What about Sorors who...
 

What's Up Frat:

Much love to my bruhs of Omega Psi Phi and (of course) the DevaSTating Sorors of DST:

Just a question for the Bruhs and Sorors:

What do you think of Sorors who choose not to give "love" to the bruhs. I know some Sorors who feel it is their prerogative to hug the bruhs or not hug the bruhs.

Do you think the bruhs should feel "entitled" to get love from Sorors regardless of what type of "ordeals" Sorors may have had with bruhs in the past.

I know some Sorors who would prefer the bruh not put his leg up/lick her ears when she is going to hug him. As a result, she may feel awckward hugging the bruhs...period.

Is this a problem to bruhs?

Sorors, how do you feel?

It is the prerogative of the sorors whether or not they wish to have any type of relationship with the bruhs. This is tradition, but not something that we are obligated to participate in.
Having said that, it should be known and understood that the bruhs love the sorors and the bond that we have. I recognize that sorors may have had negative experiences with SOME bruhs. Fact is, bruhs have had some bad experinces with other bruhs. Certainly there are bad apples in every bunch. Overall bruhs have nothing but respect for sorors.

Also understand that the bruhs are very close. We show love in a lot of different ways. That is not to say that ear licking and the like is acceptable, but don't expect every bruh to act like that. We love you. Let a bruh know that you want a hug that won't get you pregnant. If you don't want hug him then don't. Be nice in spite of someone that is not be civil.

I have nothing but love for the sorors and I hate it when sorors have a bad impression of the bruhs, but I do understand. Let keep the bond strong.

and I'm gone

Thanks Frat for you sincere response. I agree wholeheartedly.

PEACE

Deltabrat: never fear the Bruhs, its all love. Of course there are some ignorant Bruhs (stay away from the drunk ones and you will be fine) I love the Sorors (can I say that?) and I always greet them with a "friendly" hug. Never heard of the earlick or giving a Red the "leg". ROOOO Dyhardque.

What's Up DoggyStyle?

Don't get me wrong. I love the Bruhs. It's just that i have seen this before and have read about it in another thread.

I agree that the drunken Bruhs are to be approached with caution, but otherwise it's all good. I have gotten my ears licked before, but I haven't written the Bruhs off as just overboard, to the point wehre I would not want to "give love" anymore.

Anyway, just wanted to clarify.

PEACE.

To Everyone...we have very inteliigent Frat and Sorors around these parts. Post interesting topics PLEASE...I would love to respond and be a part.

LOL!! True words of wisdom!

SexyMocha, what a nice name. You must know how hyped and "friendly" (passionate?) bruhs are to begin with. Add a little (or a lot) of brew and/or Omega Oil, and the naturally rambunctious Bruh becomes especially hard to handle. Present company excluded of course!!!

Hyped and friendly is putting it mildly! I don't know what Omega Oil is, but there should be some kind of bill passed prohibiting the mixing of Ques and alcohol http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. I've been around my share of Omegas, and as charming and intelligent as I know you men are http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif...you guys can get just a wee bit out of hand at times! (Present company excluded of course!)

Mocha, you are crazy girl! I don't even want to know what Omega Oil is!

Cream Puff and Mocha, you mean to tell me that you have never been to The Omega Drip sponsored by Epsilon Chapter?. The Drip is flowing with Omega Oil. Suffice it to say, Omega Oil is a libation that enhances that "nothin but the Dog in me attitude"

No, I have never been to The Omega Drip http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif...but thanks for explaining what Omega Oil is! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

This is an interesting question, Soror! I am one of those old fashioned, southern Sorors (Mississippi native) who is all about Coleman Love. However, I pledged in Ohio, and up here many Sorors stand firmly by the protocol that says that we have no bond or official sibling relationship with Omega Psi Phi.

Shortly after I crossed, my chapter advisor and one of my Bigs "told me off" when I was telling them how much love the bruhs at a nearby school had shown me when they found out I'd just crossed. I told them that the bruhs were caling me "soror" and giving me tight hugs; basically both my advisor and my Big told me that I have no respect for Delta if I let someone who is not a Delta call me "Soror." They also told me that it was ridiculous of me to let some Ques disrespect me by hugging on me! I took heed to their comments, knowing that they were just looking out for the best interest of a neo. Still, I ultimately made the decision to keep tradition alive by giving and receiving Coleman Love wherever I go. Besides, having studied five LONG years of Latin, I know that "soror" simply means "sister." And I'd like to think that I am deemed a sister by every black man and woman in this world!

This is an issue for Deltas everywhere, and I know it has bothered many of our Omega brothers who, like me, see the Que-Delta bond as a way of greek life. We know we're not constitutionally bound, but we do it out of tradition-- it's one of the very few positive traditions we have left since pledging has gone so out-of-wack. In my opinion it is harmless, but many sorors think it's wrong. Those of us who don't are often scorned or looked down on by those sorors who have a problem with it.

Fact is, we won't always agree on every little greek detail about our organizations. I am just happy when we agree to join together and carry out our goals and missions, virtues and oaths for the good of the communities we serve. Both the members fo Delta Sigma Theta AND the members of Omega Psi Phi have done an EXCELLENT job of that, and that's all that REALLY matters! I have nothing but MAD LOVE for the Sorors who aren't with that Coleman Love thang, but trust me when I say "OOP-ROO" forever and always!

Soror:

Very well said.

Most of the Sorors that I have met from Ohio show mad love for the Bruhs (Univ of Cincinnati, especially) However, many protocol restricted members seemed to be bothered by the love. I think that they have a problem with informality and the lack of there being any constitutional or formal bond. I know of other Deltas (hostess of another forum especially) who dislikes Coleman Love and our shared history. Share the love. It was abundant in Chicago!!!!

I have nothing but love for my Sorors and the Bruhs. We have a strong history together. In knowing our history we would understand why there is so much love and so many connections with the Bruhs. Of course it is one's choice to live the way they want to live do what they want, but i don't find there to be any harm in showing the Bruhs love and greeting and hugging them when you see them. Where I'm from its kind of disrespectful not to show love from both ends. Many feel the Bruhs are over bearing but to get to know them is to love them and to know that they have your back.
