Internet Friendships

Have you made any internet friendships other then your Sorors or Frat? What were you experiences?
I have made some great contacts online, which surprised me because I was an online critic, especially in regard to dating. I joined a group of Chicagoland Black BBW's(consisting of about 15), who was there for me last year during difficult times. I even gave a party for them at my home. We go to the riverboat, plays, etc. Friends I'll have a lifetime I would imagine.

That's wonderful!

Basically the 'ships that I have are in the realm of the "Phirst Phamily". I am really looking forward to actually meeting MANY of my peeps this Fall, hopefully, if the Lord says the same! LOL

AND, hopefully, if peeps decide to come down for Bayou Classic, my doors are always open!

(Just let a sista know ahead of time)

Oh, to my non-Phirst Pham peeps (the peeps across the way) and Sfs out there, I have enjoyed our convos. The offer is open to you as well!

I don't discriminate!

Can I be honest here?

I've formed many friendships via the net and it seems the majority were formed because of a interest in Alpha Kappa Alpha but it's streched far beyond that....Man I've met so many goofballs and I'm so glad I have! You all are NUTS!!!!

Even if I never make it to a level of greekdom the org has brought many wonderful people into my life. I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Yeah, I have a few. My favorite happens to be from the dirty south too. Guess who?

I too have developed "friendships" with SFs who are striving for the same thing as me. We support each other, give advice, encouragement,etc. However, I don't think I would feel comfortable meeting them. I know it sounds strange, but it's easier telling a complete stranger my deepest thoughts, than my girlfriend whom I've known for a long time. I wonder why?

Um, I just want to know, um, who's a goofball???

Anyway, the majority of the friendships I've made on line have been Sorors (and one Delta

). But I have made a couple of non-Greek buddies, and I love chatting with them, oh the hilarity!!!!!!!

All of my internet friendships have been with fellow sisterfriends. Since then, they have become memberfriends, which was a little bit hard for me at first, since I am still striving. However, I am extremely happy for them and rejoice in the fact that they have finally achieved their goal. I really appreciate those friendships that have blossomed from our common interest and I look forward to making more.

Most of the Internet friends I have made are sisterfriends. A few of them have gone on to become members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Some of them (including myself) are still striving. But I would not trade any of my internet SF for anything in the world

On a more intersting note, I met my "boo" (LOL) online over 2 years ago. Dunno what the future holds, but our meeting was magical and since then life has not been dull!
