Nalia shops
Greeks, we really need to take a stand against these 'nalia shops who don't give a rat's behind about the preservation of our orgs' traditions and incorporated status! Contrary to how some of us act and how we're perceived by non-greeks, the BGLO is not a social club--it is a BUSINESS (hence "INCORPORATED").
I had yet another run-in with the ultra-ignorant, super-racist owner of Spirit Concepts in Columbus, Ohio! He had the nerve to get pissed at me because I would not tell him my chapter's crossing date. I told him--"that's CLASSIFIED" and he responded-- "Well if you people won't tell me when you're bringing in new members, don't be mad when I don't have anything in stock." Well, the sad part is that the little bit (and I do mena little bit) that he does have is JUNK that no real, honorable greek would be caught dead wearing! He has NPHC 'nalia with our letters in chinese and lowercase; with Delta ribbon on grateful dead bears and the shield on shot glasses. And even that crap is too expensive! The decent stuff he has is so overpriced that, just outta principal you don't want to buy it. And, all that trippin and nastiness, and he doesn't even specialize in designing jackets and other gear. He'll do it, but he actuallu sends that stuff to someone else to do, hence the multi-week turn-around and the sky-high price he charges for it! On top of that, his attitude is straight STANK! There's nothing more repulsive and anger-inducing than a WHITE store owner selling BLACK GREEK stuff who KNOWS we don't have anywhere else to shop within a 300 mile radius. You'd better believe I'll either get it online, at conventions, buy it when I travel, or just do without it before I buy so much as DST window sticker from him ever again!
Sorors, Bruhs,a nd fellow NPHC greeks--let's not be so desparate for 'nalia that we give our money to people like him!
