EXCUSE MY MISSPELLING OF **BOARD**

[This message has been edited by AKA2D '91 (edited August 03, 2001).]

you know you are overboard when you refuse to touch anything red. Since I've pledged I have yet to own a red piece of clothing.
(Still got much love for my DST greek sistas though) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

------------------
...Taking control of my beauty... loving me for me...

When you've painted your house pink with green shutters or vice versa!!

When you have the AKA license plate in the front AND the back of you car AND the window stickers AND something hanging from the rear view mirror.

When you have (or desire to have) one room in your home decorated in pink and green and don't let anyone come in there except sorors.

When you just can't wait to have a little girl so that you can 'make' her a soror one day.

When you have a regular checking account for your everyday life expenses and a special AKA account for dues, conferences and events.

You are a professional woman, but have more AKA t-shirts than suits (smile).

now ya know...eh hem
I purchased a RED summer dress; HOWEVER, it does have like white stripes around the arm, so, it's still PINK, right?

Other than that, I STILL don't own anything red/crimson. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif Have I gone overboard, after all these years?

Uh oh Soror Wonderful, that would have to be me!!

I KNOW I HAVE GONE OVERBOARD BECAUSE:
1.)all the clothes i am bringing back to campus are either pink, green, pink and green, or have a hint of those two colors in there somewheres

2.)my Nokia phonecase is pink and green (for all those that are interested you can find it at www.Nokia.com !)

3.)I wanna name my daughter Aka (pronounced aykah) but my mom convinced me it could blow up in my face especially if she turns around and wants to pledge DST http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

4.)My beads in my hair are pink and green

5.)I can't walk out the house without one piece of nalia whether is a pin, tote-bag, t-shirt, whatever. I feel naked without it!

6.)Gave all my red clothing to my ex-roomate that just crossed DST. (hey i don't have a need for it!)

Okay that's enough for now http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

LOL I was not going to say anything Soror but I noticed that http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Dang, SFactor!! You sure you don't know some folks I know?! Before I pledged, I used to drive by a house every day that was very deep pink all over and had freakin' LOUD GREEN shutters. Both of the colors are so darned flourescent, you'd swear the house glows at night. I've yet to find out who lives there. Maybe I should do some detective work.

------------------
No weapon formed against me shall prosper, for I am a child of the Most High God, Who sits upon the Throne of Grace, and rules all Heaven and Earth.

1. dress in pink and green nalia from head to toe (cap, shirt, shorts, socks, shoes).

2. buy anything pink and green just because

3. refuse to buy a car unless you can get it in green

you know you've gone overboard when you're wearing an:
-AKA hat w/pin(s)
-AKA shirt w/pin(s)
-AKA bottoms
-AKA sox
-AKA gym shoes
-AKA shoelaces
*and an AKA watch, earrings, necklace, plus pink nail polish. at THE SAME TIME. GLAMOUR magazine will want to take a picture of you since you would be considered a GLAMOUR "Don't". i've seen someone in this get-up, in another Sorority, i might add. it was a bit much. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I would have to agree with my sorors and add, that it's def. overboard to rock the 'nalia hard, yet plead poverty when asked "soror, are you active?" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

If I see anyone in the new AKA "air max" in the new Ivy Leaf, then I KNOW you're overboard!!!

Now Soror, you have to admit, they are cute! Yaw better be glad I don't have $80 for some new shoes cause if I did...... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

IMHO, there isn't anything wrong with the shoe. NOW, if a Soror were to wear the shoes with other AKA NALIA from head to toe, then THAT, is OVERBOARD AND DOWN RIGHT RIDICULOUS.

If I do buy a pair, I'll ONLY wear the shoes, and no other para.

Well, Soror better go out and buy some paper/plastic cups from the dollar store, for those non-Sorors.

I've seen quite a few Sorors in NYC wear those AKA Max sneakers (whatever they're called, lol), they are pretty popular out here. I saw one Soror at Leadership wear them with an AKA T-shirt and an AKA cap with an AKA pin on it. Something only an older Soror can do. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

When all you have in your kitchen is AKA cups, but you won't let anyone drink out of them that's not a soror.

Ok Soror, you have seen me, right??? Because I am GUILTY as Charged! And NO EXCUSES!!!!!

OK, GUILTY AGAIN!!!!

However, the name I came up with has A.K.A. as the initials "Alexis Katrice Anderson". And the first girl I have, that WILL be her name. I have always liked "A" names. My son is Aaron, and he would have been my Alexis had he been a girl. And I am lucky enough to be marrying an "Anderson" and my middle name is DeTrice (which I hate). But "Katrice" sounds so much better http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif.

Sorors I know I am off the topic but I just wanted to remind you be extra nice to Alphas this year http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif This year we are celebrating 90 years of Lyle Love as in 1911 Soror Ethel married Brother George forming Lyle Love.

