Top 10 Signs You Are A Die Hard Omega
 

About a month or so ago, there was a Strawberry Letter on Steve Harvey show, "Will the Real Omega Man Stand Up?" From that letter, my mind took a journey and created a la Steve's Top 10, Top 10 Signs You Are A Die Hard Omega. Of course there are more than 10 so I added honorable mentions.

Bruhs, this was created in love, not to throw stones. But of all the D9 fraternities, you all are the most demonstrative of your love for Omega, IMO. :) You all rep Omega so hard that it is hard not to notice.

I sent this as an e-mail to my Omega friends and they all agreed with me or said they have been tamed a bit. :)

Please feel free to pass along to other Omegas you know.

Soror, that is too funny. Especially #1. Roo to the Bruhs!

That was funny!
And I am dying at how I too....have committed some of the honorable mentions...

I'm guilty of some of those and it bothers me that I have so much purple gear. But we can't wear red so what is a dog to do.

Now what can we do for the Deltas...........?

One particular activity which could go on this list is the practice of camparing "hits"(ie, brands) when "die hard" Ques get together in some fraternal gatherings. It'a a bonding activity analagous to women comparing pocketbooks or shoes, I suppose!:)

Now that's funny - CTHU!!! :)

LMAO!! That is so true. You all tell how you got it, what you were wearing when you got it, who was there, and the sounds made when you got it.

A funny story about this particular "die hard" Que activity. On one occasion, when the "Omega oil" was flowing freely, a group of younger bruhs were comparing their "hits" with a bit of the male braggadoccio in play. In fun, one early '60s brother decided he wanted to shut them all up. He got up and went into the midst of this group, unzipped his pants and showed them his prized "hit." The younger bruhs scattered like the men who left the scene of the woman caught in adultery after Jesus wrote on the ground.There was no more conversation about hits!:)

:eek: :eek: :eek: OH MY DAYUM.:eek: :eek: :eek:

Like my West Indian friends would say - PARTY DONE!!!!!!

21. You show off your hits more than you show pictures of your kids. :o :p

LMAO, You all are killing me over here! Before I could recover from laughing at CT4s list here comes Wolfman with that branding story. That was too funny.

I learned a valuable lesson today- do not try and drink beverages or eat while you are reading GC posts because you never know what's around the corner.

OH MY.

Every Omega I know fits this profile.:D

Glad you ladies got a kick out of the story! This is a true story that I witnessed in my Que sojourn. Omega is the greatest fraternity because of the intensity of the male comradeship, love and sharing, combining extreme Christian belief and reprobate behaviour, sometimes by the same people!:) It's always interesting being a bruh! Not for the weak of heart, self-righeous or uncommitted!

I've just come back from visiting an Omega brother made in the '40s who's in a nursing facility due to a stroke he suffered a few years ago. The LORD put it on my heart to go see him today. His wife was there and we all talked and had a good time. Before I left, the brother, who was a genetics prof., was talking to me about pledging and his LBs. He struggled to tell me an "off-color" Que dog joke about sex that one of his LBs told him. He finallly got it out and we laughed. Ques are always young at heart with an indomitable "joie de vivre" of masculine sexuality and good humor.
