Do you think people act different when they get into a organization?
 

Do you think that people act different once they are apart of an organization? I have did surveys and some people say that some people act different towards them once they are a member.

I did. I was more at ease with the sisters once I got in. Not only was I more at ease with them, but with myself because I wasn't in the "am I going to get in? am I going to get in?" state that I was before I joined.

I am talking about some people say the girls ask sassy e.g. When you see a friend guy in the store and you are with your soros do you speak or do you look at them and roll your eyes and walk away?

Thats how people say some greek act, do you?

Um, no. Although I have seen that behavior exhibited by new members who thought sorority membership validated them or made them hotter in some way. I think some of these people had a "so much cooler than you" complex before they got in. Being Greek just made them more visible.

Thanks, I think so to because I friend of mine told me that people do him that way which I think is wrong, but I just feel different because I am a Soror, but I don't act that way.

Naw girl. I act like I'm above everyone, regrardless of my sorority standing.

Remember when curiouss extended the olive branch of peace to herself?

Or how about those conversations between Kip Winger, Jean-Luc Picard, et. al.?

I was thinking the same thing, OTW.

You weren't thinking jack.















What is yall talking about?

Oh, but I was.

Now wait, was curiouss Dionysus or is that the person who was that fake French guy?

That thread has been deleted!

Who is off the hook?

Is you blind, or just ain't got any sense?

Oh wait, that was curiousgirl and MOOCHAGOO.

YOU IS MOOCHAGOO.

How sad!

How many usernames did you have total? Just curiouss. :p

I have one username, but some people don't make comments to the thread started; that's why I asked who is off the hook?

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Dionysus.

Ahhh how can I forget curiousgirl/moochagoo/pirate's quest/contact?

That girl was so weird that if she was a active poster today, instead of three years ago, I would've thought she was someone's sockpuppet.

Ok Sorry!

Five. Which is not a lot, because Kitso, imthechamp, cashmoney, Q, VS, and the V's are ahead of me.

Yeah, I haven't seen cashmoney lately under his most recent name. The last one only lasted 2 or 3 posts... wonder where he's lurking....

*end of hijack*

*sniff* Yes, that was a beautiful moment (delicately dabbing at my eyes with a Kleenex)

Haha I have no idea what this thread is about, but whoever said "Is you blind?" just made me laugh out loud. Appreciated.

Shamika - What is "FINNIN"??? Is that like the southern women say "I'm fixin' to..."? And for you northerners, I think it means "getting ready to..."

From your profile on the left side...
Location: I'm finnin to change my username to BLU MAGIC. Cuz that will be it when I become a Z-E-T-A. Please believe it negro!

Re: Do you think people act different when they get into a organization?
 

Some people, actually quite a few people, treated me different when I pledged, and then after got in, I was ignored. So I treated them differently too.

Some people are simply just jerks, your non-greek friends will still be your friend if they are really your friend, with the question as stated however: I guess, I know I was a lot more confident in dealing with new people than before.

You answered your own question.

Fixin...fittin...finnin......

We northerners know that, thankyou. :p

I am one too! Sometimes north and south sound like different countrymen! (oh my God, did I just say an Earpism?!?!?)

I changed a lot through pledging, and who I associate with is directly tied to that.

You mean you prefer the company of your pledge brothers to others? Because I do.

That, and certain aspects of my personality cooled down, and others heated up. Plus I learned a lot and have a different outlook on my University.

Cool.

This is what I heard from a few of my non-Greek friends when I was pledging; that they had friends who changed (not for the better), that Greek life changed who they were, etc.

I can say I changed, but that was more of a growth in maturity as I went through college. Becoming friends with people from other parts of the country, getting involved with the operation of my chapter, doing volunteer work, juggling school with work and fraternity responsibilities: those were the reasons why I changed, and reasons why I think a lot of people "change" through their Greek experience.

Simply put:

Good grief, YES!

'Nuff said.

More plainly put, People will assimilate with those who they are with.

If they hang with BEMs, they will act like BEMs!:rolleyes:

Maybe I'm just ignorant, but what's a BEM?

I've been wondering that too. He's keeping it a secret.

I had never heard BEM before a few days ago reading a Piers Anthony novel. (I'm a big Sci-fi nerd and somehow didn't get around to reading him til recently). While I don't know if this is the same usage, in the book BEM was used (by a regular old 20th century American girl) to mean Bug Eyed Monster.

The details of the usage involve interdimensional travel and different evolutionary paths, but that's not needed here! :)

Yes I am!

Maybe one of these days I will let it Slip Out!:D

Just to show how assimilations may not work.

A Young Man who was a New Associate with one of Our Chapters was held back a semester and He was going to quit.

I found out the reason as I know the Advisor there. He would rather have been with His H S Buddys and miss funtions. He was a Townie.

So, He was held back. When He became more involved with The Chapter and The Members, He is now A Brother of Said Chapter.:cool:
