2. So, what were you taking notes of everyone's reactions and the chapter and organization that they were from?

3. Watch your mouth calling my sorors' stroll ghetto.

1. Yep. It was real boring. We did nothing but watch the stroll all night and make comments on it. We didn't get outta there til 3 in the morning.

2. Of course. I interviewed each individual one by one as they watched, then collectively as a group. I have to make sure my research paper for GC101 is done accordingly.

3. Oh my word. Did I say ghetto? That was the most elegant AKA stroll I have ever seen in my life. It had all the standard moves in it like working your way down to the floor and smacking dat booty. Nothing ghetto about that. I hope it goes national. Maybe Linda will do it at Boule.


Now, on a serious note, I didn't think the post would be considered 'out of order'. To each his own. I've known what chapters my friends pledged years ago. Most greek knowledge I gained in fall 2001. Therefore, you can say I took mental notes. The point of naming chapters was so you'd know what region they were in. Guess I could've just named the region. Would've been quicker. The gathering was great actually. Haven't danced like that since I stayed Alabama. Watch my mouth? I'm grown. Last time I checked, I left my mama in Alabama. The stroll is what it is. The proof is in the pudding.

That will be my universal reply, so that the thread doesn't get out of hand. Don't wanna turn it out and stray away from the topic. I'll take this as a lesson learned and K.I.M. or PM if needed.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRR



On a more SKEERIOUS note, your last posts in this thread have been out of order. My Sorors responded to your posts in such a way for a reason. You say you're a grown woman? Then act like you have some sense when you post on AKA Avenue.



Soror MsFoxyLoxy77, I may just have to send you a PM regarding the Unity Stroll.

Carry on my fellow Greeks!!!

Most things that are boring don't last until 3.

If you need something to research.....

Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc will see what OUR President will do at OUR Boule...maybe we will tell you...NOT!!

Maybe that's why folks are on the outside looking in.....

Yes, I find it odd that those on the outside looking in just have to put their two cents in. If one wants to be a member of an organization, it's not a good look if one criticizes aspects of it, no?

Sorors Lets Move on to more interesting issues.

For all of those GREEKS that are on their way to regional conferences take a look at how the same songs gets different variations of strolls.

When Lukes' Scarred came on every soror jumped up to do the strut but there were tons of variations. It all started out the same way but they all had different moves that pertained to whereever that chapter was from.

It was great to see and even better trying to keep up with all the moves . My feet still hurt!

[rho4life]

I've notice that we have some school specific variations to our national strholls. But they can be done to a ton of songs. I just do my own variations and trick it out - tail style

[nonchalant]

I've also noticed different strolls at different schools even within the same region. They have also been done to different songs. I've also noticed chants being slightly different by changes in certain words. Most things are similar with small differences. I think it's interesting going to different schools and viewing how certain chapters do things. Especially around homecoming time.

Talk about being disrespectful

Ladygreek, it truly is. This thread has been in existence for four years and she is THE ONLY non-greek to chime in with multiple dissertations on what WE, as Greeks, do. And, in the process, found time to disrespect our National President. But, that's the nature of the beast these days...

Soror SKEEphistAKAte summed it up best: PRESSED.

Anyway, it is truly interesting to see my Sorors stroll off Scarred. When the song came on, they almost started a stampede to get it going!

The closest I've been to strolling this year was when everyone was doing the Bunny Hop at AKApollo. I know a few and know an AKA/APA unity stroll, but I don't ever go anywhere that strolling is going on. Maybe I'll pick up a few at the GreekFest. I might have to get some lessons from CountryGurl!

I told you we have strut parties to help lose weight! LOL Girl how do you think I got into that formal for Saturday night?

It seems strange to me to hear that some schools refer to anyone that pledged the same semester as them as their sands, regardless of the organization. When I pledged, the only people that we called our sands were our line sisters that actually crossed the sands with us. Of course that was in 1987, I realize that most organizations probably no longer physically cross burning sands, nor should they (we shouldn't have been doing it either). I just thought that the term sands was reserved for the most intimate of relationships, at least that is how it was in my day.

I was made in '92 in Great Great Lakes and this is how I was taught. I call other people that crossed Spring '92 my psuedo sands.

I had one spec and a few personals. I got persed by people in other organizations as well, and I persed people that crossed after me. Families are big in Michigan across most orgs, but it depends on the chapter.

[rhoyaltempest]

I came in Spring '93 in the Northeast and up here your sands was anyone in any of the organizations that was going thru the process at the same time as you. Your line sister was your line sister or as they say up here now, your LS. And also, people pers and spec people in other organizations up here also. But of course, this is the old way.
