See, that's what I'm talking about, AKA_Monet!! LOVE! Yeah, I know us brothers look good in black n' gold, especially when I'm wearin' my black tux with my gold vest and bowtie.
Speaking from experience, I've had my fun being an Alpha but if I could live life over would I cross them burning sands again? Well, lets just say I wouldn't have a stroke by some freak of nature I didn't make it through. But, hey, I'm proud to say aaaaaaaalllll of my heaaaaaaaart, and my sooooooooul belongs to A PHI AAAA!!
As for SKEEphi:
Once again, thank you but I don't need any clarification. As I said before, I read your post several times, and your message came across quite clearly. That one comment you made about not having a requirement for a GLO guy was counterbalanced by the rest of your post, which I chose to expound on from a different perspective--that's all--no more, no less.

Phrat--
I think what my Soror Skeephistakated is saying is more on the lines that when you hook up with someone from part of the d9--because we all do want to make that distinction here--there have been several discussions regarding other organizations that are not part of the d9 and are a part of other councils--which is cool if that's the route folks wanna go, but for the sake of this discussion, let's just keep it in the d9, that one knows what one is getting himself or herself into...
Like you know when your significant other is gonna go buckwild when a special song plays at a dance... Or when folks are all up in a crowd--like at a step show.
When one is not in the d9, you don't know how it feels to be a part of that group. You may feel included, no matter what your friends who are a part of that group say to you, it just is different. You're an outsider... Regardless...
For some folks it's a big thing... For others, they could care less... I know I can NEVER ask my husband to attend an all Alpha event even though I come from a phirst phamily... Even though my father is National Life Membership Chair for Alpha... That breaks my heart because I grew up in the house of Alpha. Yeah, I can go by myself in my formal to all the events... But, no way am I going without my husband--he just does not like greeks, period... He's a GDI and that's final for him...
Now, I have older sorors who's husbands are Mr. AKA--come with them to EVERYTHING... But it's different for the Fraternity thing and men. Don't ask me why it is so...
Also just with everything else, you get a whole bunch of "high performance" bruhs out there, you are gonna get your groupies--just the name of the game... Something 'bout having "powerhouse" bruhs that are making things happen... Just activates all kinna female pheremones--like the AXE commercial...
