You feel me?

Am I going to get sued for sexual harrassment if I say "yes" to the "feel me" part?
That was just a joke for anyone who may not catch it
That part, about the pure & innocent routine, I do wholeheartedly understand. But I just don't see how a person (being non-greek) is supposed to know or not know whether to or not to ask a question (geez...now I've got the lawyer speak going on
) I think it is obvious sometimes (such as the "what does your crest mean" kind of thing), but others aren't so obvious (like for me the colors thing because the choosing of our colors is not secret info). The whole point of me even contributing to any of this is I just don't want a non-greek to be turned off (by comments like "happy now?" and other intended sarcastic remarks) and decide to revert to the stereotypical image of greeks (that we're too good for anyone, we're all snotty, etc.) AKAtude even said she was being sarcastic and said this was being direct for her. I just try to speak to people the way I would want to be spoken to, whether on the internet, phone, in person, whatever. But thank you for your comments - you have helped further my understanding of this issue
