Why not go the extra mile and become a professional one?

i'm offended that you continue to bring it up and continue to ask why.

[insert co-signning lightblub here] thx frat.

Mind your business, Rudey. We've said all we will say on that or any other IOTA subject that is not addressed on our int'l website.

What is out of context ladygreek? I posted a fact about their name at founding. I did not post commentary or anything else. In a thread last year, Iotas including SunTzu confirmed it but did not go into why the name was changed.

And why should it be deleted?? It's not against the rules.

And how is it offensive unless YOU or someone else is making it out to be a joke as opposed to their history (Again confirmed by Iotas on greekchat.com).

Read the quote again (no commentary and no room for error as it has been comfirmed):

From the 1971 Morgan State University Yearbook, as quoted by Black Greek 101:

Alpha Chapter, the first of Iota Phi Theta, was founded September 19, 1963 by 12 men who felt they were too old and mature to go through a ridiculous pledge season. It was originally called "I Felta Thigh" fraternity. "I Felta Thigh" entered [the local] Pan Hell in 1965. The name was then changed to Iota Phi Theta.

-Rudey

For the last time (I said this last year), there is information from the book (Black Greek 101) and from the yearbook that is INACCURATE. YOU (Rudey and everyone else that are not members of IOTA) will never know what is and isn't true. Again, Rudey mind your business.

[ladygreek]

And there you have it from the person cited as confirming it. Can we give it a rest now?

sigmadiva,
First of all, I am in AEPi (fraternity) not AEPhi (sorority). You don't have to base your opinion of my fraternity only on me, but I will answer any questions you have that don't deal with secrets as I'm sure most of us would.

AEPi, Sammy, and ZBT were the big Jewish houses. Some time ago, Sammy and ZBT decided to sorta tone down on being Jewish houses, supporting the Jewish community, and helping Jewish philanthropies and now call themselves "historically Jewish".

How does one know whether he wants to join AEPi? I would hope it's the same case as how does one know he wants to join SAE or whatnot. You get rushed by us, we like you, you like us, you like what we do as a fraternity, and you see the symbiotic relationship that happens where all will benefit and then join.

Our philanthropies do change. Right now AEPi supports Ethiopian Community Centers.

I also wrote a lot of things a few years back if you're truly interested:
http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...t=jewish+house

Again, I repeat that I wanted to learn what others had to say and 3 members did help me to understand. Obviously they too felt that my question wasn't being answered since they went ahead and spoke.

-Rudey

Thank you for the info.

Too bad that's different from what you said last year.

But hey if we all minded our business we wouldn't learn anything. Nobody would go to school and learn history and whatnot because hey what do the Japanese have to do with us.

If you ever feel like pointing out something incorrect about the historical fact I posted, I will accept it. Until then it is in a yearbook and quoted by Black Greek 101 as well.

I'm not sure how it is you believe i've been treated, but that's neither here nor there.

As to your question, it was suggested that information about an organization could only be accurate if it came from members of that organization. That assertion is incorrect for two reasons. First, I've encountered any number of greeks that that didn't know their basic history, or atleast there version of history is siginificantly different from that published by the organization or presented by the majority of their members. Second, there are atleast two books that chronicle the history and development of all of the NPHC orgs with significant detail.

Given that this is information that has been presented PUBLICLY, I fail to understand what is wrong with asking if the PUBLIC has been presented with accurate information in this PUBLIC forum. Furthermore, if this PUBLIC information is accurate, then what's the fuckin' problem?

Sorry, but we both know that books written by those outside of the organization may have some inaccuracies in them. I would only take a book expressly written by Sigma Gamma Rho, Inc. as actual fact. But you do what you wish.

And you still miss the problem: YOU aren't a Sigma Gamma Rho, so don't speak on it. YOU speak about Phi Beta Sigma.

But what is wrong with him stating it if it's not wrong? If something is wrong, you could also point it out. I don't even see how it's damaging so why is it an issue?

I was asked if I would go to a math teacher if I had a math question and I said I would work with my study group to figure it out. If I didn't know, my group didn't know, then I'd go to the math teacher. Either way at each stage I'd be able to talk about it.

This is how I am: If I hear that Amanda said something about me, I'm not gonna go to Jennifer about it, I'mma go to the source.

To me, the ONLY source for info on Sigma Gamma Rho is A SIGMA GAMMA RHO! I'm not gonna ask an Alpha Chi Omega about Delta Delta Delta, I'mma go to the source.

If someone asked me about Phi Beta Sigma, I'm not going to try to act like I'm an expert. I'm going to refer that person with the question to the appropriate person they need to talk to, so that I don't end up giving them some incomplete or inaccurate information, out of respect for Phi Beta Sigma. I'd appreciate some of that respect back.
