[Empress0105]

Let me go by saying my name is Terri White. 16-Alpha Eta-2004.


*I* am a reactivating member of GSS at howard (I'm glad some of you know my LSs)...in fact *I* was the reactivating president. *I* personally was told by both male and female members of APO that I would be beat up if I conintued with this, and *I* stood outside of my interest meeting listening to letter clad APO chicks tell me my org was going to fail. I watched as the same org that had just faced flack from the Alpha and Ques cause flack for me and my LSs....it's funny how time forgets....I know names and specific events, if you like I can PM you and tell you.


but


second fiddle to APO sweethearts?? maybe you haven't talked to your own alumni recently, but to be a APO sweetheart pretty much was a stepping stone to do gamma sig or a D9 (as so many of the non D9 at Howard have become...don't front, you know why so many people ruch Delta Sigma Pi and Phi Sigma Pi.....or join campus pals or circle k....etc)i don't know what warped twisted history you all have been fed, but that was not the way sweethearts worked back in the day at HU...REGARDLESS of the org, so your statement is null void. question, does that mean that our noble nights of maroon and white were trumping in on your alumni?? cause there are SEVERAL NKOMAW pictures in Bison yearbooks...and we still have Knights to this day (in fact, more than 30)

maybe you should visit mooreland springarn and just look at old year books....better yet, ask swygert about his days as an a phi que...cause MY chapter charterers and alumni have many pictures and scrapbooks showing him and countless other bruhs at picnics and service projects TOGETHER with gamma sig....the main project they worked on was volunteering at a now defunct orphanage that used to be near campus...but then again, that's becaue alumni from ALL generations of Alpha Eta come back and support us....50s 60s 70s and 80s......Alpha Eta is the chapter that brough GSS it's first (if not only) African American "Woman of the Year", and notable soror Jessye Norman (SP64) BEFORE she did SAI or AKA. so please, as a howardite, don't ever question Gamma Sigs role and function on HUs campus...cause if you WANT the history lesson, I will gladly guide you to our next informational...


please, i know PLENTY of APO chicks (hell my cousin was one), and those that were my friends before we joined greek stuff are still my friends.....but i have heard both men and women in APO downplay GSS and the culture of being a gamma sig ever since high school (when I was talking to a young man who was an APO from another local school...see you are gonna have me log onto my old collegeclub account and remember his name!!) so yeah, I give APO the sideways glance when it comes to co-ed ness...I still remember a very specific APO chic who contacted our national officers trying to say we were wearing the shield as a colony (good thing I talked to sharon almost everyday so she knew that as bogus) hell...even when one of them became Pan Hell, she and her anti-GSS recruits talked mess on us in the edcation sessions of her D9 org....cause SEVERAL of my friends on that line told me about that.....


for all the men on here....the ones who call me and my sorors "soror" and want us to call them "bruh"...you can't play both sides of the fence...you can't be all about 25/52 but then tell us that you don't have to care about us in the next breath....you can't roll up to the picnic sans female brothers where you know chic APOs will get the weird looks, but then tell us we are wrong for thinking we have a bond with ya'll....i would have no problem calling a chic my bruh....but when that same chic will go and tell a prospect that GSS isn't anything, then yeah, i have an issue with that. i had one person tell me that my call was a ghetto remix of an AKA and Delta call.....yeah, and she was zeta phi. and for everyone who says we aren't officially brother and sisters, yeah we know....but tell that to the deltas and the ques, and the alphas and akas, sai and sinfonians.......just cuase there isn't an official bond doesn't mean a brother and sisterhood doesn't exsist...maybe just not at YOUR school


and like i said.....this APO topic was posted in my GSS forum (that someone obviously thought meant something to us as the org that isn't affilated and you all don't care about remember), so even though my opinion doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, when it gets posted in my neck of the woods, expect an answer.....
