny, we had some kid that actually had enough balls to come to one of our parties in our letters. We went up to him and he was like my dad was a Phi Sig so I'm like whatever. Later we found out that he was going around telling girls that he was a brother and shit, so we tossed his ass. Your dad might have been one but you sure as hell aint nor ever will be haha.


PHI SIGMA KAPPA-damn proud

:eek: :eek: Daaaaaggg!~~~!!! Some people are crazy~!

LOL, such a freaking shame.

Do we have a link to that thread?

This is why when I have to throw out a t-shirt with my letter that has been riddled with holes, I always cut out my letters beforehand. I might never know who could pick it and wear it and possibly ruin a GLO's good reputation. My advise is if you're going to throw out some shirt (or any article of clothing) with your letters, cut them out.

UNFSigmaChi, that's great that you ridiculed this guy in front of his friends! What a f*cking moron!

Working up the nerve to say something is pretty impressive, but it would have been kinder to tell her that it was a fraternity instead of laughing at her later. I hope no one is rude to this poor woman who has no clue later.

The man in AXO letters thread

That's the link to the old thread.

Hey, nothing interesting like that ever happens to me! :p

However, something I think is funny, is that once about a year and a half ago, I left one of my DZ shirts in my boyfriend's room when I was visiting him. Apparently it reminded him of me, so he used to wear it around campus all the time...which is brave, really, considering it had a pink butterfly on it and Delta Zeta written in pink letters. Anyway, people used to come up to him all the time and say, "Hey, man, I didn't know you were in a fraternity!" :p

Poor poor Marty...... :p

This reminded me of what happens all the time to me too, lol. I wear my boyfriends letters to the gym and whatnot and I -always- have at least one old guy come up to me and chuckle, "So honey, are you a Teke?". They end up being alumni from various chapters but we both get a kick out of it, :D

lol that's hilarious

Oh I wait for the day I see a random jackass wearing my letters.


It's gonna be called "Bottle to the head and his shirt confiscated by someone who earned the right to wear them."

Seriously, if randoms wana use letters to pick up girls, can't he just use letters that aren't taken? Like, Theta Omicron Lambda or SOMETHING.

Hey DeltaSigStan, that is a good one!

Angry!!!!
 

OMG I had to post this! I was in shock!

So I was working at Victoria's Secret today and this woman comes up to the fragrance section and I notice she has on a greek Eastern Kentucky University shirt. She looked rather, and I'm not trying to be mean - but I guess I am anyway, completely undone. The shirt was way to tight and she shouldn't have been wearing it, her hair was very 1980's -BIG- ......I could go on about the poor appearance of this woman, but I won't.

I ask her if she needs help finding anything, then I say "I like your shirt! Were you an Alpha Gam?" (B/c AGD was highlighted). She looked at me puzzled and said "what the hell's an alpha flam?" I said "no no Alpha Gam, Alpha Gamma Delta - its highlighted on your shirt" She looked down and said - "oh, no-what is alpha gamma delta?". "Its' a sorority" I said. "OH -**** no! I don't belong to one of those. This shirts not mine" She seemed rather disgusted, so I asked if it was her sisters. She replied with a no, she had no sisters. I stopped asking questions and politely walked away.

Can you believe that? She was so mad that I asked her if she was in a sorority when , hello she was in a sorority shirt!!!!

Re: Angry!!!!
 

UKDaisy, how did that woman acquire that shirt? Just wondering?

I'm not sure CatStarESP4! After that my manager could see that I was in shock and that i could say something I shouldn't say to a customer and took me to the back to steam nighties!

Not sure how you can hate sororities and then wear a sorority shirt.

I went to Eastern Kentucky University..........and i'm not suprised that incident happened hahahaah. I've heard some people refer to the fraternity Theta Chi as "Ox" as in the animal, when seeing their letters.

She probably got the shirt the same place a lot of GDI's get them......goodwill. some people still dont know or arent told/taught to burn, pass down, or cut up their shirts after they no longer want them. One day i was driving through my town and i saw a lil mexican dude walking down the road wearing a Kappa Delta letter shirt.......nothing against Kappa Delta at all, they are a fine sorority, but i couldnt help but to laugh when i saw that.

