BETs Step Show: Spring Bling '06

[Happydaysf91]

Yes we are being exploited ....AGAIN!

I didn't see the step show, but I did go to the BET website and look at the comments written there. Now, I'm not upset by the comments by the GDI's (because all they see are colors and stepping and don't know diddly about our organizations)......I'm moreso upset/moved by the comments by my fellow Greeks. Dissing/Disrepecting other organizations and etc. And we wonder why some people don't want to be part of our organizations....look how we act. Don't we all realize that we are part of Comunity Service Organizations...we all stand for the same thing....the only thing that really separates us all is our colors, rituals and perception to outsiders.

I thought I was going to scream reading all those posts by other Greeks saying that...the AKA's thought they were too pretty to step and they had on dresses; the Delta's step like men or they think they are Ques; What is an Iota; The Zeta's step like men; the Ques don't step..they stomp and etc.

I wish my older Greeks would school their younger frats/sorors. I know I do. I do not believe in putting down another organization and I try to correct my friends (in all organizations) that do. And yes, its done in fun...but sometimes it is not funny! A 'yo momma/daddy/sister' joke is funny at times, but at the wrong time to the wrong person in the wrong place under the wrong circumstances...its not!

What would our Founders think of our behavior? Competition is good, but disrespecting/name calling/not speaking to someone just because she has XYZ on/and etc. is not. It's all crazy! Maybe the big 3-0- is taking its toll on me...hopefully, most of us will grow out of this and realize the skin we are in counts for a lot this world, not the three letters on our shirts -- and we are all Black (for the most part). Until then, I hope and pray each night....that I never acted like that as an undergrad/young sister in the bond!

Greek Love!
