you did a whole lot for being a "semi-super neo."

and though i know better than to double para, i think there's different ways in wearing para that determines "tacky double para" to "ok, that's not so bad..." examples:

--a jacket and a t-shirt, thats RIDICULOUS.
--a jacket and a tiki, still RIDICULOUS.
--a pin and a tiki, not only RIDICULOUS, but that would just clash.
--a pin and a tote bag, i wouldnt make a big deal over.
--a t-shirt and something over the top (ie a rhinestone beltbuckle - which i think is played out like a mofo but this Alpha neo i knew just HAD to bust it out), i'd just let the bigger/flashier piece of para stand out.

would anyone be mad over a neo who just went overboard with colors versus letters? ie, a neo who, for example, gets blue highlights? or someone who wore their colors EVERYDAY, on purpose?

I've worn a jacket and a t-shirt before. The letters on the t-shirt weren't extremely big so I don't if it was too much or not. It was also at a Delta function...

Anyway when I crossed I was definitely a super-neo. Went to almost every program and party hosted by BGLO. Hung out at the Black Cultural center in 'naila. Decked my car out...took random photos of me throwing up the pyramid...LOL! It was great

Hahahaha, I know this is about BGLOs, but I'm looking at the "super neo" lists and I remember being SO BAD about that when I first got into KD. I got nicknamed "Kappa Delta" by a few folks my first semester in because I wore letters everywhere. I had the tote bag, the t-shirts, the flip-flops, the drop on my charm bracelet...it was ridiculous. I even kept some of my mom's giant earrings from the 80s that she wanted to sell in a garage sale because they're green and white and they match my jersey! (They're these huge green polka-dotted disks that are about as big as my ear, too...and I still wear them with pride!)

I was just so glad to be in and wanted EVERYBODY to know I was a KD!

Nope. We've had a couple of non-BGLOers respond. I think the general sentiment is about excited new members. Even if the terminology is different.

When's the last time you wore those earrings?

Still cool, though.

I had to quote this because I've seen more of this with the Spring 08 undergrad and grad lines.

Rhinestones are annoying, anyway. Grown arse men with rhinestone buckles or even REAL diamonds on huge organizational buckles or necklaces/chains? Annoying. Gaudy. Too much. Yikes.

funny you brought this up, because a couple days ago the para vendor we hired to sell at an event we hosted (a Sigma) was trying HARD to peddle this tacky SGRho beltbuckle. first of all, i dont know anyone who wears novelty beltbuckles. it looked like an SGRho cheat sheet: founding info, mascot, flower, jewels, founder names... WTF. if you can fit all that on a beltbuckle, that is just a mess. maybe im in the wrong region but it really is a no-go.

(i proceeded to tell ol boy that he was dead wrong for showing up with some hot mess like that. his response: well, i have 4 SGRho items and i haven't sold not one yet. umm, if you are selling at an SGRho event where we will--ironically--make up the majority of the crowd, how bout you have items you can actually sell?)

to bring this back on-topic, it was so bad not even the neos were buying this guy's stuff.

You start doing step moves by yourself in public areas that are totally out of place because you think it looks so cool. For instance in your dorm room, or while randomly walking down the street, or even in the weight room (one of my line bros did this when he was supposed to be spotting me, it was SOOO embarrassing because everyone started looking at us)

I know it's not "neo" perse, but something that I noticed many of our neos used to do because they'd always join the step team right after they cross and were CRAZY about it (but did not quite understand yet what's appropriate and what's not).



Also, introducing yourself to a random stranger with your nickname rather than your real name (HI! I'm Sexual Harassment Panda, nice to meet you!). Tho this is specific to Asian Greeks I guess, because I remembered from past discussions that other orgs don't often go by nicknames.

That Sigma vendor is yet another vendor who has limited or crappy SGRho items. How insulting for him to vendor at an SGRho event like that. The belt buckles sound hideous.

I think I had a couple of gaudy tshirts when I was a neo. Even a HUGE plastic Fortitude pin with letters that was suitable for bookshelf display but not to be worn. Slightly worse than the huge wooden pins, that I had, and I also the small wooden pins. It took a year or so for me to understand that cheesy and gaudy are the same with or without Delta on it.
