That is *not* cute at all.... Soror needs to school her legacy.
My niece
knows she better not think to play with my sign or call. I've always told her it's for "duly inducted members only". The sad thing is it didn't click for her until she was able to see my sorors and myself win first place in the alumni step show.
I wish it would make sense with a community service project, but I know she's finding a parallel in her own life because she was stepping in elementary school.
BTW, for anyone still thinking it's not a big deal, consider this. My niece, who I honestly love and adore, answered the phone when I called my sis-in-law (AKA) to wish her Happy Founders Day. My niece asked me, "Aren't you going to wish me a Happy Founders Day?"
Just big and bold like it was really her Founders Day, too! Never mind that she hadn't given the phone to her mom yet.
I had to gently advise the overeager one, "Not until you're a duly inducted member of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Until then, just enjoy knowing that you know it's Founders Day." She was mad, but I'm hoping she learned something.
