I always hated: "Why do you have 'EX' on your shirt?" Seriously, how many people do you know make their -e's like this?

Amazingly enough, I've never heard A-E-A OR the paying for your friends bit. (Aside from GC)
I did have someone once ask me if I was an Alpha Kappa Alpha. Because Sigma and Kappa are so similar, right?

No...it was someone who had obviously only been exposed to NPHC GLOs, and so to them, Alpha *funny Greek letter* Alpha just HAD to be AKA.
And I'm wearing a letter shirt today, and my 3 year old pointed to each letter and said "Alpha Sigma Alpha". As soon as she gets the English and Spanish alphabet down, we're moving on to the Greek one.

they couldn't have been exposed to all of us, because 3 of us have that "funny greek letter" in our names. peasants, all of them. 
i love it when folks "ask" you if you're a member while you're wearing 'nalia and hanging out with known members of your organization. i've been very tempted to respond, on more than on occasion, "no, i'm a very good perp."

"Are you an A-Chi-O?" Yeah, because omicron and chi look so similar...as do omega and pi right? IDIOTS!
"Did you get hazed?" My usual response, "Yes daily, hovever we only did pillow fights only on fridays that were even numbered dates though."

This didn't annoy me but made me laugh and go "Duh!"!!
After dating/being married to her son for years, my mom in law and I were in a bookstore so I could pick up some Alpha Gam stuff. She sees all the squirrels and knows that I've been collecting them for years (she's even given me some).
"So, are squirrels your mascot"?
No, but they're easier to find than chipmunks.
Just kidding!!

My grad chapter was at regionals this year and when we got to the hotel a guy in the lobby said, "What sorority are y'all in...What do you do...Do you like XYZ's...Oh, well my momma is a XYZ and don't make me have her come up here!"
He was obviously VERY ignorant and we were all standing there and didn't know what to say!
