It couldn't be  . I doubt if they get down like that. I think it's different between fraternities and sororities but I doubt seriously is sororities greet each other like that.

While we are on the subject.... I know an AKA and a Delta that are best friends and I've heard them call each other "Sorors". Now, call me ignorant if need be, but I thought that "soror" meant sorority sisters (i.e. the same organization). Like i said if others knew me to be wrong, excuse my ignorance.

I know that with myself and two of my very close Delta friends (one just happens to be more like a sister), we sometimes greet each other with a skee-oop or vice versa. We don't do that in public among a lot of other people and it's only done among the three of us. Not even on a regular basis. I would NEVER greet another Delta that way nor do I believe they will NEVER greet one of my sorors that way. I think that some people would be offended by that coming from a member of another sorority. We were close friends before any of us pledged so that is the ONLY reason it's acceptable among us.

Hey Soror SkeeWee14, one of my best friends from college is a Delta we both pledged our sororities the same semester. After we crossed, we began greeting each other with Oop-Skee and Skee-Oop. But like you said, we only did it when too many people weren't around. I also looked through an old photo album that the historian of my undergrad chapter had and the AKAs and Deltas on my campus had an "Oop-Skee" party years earlier.

I too have seen sororities greet each other this way. One of my closest friends is a Delta and has said O00P-Zee to me and I have switched it up and done it to her. We were friends long before either one of us had any organizational affiliation. It's not unheard of but like SkeeWee14 said, it's not something that's done on a regular basis.
I've never called someone in another organization Soror, and I have never heard it done, but I have heard people use the term Sister-Soror, it's just a way of showing a little bit of greek love.

It is wierd ot me, maybe because of the location but, a soror is anyone in a BGLO. People do not address eachother as such - I have heard, greek soror to refer to members or other org. I have never heard or seen anyone greet eachother with ooo-Phi, or what ever. Where are youguys from? In in NY. It would be cool to use the above mentioned but I just have not experienced it. In fact Even members of the same org. just say whatup and grip each other- We only use the grip. My Phi Beta Sigma sands and I have a grip- My A Phi A sand and I have a different grip. It is different for everybody- I amsurprised noone mentioned the different grips.
Peace

I have heard alot of different greeks greet each other as soror or frat regardless of oragnizational affiliaton. It makes sense to me being that when you are greek anyone that is greek should be your soror or frat. women in sororities tend to greet guys in fraternites by frat or just saying this is my frat brother so whats wrong with soroities doing it. they are all working torward the same goals in one way or another. I think it shows greek love and unity when one can consider all the greeks as their frats or sorors. The disinction being that greeks greet members of their own org. with their call.......and members of other greek org. with soror or frat. Well anyway thats how it is at my school. I have never heard the skee-oop or anything like that though. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist though.

I became friends with a Delta in college and she greeted me with skee-oop and I greeted her with ooop-skee. It was done when there weren't too many people around, but greeks greeting each other was not unheard of on our campus.

How do you greet each other....
I know that AKA's and Alpha's greet each other with Skee-Phi or Phi-Skee and AKA's greet Kappa's with Skee-yo and vice versa. How do Deltas and AKA's greet each other when they see each other? or other NPHC sororities and frat's? Just curious.

My bestfriend is an AKA and I am a Delta. We do not call each other SOROR that is ridiculous!!! We are friends, yes......the best of friends at that. I think that was very ignorant of that person to say soror. apparently they do not have a clear understanding of what it means.
As for how do we greet each other...hello, what's up, hi. if one chooses to they can do the skee-oop or ooop-skee, but my best friend and I choose not to. I do not know what her call means and she doesn't know what mine means, so why say it. it could mean anything. So i suggest to just say hi

The AKA's and Delta's on my campus are pretty close, so it is fairly common to hear a OOP-SKEE on the yard or a SKEE-OOP. We are also friendly with the Zeta's, but we don't greet them with a SkeeZee. Probably because they don't share a history with us like the Delta's.

Why would it be IGNORANT to call someone from another SORORITY (regardless of affiliation) "SOROR"! Shalom maybe you do not know the meaning. I know many greeks who do it. SOROR meaning SORORITY sister. SKEE-OOP is something unheard of in these parts. I suppose it is different every where.
