I pledged in the Midwest and heard the term "Red" used once by a Que I met at a party not too long after I crossed. He asked me where the other "Reds" were, and my first instinct was to assume that he was referring to light skinned sistahs (I'm a light skinned sistah and have been called "Red" by men on several occasions). When I realized that he was referring to the Deltas, I almost had to laugh at myself. I wasn't offended since I knew he meant no disrespect, but it's definitely not a name I would respond to on a regular basis. Usually when a man calls me "Red", he doesn't get the time of day.