Sphinxpoet!

This entire topic reminds me of all of the older Sorors in my sponsoring Grad chapter http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif The day I crossed the Grad chapter all had on AKA earings, with an AKA necklace (or 2) and an AKA watch, etc. It was like an amusement park! One younger Grad Soror took us to the side and made it a point to tell us, "ONLY 1 PIECE OF PARA AT A TIME!".
I guess after I become a Golden Soror I'll wear my golden pin on my AKA cap and wear my other pins on my AKA socks. It seems like the in thing to do. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Okay Soror you got me on that one also. Since I was little My mom never dressed me in red. I guess she knew what she was doing.
**tea cups and glasses(only for Sorors)
**pink & green room (kitchen is all ivy also)
**my car is green and I have a front plate and rear emblem.
**have to have at least one piece of nalia also(keychain counts)
**always wear my AKA ring(crossing gift from Mom) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yeah, I'm pretty much caught up in this as well, lol.

*My AOL background is pink, and my font is green.
*I have a AKA plate on the front of my car, a little paddle hanging from my rearview mirror, and a sticker along the back window.
*I have a piece of naila everyday. If not my necklace, my keychain. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
*My comforter set is pink and green (I had it before I crossed http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/redface.gif)
*My kitchen is ivy, too http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
*I pose in the mirror with my pinky up, LMAO. I can't believe I told yall that, lol. But I know some of yall do it too. INCLUDING YOU SF'S http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

But, um, Beauty, you gon' hafta go snatch Soror Elite up, and get them beads OUT of her hair, lol!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif LOL LOL

Oh, but, um, I'm not overboard, though! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Thats funny. Actually my real name which I'm not going to post here on greekchat. Is a combination of my moms first name( who is a soror) and the letters AKA. So my name is **A-K-A, I'm glad it worked out in the end! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
You should of seen when I went to rush and they asked me to spell my name. They were like no she didn't!

Okay Sorors, don't laugh but I DID name my daughter something similar to the name(s) that you've mentioned. It was actually my mom's idea (she's also a soror). I do think that it's very precious now and it fits her to the "T" (my daughter that is). Okay this is really bad...my little sister's name is also like that spelled *-*-A-K-A! She had the same problem at rush. They asked her to spell her name and she was like, "you know; just like it sounds". Of course the response was just like the soror said before "No she didn't" Oh the agony of being a sophisticated chosen one from birth. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'm SURE they did! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif LOL

Given the way the Sorors up the interstate have "acted" historically during their rush!

I can believe it!

http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

LMAO!!!!!!!! NO COMMENT!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Sorors wonderful and poizniv, I emailed the both of you!

LOL! Soror, at least two of my line sisters have those AKA "air max" athletic shoes.

Sorors!!!!! I have missed you all!!!!! This is a topic that I must share!!! I love my sorority!!!!! Its like no other so I take this as a SERIOUS MATTER!!!!!!!
MY daughter is in the Future AKA nalia and the Khaki hat to match not to mention she always can be found only in pastels mainly Pretty in Pink... I have always thought that little girls look beautiful in PINK!!!! I don't think that I did it intentionally. I have my AKA briefcase which I take with me everywhere and my gold AKA business card holder. I have so much even down to the linen AKA dinner napkins. I try to keep the nalia down to one item when I dress. I have always dressed mainly in pastels but I have FLY two piece after five suit from Spiegel that my sorors asked when I walked in the room at a ball.... WHO IS THAT? SHE MUST BE DST. Until they saw that it was me. That was a rare occassion that I was RED. Y'all know that they talked about me but I couldn't resist that suit and besides... I LOOKED D*** GOOD IN IT!!!!!!

Now, those other ones, the "classics" came out not too long after I crossed, if I'm not mistaken. They are HORRIBLE looking. YUCK!

Yeah I was trippin out on those tennis shoes but, I kind of like the ones that look like Nike.

When someone says to you, "Dang, how much AKA stuff you got? Pink and green somethin' every day."

This lady said this to me at my job. Now she calls me Miss AKA. Ok, It was the week of my AKAversary. But still, why do people do that? Ok, I love my letters. But, my name is Ms. Monique, NOT Miss AKA!!! :mad:

Perhaps, Soror, the person who said "dang, how much AKA stuff you got?" is envious?
;)

It makes my skin crawl, ya'll!!!!
 

Then, why do peeps always say when they see something pink and green...those are YOUR colors!!???????:mad:

I mean dayum, I like all kinds of colors. :rolleyes:

Re: It makes my skin crawl, ya'll!!!!
 

AND...

Why are people surprised when your org's colors aren't your favorite color??? I mean, come on people, everyone had a favorite color BEFORE they crossed. Some people just don't think.

True dat, true dat. My favorite color was purple.
