Sure..
Crossed in the Fall of '93
no Mention of any other org at all at my Death March or Probate show..
It was all about displaying the history/culture/marches/knowledge we learned about Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
--- I also said that there was a time a place for everything..
and that's your YARD SHOW !!
And even then.. the Greeks on the campus of UAB at the time.. (Omega, Kappa, Alpha : no Sigma chapter till '95, no Iota Chapter or colony then or currently) more or less played the 'dozens' than got real personal.
For example, we said something during the Que Week yard show back in Spring '94 like "A.I.D.S. stands for Alpha In a Double-breasted Suit" as a punch line..
And in turn, during the Alpha and Kappa Week shows, both orgs would do their 'snaps' but it NEVER GOT PERSONAL LIKE - this person dropped line/applied for Frat XYZ, etc.. because back in the day, if someone applied for another Frat/Sorority, they didn't get a chance to pleadge anything else because the Frats/Sororities networked with each other in such a way that word got out before interest meetings that "that person was at our smoker"/"tea"/whatever you call it.
I can't believe that 'supposedly' 8 guys applied for Kappa and then applied and became members of Alpha.. How common is that kinda thing now-a-days?
PS... and Centuar, you might be right about that being common practice now..
I dj'd the SGRho crossing party last night at Club Ice in Birmingham. The SGRhos also brought their line out at the club because the yard got shut down by the school president due to the massive storm which ran thru Miss, Tenn, Alabama last night.
One SGRho was standing next to me during the come out show to direct me when to start the next music. The show was going great (to me) when the Neos stopped the show to 'personally' and 'organizationally' ( I know that's not a word) call out some/the Zetas by their full Gub'ment name.
I then quietly told the SGRho next to me, who I happened to know in passing through my wife who is the SGRho Grad Chapter Basillus that 'you don't call people out like that period, and definitely not at a come out/probate.
As we talked, I found out she and her line '04, called people out at their probate two years ago.. so NO TELLING HOW LONG THIS ISH HAS BEEN GOING ON...
All I can say now is that the Bruhs at my undergrad Chapter haven't subscribed to this practice and that Greeks everywhere need to start respecting each other a little more.
