As A Member of XYZ, I Got The Hook-Up!
 

Tell us how being a member of your sorority or fraternity got you the hook-up?

I got the hook-up when I went for a job interview and the hiring manager and another member of the interview team were Omegas. After the interview and everyone else had left, one of the bruhs turned to me and said "now that the interview is over can I get a hug from my Sister?" Then as I left, the other bruh whispered "welcome to XYZ, when can you start?"

I also got the hook-up when we took my daughter to college at an HBCU. As usual her paperwork was "lost" and they would not allow her to register. That was until the director of admissions saw that I was her soror and she personally got involved and "found" the paperwork.

:D :D

This is such a good topic. :cool: ;)

Talk about a HOOK up
 

So about a summer ago..I believe it was summer of 01..I drove my car into DC for a Dr. appointment after work. Now mind you, I never drive at all. I got a parking ticket. The ticket was for $100 :eek: because I parked close to a construction site, but didn't see any signs saying you couldn't park here. There were other cars there as well, so I thought it was ok.

Anyway, I forgot I had gotten that ticket until I got a letter in the mail a few weeks latter saying the ticket had doubled to $200:eek: :eek: There was no way for me to pay a $200 ticket. I went to the ajudication center (whateva it's called and had to see a judge. we were led into a room with this women judge. As I sat down, the judge went into her bag, a bag that looked just like mine, with DST all over it, and grabed some files. She saw me staring at her bag and smiled:D. I smiled back and said, I have a bag just like that;) . Needless to say, she heard my case ( I was innocent of all crimes:rolleyes: ) and dismissed my ticket! :D

Re: Talk about a HOOK up
 

Now THAT'S a hook up. Awesome story.:D

This is a great topic!

I was in Atlanta last October visiting one of my line sisters. On the way home, I went to the airline counter and the guy taking the tickets noticed my DST T-shirt and mentioned he was a Que from the 1060's.

We talked for a little while and the next thing I knew, I was upgraded to first class and given 4 complimentary drink tickets.

That was my first time ever flying first class. Now whenever I go to ATL (which is often), I make sure I'm wearing some kind of para!

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey :D

Not me, but...
 

One of my sorors work in the legal department of a major oil company and she was able to 'hook up' our other soror with a job there. Not bad money at all. :D

I really in my heart believe that I passed high school math class because my mom and the teacher were both Deltas.

Too young in Alpha to have any hook-up stories yet.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey :D

I am still searching my memory for my I GOT THE HOOK UP, HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME STORIES!! :o

I was returning from a three week trip in Jamaica flying into Miami airport it was a couple weeks after September 11th so lets just say security was darn tight anyway as i turned the corner to go through customs i was hit with lines going all the way back to the room. My thought was ohh God i am never getting out of here in time to catch my connection to Tallahassee, Florida.

So there i am worry all over my face when a custom officer called me out the line.. I was like ohh give me a break i been called out the line and randomly searched already. Anyway i stepped up to him and he said ..you a SGRho.. I was like yes i had a bag with my letters on it. He was like come with me. This brother took me up to the front of the line got me checked out ...got my luaggage and walk me over to the check in area (which was on the other side of the airport i would have never had found it) for my connection. He is a Que and he said when he saw my letters he had to help a sister out. Thanks Mike :). Really appreciated your kindness.

my aunt, bless her heart, sent out an APB to all sorors when i graduated to let them know i needed a job. a soror called me up and was like "i got a job. i know you're dedicated because you're a soror. if you want it, it's yours."

I Know Thats Right!!!!! :D

Me too! But here's an "I wanna have the hook up" story. . .

I work at a community college with 5 campuses. As of July 1st, all of the deans were rotated. Just yesterday, prior to reading this thread, I was talking with the new dean and told her that I was a little concerned that someone would think that she was always talking with me or asking information from me because we were both Black. She said "tell them it's not because we're Black, tell them it's because we're Alllpha Kappa Alllpha women!"

How's that? :)

Ladygreek,

I LUUUV the fact that you're starting your own threads these days.
_______

My LS is getting married next year. She's such a negotiator...her wedding dress was over $1000, but she's getting it for about $700 because the lady selling it was a soror. That's a HUGE hook up!

As an UG...
 

My LS taught a particular class. I added the class (at the last minute). I attended only 2 classes and received an "A".

Re: As an UG...
 

lol now you know you need to go back to school and get that A the right way!(and tell her that I'll take the class next week):D


Well my hookup is Soror's that are in the entertainment biz. Flo Anthony being a soror and talking to her on the e-mail was cool. I told her I had a few pics of me with whoever and she said "send them and put a caption, I'll print them" Her website is down, but i thought that was so cool.

K Sly from the Beat(with our frat Steve Harvey) is a Delta and I asked her manager how much would it be for her to come down here and DJ, She laughed and said "well you know we charge for room and board, but for you all she'd want is to sleep over your house and kick it like it's stepshow weekend" I was like thumbs up to that! lollol.


