it really is embarassing. its not something you will get quizzed on formally, but you need to know that when you meet other greeks! i have 2 stories (and this is probably more the idiocy of the people involved, but still the moral being: learn your effing greek alphabet):
1. a neo of another sorority asked me what my letters read. she said something like "i know what the Sigma is, but what are you, Sigma Something Pi?"
without thinking, i blurted, "what the hell kinda process did you have, you dont know your greek alphabet?" and her response was "yeah... alpha, ______, _______, _______, omega" (i dont wanna call out the org)
2. two girls (dont know which org) approached a Kappa and asked him if his "Psi" was an "upsilon" or an "epsilon." he kinda gave them a "WTF" look and then they said, "so which letter stands for Nupe?"
of course, many points i can make from this tomfoolery... greek alphabet is something you need to know from the jump. its just so embarassing when you can't identify other chapters, let alone other organizations. i was embarassed to answer them (cause that answer that girl in #1 gave me, while cutesy, was BS and her chapter members should be ashamed, and in #2, well them girls just made an @ss of themselves - those arent questions you should be asking if you are greek).
