Curious
 

Good morning Ladies of AKA and fellow Sisterfriends!!!

Question. And please don't take this the wrong way... I understand that there are a lot of people logging on to greekchat.com claiming to be a member of a sorority they truly aren't a member of... but why is it that some (not all) members of AKA here assume that everyone is lying when they come here to meet their sorority sisters? For example, I remember reading a couple of posts where someone doubted "SWEETAKA" and "SKEEOPATRA" but then later on acknowledged they were wrong. I guess my question is "Instead of suspecting the worse for your "claimed" sorority sisters, Moderator or any other known AKA's like DG or LadyAKA, etc., can't you have them e-mail you and you challenge them or something before putting out on a web page that you suspect they are a "perp" when indeed they may be an AKA?

Is there anyone who understands what I'm saying? I know I'm not a member but I feel sorry for real AKA's who get "downplayed" by other members because of people who "perp".

Sorry for the long post, and NO DISRESPECT INTENDED!!!

CaramelApple,

I see what you are saying, and I haven't taken what you said as disrespectful. However, we were not wrong about Skeeopatra. She was indeed a perp and once exposed has not returned (at least as Skeeopatra).

We have tried challenging people who we suspect, however, there are flaws in that. Say for example a perp is challenged or asked a question and does not know the answer or how to respond. Then, they go somewhere else pretending to be a soror and ask the same question they were asked, and a real soror gives them the answer. That is why it is very important for us to be extremely cautious when we challenge people over the internet. That is why we limit what we do ask in open forum, but may chat back and forth by e-mail.

We usually welcome sorors into the forum, no questions asked. However, if something gives us reason to question them then we do that. No one, regardless of their greek affiliation, likes it when someone pretends to be their soror or their frat. That is disrespectful. On the outside looking in, this is the impression that you have. However, once you are on the other side you begin to see things from a different perspective.

Although I may not always agree with everything posted by my sorors, because you are not a member, you may not realize that there are/have been things going on behind the scenes that cause members to question certain things. I do believe that email is the most discreet way to handle these matters, but many posters claiming Alpha Kappa Alpha and who sometimes leave perplexing messages, do not leave their email information and even after repeated requests to email one of us, do not do so.

CaramelApple1971 please refrain from using my name in this thread. If I have problems with a Soror or a supposed Soror (PERP) I discuss it on a private web site for Sorors Only. I have never joined in these reindeer games of trying to find a perp on this or any other public site (check back threads if you like). It’s not my style, I don’t have the time, and most importantly Alpha Kappa Alpha does not pay me to be AKA police. Though, I totally understand exactly what you are saying I don’t want my name associated with this mess. For those who perpetrate I could care less – I can’t stop you over the net! BUT just know that what is done in the dark will eventually come to light.
Thanks and I hope you understand.

Sorors AKAtude and DG, I know yall understand what I am saying we can talk about this personally.....

Sisterly LadyAKA

I think you got the wrong interpertation of my using your name. I wasn't stating that YOU were the one who is always accusing someone of "perping". I was simply saying that everyone here knows that YOU, DG, and AKAtude are truly AKA's and y'all should work together to make sure that ladies (or men http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif ) are indeed who they say they are.

I am pretty positive that this topic was started secondary to the post of babysis so I feel that I must reply. I understand why my sorors said what they said and reacted the way that they did. This is why I asked that some corrections be made by the sorors who posted a quote from babyis to the correct post from me A NEW BEGINNING so women who are not a part of a sorority will not get wrong ideas. Because they do not understand until you are a member why it is imperative to know who is truly a soror.

CaramelApple,

We do work together, but just not on this open forum. It's all done behind the scenes as my Soror DG stated earlier. We communicate constantly throughout the day, but via e-maiL.

Thanks AKAtude for the clarification http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif. Y'all have a wonderful afternoon.

Dearest Diarra:

I appreciate you responding to my post. However, I know for a FACT (smile AKAtude) that if this shouldn't be an issue I should address it would have been deleted. I'm sorry you feel this way but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I was just curious, so I asked.

I'm glad CaramelApple brought up the topic because other people who monitor this board silently may have been thinking the same thing. Not only can perps be annoying for us to deal with, they can also give incorrect or misleading information to sisterfriends who take them at their word. Also, any suggestions that anyone may have is always welcome. CaramelApple suggested we use e-mail or challenge those we suspect. Now, she knows that we have thoroughly thought through those ideas before.

some things are priceless http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

The End...Or will I have to lock this one, too?

Ms AKAtude:

You can close this topic. I pretty much understand now and would hate to see this turn into something that is not affiliated with my original post. Thanks again to all who gave me an answer.

P.S. I's a SENIOR MEMBER now!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

PositivelyAKA can you post your email address or send me and e-mail so that I may then reply to your last post thanks!

Black women can work together http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks everyone for the clarifications....

CaramelApple1971 you had me ROFL when you stated the 'or men' bit. I have learned not to take things to heart....peace yall!

Sisterly


ADDED: SF Diarra I think we are all through with this and are making light of it now. We, sorors have it in control, but thanks for your advice!