As for outside the biz, I got out of a a ticket as well because a policeman was a Kappa. And I used to get tickets all over campus cause I parked as close as possible. But then an Alpha and Kappa made a "if you greek" rule. If you had greek plates, no matter where you parked, you didn't get a ticket:D

Re: Re: As an UG...H20 under the bridge
 

Chile puhleeze! That was OVER 10 years ago! The course had nothing to do with my major. I just wanted the "A". LOL

Hey, I did go back for the mid-term and the final (those were the 2 classes I attended). :p :cool:

:D

I obtained my current job on a "hook-up" I was at a job fair and the assistant principal (was an Alpha) that interviewed me, saw that I was an AKA on my resume and asked me ONE question. He told me he was a good judge of character and I got the job, that interview lasted about 3 minutes. Most of the threeminutes he kept stopping trying to get his wife hooked up with a job at another school.

Ladygreek did you put DST on your resume?

Yes DST is on my resume under Community Experience where I list my community leadership and volunteer activities.

BUMP

I got a ride to work from an Alpha once last year!


Don't worry, he wasn't really a stranger. But I ain't know him like THAT like that, but shoot, that was 45 minutes off my commute!

Shoot do you still have her number!!! A sistah is on the look out for a Mkt job in Atl...smile! I'll send my resume to anyone..LOL! oh, YUP DST is on the resume too!;)

Years ago, I worked in media relations for my organization and had arranged for a local news anchor to interview the president of our organization. About 5years prior to that, I'd been a newspaper reporter who had interviewed this same anchor and his mom as part of the Mother's Day package of stories our paper had done that year.

Anyway, at the time of his interview with the president, I hadn't seen him in the intervening 5 years. As he waited to get in to see the president, we exchanged fraternal greetings -- as good Alpha bruhs do -- and I took him in to the President's office. Dude spent first 5 minutes hyping me to the president, telling him how proficient I was, giving me major kudos.

I've always remembered and appreciated that gesture from one bruh on behalf of another.

I love these hook up stories...
 

I got a hook up at the National Convention in Philadelphia. It was my first National Convention and one of my previous Big Sisters now my SOROR asked me if I had a ticket to the Gospel Concert. I told her no. She gave me her ticket and said, "Have a nice time." I gave her a hug and told her thank you.

More hook up stories...
 

I am sure there are some more good hook-up stories. Please post them.

Hmmm in your 7 posts, none of them are an introductory post to your GC Sorors. Handle that.:)

man, i thought i told this story on here once, but here goes:

My iPod broke one afternoon, only a couple weeks after I bought it. Cracked the screen. Wasnt my fault, i swear! So I go to the local Apple store to see if i can replace it. After a not-so-convincing sob story, the guy at the Genius bar noticed I was wearing a lettered hoodie and said "hold on, Ill be right back."

Minutes later... presto chango! a new iPod! with all my songs uploaded and charged. turns out he was a Sigma. i dont remember his name right now, but i definitely sent a thank-you card to the Apple store.

and i was sure to buy a protective case ;)

So they CAN do that, huh?

i was at Houston's in Georgetown years ago (i heard it's closed down now:mad:) w/my two girlfriends in XYZ Sorority, Inc. our waitress was a soror who was still in undergrad. i chatted w/her and in the end, was ready to give her a nice tip since she did right by us. we got our bill and she didn't charge me for my meal. my girlfriends were not pleased but it worked for me;)
ah, Membership, it does have it's privilges...
ps. she definitely got that nice tip:D

slight hijack:

man, customer service reps FRONT HARD on what they "can" and "cannot" do. either "their job" doesnt require it or those folks just dont want to do it.

hmmm... so the 600 songs that are on my parents' crashed hard drive are not lost forever, huh?

I'm almost certain it became a Hooters.

ETA: Or maybe not. I really can't remember what happened to Houston's.

Houston's to Hooters, that's pretty sad:mad:

^^^^^
its not hooters, that's near Verizon center in chinatown... but i have no recollection of what happened to houstons. it's like it never existed :confused:

I was originally dstgirl32 but something happened with the log on, password or something. If I have to reintroduce myself I will handle that. let me know.

Hook ups from being an SGRho

1. Once I got a full tank of gas! I was in line to pay for my gas and just as I told the guy to put $40 in my tank, the guy behind me told him that he'll pay for it. Turns out his wife, his mom and his sister are all sorors!

2. Senior year in college, I applied for an internship at Enron and didn't get in (good thing). I put out an APB that I was looking for an internship and a soror came through. She hooked me up with the best internship! Great pay and housing provided for the whole summer!

3. First job out of college: A recruiter for a company in my hometown called me the day before graduation and asked me to come in on Monday for an interview. I got there and he asked me maybe 4 questions. As he escorted me out, he said "Alright then Indiana... I'll see you next week" Turns out he is a Kappa!
