The Greek After Life (Heaven and Hell)

>After living a full life and being as fraternal as possible a proud
>member of Alpha Phi Alpha dies. When he got to heaven, God was showing him
>around. They came to a modest little house with a faded A-Phi-A Crest in
>the
>window. "This house is yours for eternity," said God. "This is very
>special;
>not everyone gets a house up here."
>
>The A-Phi-A felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his
>way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It
>was a 3-story mansion with a Gold carpet rolled on the pathway, 50 foot
>tall Purple and Gold statue with the enormous letters OMEGA PSI PHI, and in
>every window, there was OMEGA paraphernalia.
>The Alpha Phi Alpha looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be
>ungrateful, but I have a question. I was a good citizen, I serve my
>country well, and I did the best I could for my people and my fraternity."
>God asked, "So what do you want to know?"
> "Well, why do the Omegas get a better house than me?"
>God chuckled and said, "That's my House."
>
>Once upon a day it was time for Sweet Nupe of (kappa Alpha Psi) to go to
>Hell.
>He knew he was going to Hell for being so conceited all the wrong he had
>done. Sweet Nupe had forgot his friends and family once he made some cash
>as
>a car salesmen.
>To get to Hell the Sweet Nupe had to take a Red elevator down. The doors of
>the Red elevator pop opened at the floor name Red Land. Satan himself was
>there dressed in Red from head to Toe to greet Sweet Nupe. Satan said sup
>Frat as Sweet Nupe stepped into Hell. Soon as the Sweet Nupe stepped off
>the
>elevator a gang of Ques rolled on the elevator screaming Be Out Team!!! In
>amazement the Sweet Nupe asked his Frat Brother Satan I bet there are a lot
>Ques down here and where are they going in such a rush? Satin shook his

>as he was about to cry those big Red tears, no Frat there aren't many Ques
>here at all. We had to give them a second chance at life. Those aren't just
>Ques their called the Bruhz. The Bruhz had been here for about a week and
>Hell ain't the same no more. The Bruhz were always wrestling each other,
>ripping off peoples shirts, just tearing everything the hell up down here.
>Damm I didn't know what to do with them. If the Bruhz weren't Drinking that

Ever heard of a joke? Most Honorable Founder E.A. Love was in the Army. I'm sure that he has heard a few and told a few himself in his day. Plus, being the original Que, he had to have a sense of humor.

Team,

Some people just don't get it. You make a simple joke about something or someone and they take it like we are trying to tear each other down or have malicious intent.

It sounds like the whole flack over the movie 'Barbershop.' It's just jokes ya'll....... spend your time complaining about some worthy causes...... not over some playful intra-NPHC jest.

ROOOO

I know that this post is kinda old and that I should let it drop but I cant help myself. Maybe I'll get a response if not it doesn't really matter.

Okay, I realize it was a joke giving honor to your fraternity or whatever, but can you understand how many Christians we get offended by reading something like that. I mean maybe I am strict or old fashion but GOD to me is not a laughing matter, no matter what. I mean if I disrespected Omega, I know yall would be all over it. I realize again that its just jokes and its not like yall are trying to hurt anyone but at the same time, people have to be respectful of other peoples sensitivities. Especially, when it deals with religion.

Newbie, I would never disrespect my Lord and Saviour, nor would I disrespect my chosen way of life. The joke was not about God, nor anyones faith, it was about da Bruhz, an obvious parody of our sometimes reputation. Why anyone would find that this discredits the Almighty in any way leads me too the conclusion that either the protesters are "holier than thou", too sensitive", or are just looking for something to be offended about. Whether the reader finds it funny or not, is in the eye of the beholder, but it is not sacriligious.

Okay, maybe I fall into the category of too sensitive, but I don't see anything wrong with that. When you care about something you are entitled to be sensitive about it, even if others might not understand. I understood that the joke was about the omega's notorious reputation but why even say GOD was an Omega? Why say the devil was a kappa? That's the part that offends me, not saying, again, that someone wrote it to intention bother some overly protective Christians, but still, when you write something and post it in a public forum that anyone can read and its about GOD, people are going to respond no matter what.

I am not picking on Omega Psi Phi, or anything. Honestly, I get offended by all of the Divine nine, "GOD made a women and called her ABC or GOD was a XYZ, crap." I mean you are not supposed to take the name of the Lord in vain and I don't think HE would find it funny, but like you said thats in the eye of the reader. I hope I clarified exactly why things like this aren't accepted everywhere, and who knows maybe people will find other ways describe their orgs while still honoring other people's beliefs.

I can accept that and your right to your religious sensibilities is duly noted. Again, no offense was meant to God or any org, it was simply a joke, not about God, Christianity, or the Kappas. The joke was on the Bruhz and I'm sure that Greeks who engage in good-natured rivalry understand the concept.

I would respectfully submit that if one is anti-Greek, or finds Greek life incompatible with Christianity, or having fun riles one's sensitivities, hanging out where Greeks congregate, may ruffle your feathers on occassion.

NewBee,

I didn't want you to think that you were being overly sensitive. I also thought the post was in bad taste and was offended. I just ignored it though, realizing that when you live in a time where so many people don't take Christianity or God seriously, you can see mess like that everyday. I applaud you speaking out on it, and once again, you're not alone.
