What is the REAL issue that some people have with Blacks, Asians, Latinos/Latinas or other minorities in "white" sororities and fraternities??! I am Jewish/Black in a "white" sorority. It was MY decision to rush with MY friends who I wanted as MY sisters. My choice to be in my sorority is MY business, no one else's. I , too, get sick of people assuming I'm in a Black sorority when they see me dressed in a certain color or if I say I'm Greek. I don't point fingers and ask why didn't a DST become an AKA instead, or a Zeta, why aren't you a Sigma Gamma Rho, so get out of my business and let me have fun with my lifelong sisters as I let you have fun with yours. And yes, white sororities DO have active alum chapters, and some have AMUMNI INITIATIONS too.

You are right it is your business. And I don't see anyone saying the opposite. We are all responding to a thread topic with our various positions. So calm down and go have fun with your lifelong sisters. No one here is stopping you.

Oh and thanks for reiterating info we were given earlier in the thread. Like I said before, I learned something new regarding ALUMNI Initiations in GLOs.

Which is what? That Asian stores in Toronto are generally not clean? This still shocks me.

O didn't read that. If that's what she said then I didn't see it. All I was agreeing with is that there are Asian stores in Toronto and they are the best place to get the best selection of Asian foods.

I think a few people on this board have misunderstood my grocery store post. It is FACT that Asian stores were really smelly/dirty at one point. The post was not meant to be racist/discriminating against a particular group of cultures. The reason why these stores smell is because of the way raw meats were handled and the fact that many of the stores were family owned and therefore didn't have the large staff to keep the store spick and span. Now, many of the stores are chains, and therefore have the money to hire more staff. That's why they're clean.

back to our regularly scheduled program...

she doesn't "PICK" on anyone

I pick on starang21 and ladygreek. I dislike their usernames so much that I don't even bother reading their posts before I respond with venom.

Like I said, many JL members are Greek alumnae and the Leagues DO service minority communities WHICH INCLUDE THE BLACK COMMUNITIES.

You like to pick on me, don't you, DSTCHAOS? You must have issues with non-white women who are members of white organizations.

JL isn't a greek org. and this is greekchat. hmmmm....

and stop taking stuff personal. i'm sure she doesn't have anything against you. stop being so sensitive.

but you acknowledge that you're in white organizations....hmmm...do i sense a case of self-hatred?

[starang21]

this person is not representative of asian people.

And yet you keep rising to the bait... seriously - and I mean this in the nicest way possible - LET. IT. GO.

Who is she? I don't even know what "race" she is and what type of organization she's in.

My bad...I assume she's Asian b/c you said something about her not representing all Asians.

You seemed to have completely missed my point, which is obvious by your reply. Perhaps you should go back and read it again. Oh and thanks for your response, it is always good to learn something new...providing you don't get too "testy" about it. (yikes!)

Perhaps she thought your post was in reponse to the current dialogue in this thread. If it was a general post aimed at the original topic...okay.
