Prime example (true story), some black woman, who was either low income or homeless would sell Little Debbies snack cakes individually (the ones you would find in a 10-12 pack) at the corner of Broad and High (the heart of downtown Columbus) to get some change. Anyhow, she would approach me on the COTA bus and would proclaim to be my brother trying to BS her way into having me give her some change. But the only info she knew was that she went to Ohio State. Couldn't even tell me when she joined, she would just say she pledged at OSU. Needless to say, she didn't get a cent from me.

Something like that happened to me and my lb's. We were at a Service Project a Walk As One March to erase racism and bigotry. A man approached me and said hi I pledged Alpha Phi Omega in College. My lb pulled him close for the grip but he didn't grip nor did he say anything to let us know he was really frat. We were looking around at each other and I asked him when he pledged? He said around the early 80's (keep in mind we were being born around this time). I asked him where and he said U.T. Martin. I said Chi Zeta and he was like ummmmmm yeah. Then he went on to ask that's the Music thing right? I was like OMG...we just walked off. How the hell do you forget your chapter, what year you pledged, and what the frat's principles are???
Sorry had to vent...back to your post now.
