Need help with question
 

I know what NPHC sorority that I want to be intvited to. I also have done the reseach read all the books on that sorority. I need help with a respond for when they ask why I want to be apart of them. I just want to be able to express how bad i want to be a part of them without sounding desperate. I want to be a apart of them because of the service they have, almost every women in my life that has a postive affect on me has been in this sorority. also after seeing them on campus and going to all their events makes feel like I belong.

Well.....why do you want to be part of that sorority? :)

If someone else has to tell you a response to that question, then you don't want it bad enough. You ought to know.

Please.

Don't be so mean.... you mean old meanieeeeee. :D

I said please ... :p

I can't stand it when people can't tell the freaking difference between "a part" and "apart".

Two different meanings, people.

To the OP -- my advice? Go ask the members what OWT means. That'll get you in for sure!!!! :D

I'm sorry but if you do not know the answer to that basic question, then you will never know.

It's a gut feeling, a calling, almost... fate.

Okay, whose alter ego is this? :D

What makes you think that they are going to ask you that question anyway?

As an English teacher, I'm totally with you! I also have a problem when people don't know the difference between a noun and a verb--to RESPOND is an action, thusly a verb. A RESPONSE is the noun ol' girl needed! Where I think she belongs is remedial English OR a keyboarding class. :rolleyes:

I totally agree... and since we're talking English... it drives me nuts when people are past the 2nd grade and still aren't sure which form of you're/your their/there/they're to use. :o

........

You're right, I don't HAVE to. But now that I've chosen to, SO WHAT???

WHAT?? I'm not perfect? That's CRAZY TALK!! I'm so hip even my errors are correct.

Why? Every thing posted on a message board is subject to public praise AND ridicule. In this case, I chose the latter. What will you say if someone references your post and says that you should leave me alone for telling me to leave her alone? :rolleyes:

.......

Her feelings may be hurt here (I still think she is a troll,) but imagine how her feelings would be hurt if she turned in an application with such errors and was rejected right off the top?

At least she may learn something from her hurt feelings here.

*Why does the OP have so many caped crusaders?---hmmmmm*

.........

bIueangel, is this you???

The trolls have come out in full force to play. Let the games continue!

......

Stop drinking Kool-Aid.

.....

Have we met?




I didn't think so. So what do you know about me or the pleasures I get from anything? All of you people need to get over yourselves!!! What's your problem? Were you never picked to play kickball as a child or something?

Are YOU now harrassing ME? This is uncalled for and you're causing ME pain. Are you taking pleasure in that? What are you getting out of this?



See how silly that sounds? That's SO how you sound right now!

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. -- Willy Wonka

I was going to say something really mean, but because you and I share letters I'll spare you for now. A piece of advice?

Choose your battles wisely. :rolleyes:

........

I so humbly apologize to Babygirl, Mercer, and bIueangel for being so mean, immature and nasty. I accept my punishment.

And when I grow up, I want to be just like them--mature, non-judgemental, nice, sweet, and above all reproach.

ok children. Let's all play nice now. Either that or everyone play dirty and let's not have lectures about right and wrong. Just because some people think something is rude doesn't mean that other people do.


If you can't say something nice.... say what you really think and be prepared to deal with the concequences!

Are you sure? :D

Is that supposed to sound all big, bad and threatening? It's actually humorous. Though I have nothing to prove to the Deputy of the "Be Nice Patrol," just know that I have no need to have an Internet alter-ego and I keep it 100% here just as I do in "real life."

And, FTR, I'm not "scrambling" to defend anything because I don't feel that my comments were cruel. They were observations made in jest and if you can't interpret that, sit on it and spin. Oops? Was that cruel too? Geez! Some people...

I'm going to be nice, assume you aren't a troll, and say that you need to step away from GC and think on that yourself.

The support group 'Shid and I have been attending really works, you know. :eek:

Are you a member of "real life"? If so, you will find out that no one cares about your feelings as much as you do. If you can't stand the heat, get the hell outta the kitchen. You post at your own risk. :cool:

........

You're welcome, but I think she can defend herself.:cool:
*you can't save her, she don't want to be saved*:cool:

I know grammar really well Soror MzDiscreet, but I always mess up apart and a part. Educate me please. :D

[/HIJACK]

Typing/keyboarding errors are one thing. I'm sure plenty of us have typed "teh" when we intended to type "the" and from the context of what others type and what we read over, most of us accept that the odd missed keystroke and we carry on.

However, when the mistyped word causes the meaning to be the OPPOSITE of what was intended and someone writes that they want to be "apart" (i.e. excluded from consideration) from a group, as opposed to striving to "join" (i.e. become a part of) a member of that group, that is another thing entirely.

It reminds me of a certain GC'er who likes to write "foopah" to mean "faux pas". However, when I read "foopah", I think of "FUPA", which IMO, is just plain gross.

When and where are the meetings? I am finally ready to admit I have a problem. :o

apart = away from or aside

a part = a singular portion or segment of a whole, a singular role in a play/recital, or a single dividing line

:D

Can I just take a minute to point out that the OP was not so much asking for an answer to the question of "why XZY?" but some advice on how to present her answer without sounding desparate. I got the impression she was asking about style, not content.

Now, I am not in the D9, so I don't know if that is still an inappropriate thing to ask, but maybe she already knows that she doesn't have the most polished communication skills, and wants some help.

Need help with question
 

Am not asking for help with writing my respones just wanted to know what should I do so that I dont come off sounding like I have an attitude or rdesperate.

1) Write down what YOU feel is your ideal response to the question.

2) Find your closest MALE, NON-GREEK friend and read him your response.

3) Listen to what he says and revise accordingly.

[hijack] Hmmmmm, still waiting on that return call. [/hijack] :D

The OP originally posted in the DST forum about what does owt mean? That led to her being told to ask in a more approriate place. Then she asks the same question here.

Now she is asking a question relating to membership.

The NPHC forums state that they will not entertain questions relating to membership in their forums.

Now I know what is said about assumptions, but because of her previous posts I have assumed she is seeking membership in a NPHC sorority. Therefore, the question is inappropriate to us, and it seemed she was going around our rules by posting here.

If she is seeking membership in a NPC sorority, then I apologize and will keep quiet and let those GCers answer.