Kappa Alpha Theta

If we no longer want a certain shirt or any article of clothing with our letters, we should destroy them or give them to our chapters for safe keeping is a very good point I can't stress enough. Just throwing it away or giving them to charity is not an opition. After reading about these GDIs wearing letters that they did absolutely nothing to earn, I find it funny but scary at the same time.

Re: Alpha Gam Shirt

Wonder what she thought an Alpha Gam was, lol. Now wearing one that showed squirrels and nuts I can believe;) :D

I cannot even begin to express how I feel about the postings of the homeless woman and y'all making fun of her for wearing letters. For Petes sakes, people, do you mean to tell me you'd rather have a homeless lady not have any clothes than wear your letters?

And you're worried about someone like this giving your GLO a "bad name"?

YOU give YOURSELVES a bad name by being so proud of your GLO that you'd rather throw away a shirt, etc than let someone who truly needs clothes wear it.

If someone really needed clothes, and I had some old SAI shirts, I would let them wear them. Yes, I am VERY proud of my sorority...but there comes a point when you can be TOO proud.

What do your GLOs teach you? I suspect about love, kindness, helping those in need...and yet you go against this by being so selfish that you don't want a HOMELESS lady wearing your letters.

Disgusting! :mad:

I think there is a big difference between a homeless person wearing letters and somebody just wandering around the mall who is obviously not homeless. For example, if I saw a homeless woman in Milwaukee at a bus shelter with a Gamma Phi date party shirt on, I'd be pretty confindent she wasn't a Gamma Phi, and so would most other people. However, if I was shopping at the GAP, and saw a girl come in with a Greek Week shirt on with her 'crombie jeans and NBs, I would expect that she (or at least her boyfriend) is Greek. The homeless person isn't purporting to be a member of that organization, but the girl in the mall sure is.

Yes, I agree with that. But I have seen many posts on here where people complained about poor or homeless people wearing their letters...and I think it's tacky to complain about that.

Sairose, I agree with you!

Maybe I'm odd or I just don't get it, but I really have bigger things in life to worry about than someone wearing a greek t-shirt. I think there's a difference between someone picking up a t-shirt and wearing it without knowing that the letters mean something, and someone going around pretending to be a member of an organization. I'm only going to waste my precious time being bothered by the latter.

My friend said he saw a dude with an AKA jacket on and I've seen a guy with a Delta Sigma Theta jacket on. I don't understand it but I didn't think it was my place to say anything.

Were they line jackets? That's weird as hell...if you're going to perp, at least perp the right gender. :p

Yep. They were line jackets. As Morpheus said "unbelieveable, isn't it?"

Yeah, that is just :eek:. They better hope they don't run into the wrong people with that stuff on.

I agree. I couldn't believe some of the stuff that was being said in this thread. If I'm not going to wear a shirt anymore, I'd rather have it go to someone who needs it than to rip it up and have them go shirtless. Nobody's going to think that the homeless lady down on the street is actually a Tri Delta. It's not reflecting badly on my organization. In fact, if you actually took the time to think about it, it's reflecting well on my organization because I donated clothes to the homeless rather than only thinking of myself.

I do agree with GeekyPenguin, though, that there's a difference between a homeless woman and the random girl in my English discussion section.

Well, the most logical thing I could think of is maybe that was their S.O's jacket or maybe a parent's?

Exactly. I think it reflects well on a GLO if they donate their shirts to someone who truly needs clothes.

I do agree that people that are just trying to look cool should have no right to wear letters.

But...come on, people!

In addition, I don't think it's too kind to absolutely humiliate someone for wearing the letters. It's a good idea to point out to them (NICELY!!!) that what they're doing isn't cool...but humiliating someone? No.

sairose, valkyrie, sugar and spice:

Yep! What you said.

.......
 

To all of those disgusted with my post. I'm sorry if my post offended anyone. However, as I earlier said this woman was shopping in the mall with a distinct hate for a shirt she was wearing. She ended up spending well over what a homeless person would.....there for she wasn't homeless. So I'm sorry if my post upset anyway and made people disgusted. My goal is not to create enemies on GC.
