Baffled.........
First of all Ladies, Hello and Happy Tuesday,
I am so extremely disappointed, I studied and studied it seem as for like the last 3 week for this test and I just knew that I passed with flying colors....got my scores back today and I almost cried right there in class. But I guess I just need to suck it up and study harder, finals are right around the corner.
Anyway, the purpose of my post is that something very baffling occured to me today. During my free period today I was sitting in a little side canteen room and this girl came in an sat at my table. She was very nice and we chatted for a few minutes. Anyhoo, she was caucasion, and she had on a T-shirt that said
"AKAs Love The SC House"
So I politely asked if she was an AKA. She said yes. So later I asked her where did she pledge. She was like "huh?", I said "what school did you join the sorority at?" she was like "I am not in a sorority" So needless to say I am stumped...so I was like you are not an ALpha Kappa ALpha? No, she said. I asked her where she got the shirt from and she said a former roomie of hers was a page at the South Carolina HOuse of Representatives, and she just happened to have come across the shirt and she was wearing it. So I explained that AKA was a sorority and although there are some caucasian members, it's is very rare. So she was like "Oh that's why I have been getting funny looks, I thought that an AKA was a nickname for the page's at the House of rep., after a while I just started saying yes when people asked me was I an AKA" I said " well you might not want to tell anyone else that, and you may want to rethink wearing that shirt" (I said it very polite, I wasn't overbearing being that I am not a member). She was like "No, this shirt is comfortable, people can just think what they may, I dont care!!" So I was like "OK and left it at that, I didn't think I had any bearing to go any furthur. But if you saw a person wearing a shirt like this wouldn't you automatically assume they were a member...I mean if I wore a shirt that said "Blondes have more fun" I would get funny looks b/c Im not a blonde. Feel me???
Has anyone ever saw a shirt like this??
Sorry for the long post but it was hard to condense this story...
