Theo,
Chill out bro...it's not that serious. So what somebody thought that the Alpha step team was better...maybe they were. WHO CARES? Personally I have pride in my frat and pride in being a black man as well. I have close friends and business partners who are kappa's and alpha's. That's REAL unity
. But when we're in a "greek" setting (i.e. greek chat room, stepshow, or just sittin' around bullshittin' about greek issues), I'll call my Alpha buddy a "Faggot-Ass Monkey" or I'll tell my Kappa buddy he's really in a "Historically WHITE Frat...Phi Nu Pi" (he hates that
). In addition, they'll call me a "Phi Beta Skater". But when we're not clowning each other we're working together.
To the outside world it just looks like an Alpha, a Kappa, and a Sigma who all HATE each other...but that's not the case. OUR DIFFERENCES ARE THE FUN PART! When it's time for business, we conduct business. (And it acutally HELPS that we're all greek cause if someone doesn't meet a deadline I can say "Damn, you Kappas sure are fuck ups!" And they can say the same to me which makes us work harder cause you've gotta "represent"). The key is to be mature enough to relax and take shots while you also give'em. My Alpha buddy knows he's not a faggot, my Kappa buddy knows he's not in a white frat, and I DAMN SURE know I didn't skate.
Now, as far as "unity" steps and stupid shit like that, I'm not surprised that it didn't work. I only want to step with Sigmas. And Ques only want to step with Ques, etc. BUT, in real life a Sigma and a Que will have NO problem making money together.
Bottomline...suck it up man! Greek unity exists to the extent that you want it to.
.........where's my bitter cup...I'm thristy
