Okay lastpoetinsite-
You want to know the real reason why I get nasty with some girls that post on a board for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc? And I can only speak for myself. Because it is easy. Maybe I am testing. Maybe I want to see their valued self worth. Maybe I want to "yank" their chain. Whatever the reason, I want to "probe" deeper into the recesses of their mind to see where they are coming from or what is really going on in there. I think we stay on this nice and fluffy surface and I choose not to live my life that way. There are some people I will never do that to. There are others that walk into it.
Usually, what sets me off is when a person bashes my Sorority, or any HBGLO sorority. Or when there are issues that come to race and racism. Or when some of the college students are having trouble defending themselves--I feel compelled to step in on their behalf because I am a lot older. Most of the time, I make jokes. However, when I have to put a person in check or as my college kids say, "holla" then I take it on. It's my choice. I can always drop out because I'm really not getting paid for my advice...
Other times, when I "push buttons" I want to really learn what's really going on. I ask, "Who is this person that is coming up in here wrecking havoc?" And personally, I didn't have a problem with chicky, VS (eh, it may be a man Soror AKAtude
). I have yet to care what some say. It doesn't pay my light bill... Sometimes, the hard, rude and ugly questions and responses have to be made. C'est la vie.
I can tell you this. And this is not even close to a joke. If you were to decide to pursue graduate school for a Ph.D., especially in science, the professors, even your major professor
WILL be ugly toward you. I don't care how good you are. Just about everyone I know who has gone thru a Ph.D. program has lamented on it's difficulty. That is why there are so few people with Ph.D.'s And I havta admit, pledging Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. helped me sooooo much to understand that aspect. Moreover, my big sister couldn't have said it clearer, "I wish I could pledge again, that was the easy part."
And when a girl decides to bash my Sorority, I guess it hurts a lot of us because of the fond memories we had as undergraduates. ('Cuz most of the bashing comes from undergraduate interests). It hurts us that someone would think so little of my Sorority and say such ugly things no matter how they qualify it, e.g. "I know this is not the whole sorority, but..." These bashers are still talking about my Sorors. I made a pledge to ALL Sorors and I have to uphold it and I take my sisterhood vows skeriously. Yes, I love my Pink and Green and my pearls!!! And it is beyond me that one does not respect that, skeriously. So, that's why I come right back, remove all the BS and go for the jugular--to either squash it or to see what the mentality is... That's just me.
