Shanita,

I have really grown tired of you stalking my each and every post on every Greek board I go to as well as Facebook. It's not cute. Your mission in life is NOT to sniff after me and post your comments after everything I say.

Since you seem to have a problem with everything I type, by all means ignore me as I've ignored you since GreekPeeps.

For whatever reason that you're bitter and miserable, please leave me out of it. I generally LOVE my life and enjoy passing the time on message boards.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

Thanks.

Wow. This post is what seems "bitter and miserable." I made an observation, based on what YOU wrote. Look at the number of my posts that reference, or quote yours, and re-evaluate what you just posted. Do the math. I do not stalk your post. However, I will call BS if I see it. And I saw it it in bright, flashing, flaming-even neon colors.

Per this thread about current "traditions" I have a suggestion for y'all:take this squabble offline and have a "wreck session." The "green" is the way to settle this!

Roo!

LOL, but I don't fight. And I certainly wouldn't entertain fighting a man.

This is a scene from Howard Univ. in the 1950s. Pictured are Ques and a coed. Note the "beanies," a fairly common item for Black Greeks at the time. This is a tradition but would current members of BGLOs today understand this? (Personally, I like the style.)

I think the beanies were popular across many GLO's at that time. I remember an alumna on our Housing Corp. showing us her purple beanie.

Exactly. There's always been cross-pollination across GLOs in terms of trends in dress and other traditions. This is nothing new. A diachronic look at this phenomenon will put to rest the "exclusivist" notion about certain things of this nature.

I have seen sweaters circa 1950's through the late 60's or early 70's. I think the beanies migrated into caps as time went on. I think both my grandfather and father had beanies. My mother did not and she pledged the Pi Chapter at Fisk University.

Looking through my parent's Fiskites yearbooks, I do distinctly remember they made all the men who pledged Omega shave their heads and that was early 1960's. In the Bethune-Cookman books that are circa 1970's I saw the line ups based on height of all the pledges.
