What's the funniest thing a non-greek has ever said to you?

For some strange reason, I think that some P. H. Masons are intimidated by BGLO Frats. I actually heard Masons having conversations about us having to go to college and college not being one of their requirements.

Some of them feel we are uppity! Go figure! I know A PHI A has founders that were P. H. Masons and I am sure that the remaining eight has founders that were either P. H. Masons or O.E.S.!

Oh Well . . .

Being both a Prince Hall Mason and a Kappa I have seen it from both sides and there is a general misunderstanding between Masonry and BGLO's in general. I happen to belong to a lodge that has a big number of greeks mostly Kappas thank GOD .

Both have great principals that kinda overlap but there is still a divide. I have ran into Kappas that question me for being a Mason and Masons that question me for being a Kappa. I love both just in different ways.

I don't think Masons are intimadated by greeks just more of a feeling of respect your roots. Masonry is the oldest Fraternal Order and although college is not a requirement a large number of college educated men are masons and they know which founders of all four (opp's five) Greek Frats were Masons. I know that at least the Alpha's, Kappa's, Que's, and Sigma's had at least one founder that was a Mason. So the feeling is more respect your heritage.

I can understand the history of being a Mason and what it has to do with BGLO's, however, I was approached by a young man who is a Mason and he was like, you better give thanks to your 'daddy', because we made all BGLO fraternities. My first response was that my daddy is neither a mason or a greek, so I don't know what he has to do with anything! And the funny thing, is that he is so vocal about wanting to be a NUPE!

Frat I feel you on dealing with some over zealous folk but charge it to his head not his heart. You don't have to bring him to Kappa, because we both know everybody wants to be a Kappa but being a Kappa is not for everybody.

The young man some expectations of what is means to be a Mason and on becoming a Kappa and I once heard that "expectations are the food of disappointment". (I bet not see that as a signature either)

I just said, "Yes."

That was funny for real.

I understand when the kids see my Greek letters and immediately insist, "DO A STEP!" It's not as tolerable when a middle-aged woman doesn't recognize that Greeks do more than step. My aunt (by marriage) met three sorors as we were returning from an out-of-state Regional Conference. I introduce the sorors, and she immediately replies, "So y'all are in the sorority together? DO A STEP!" It's common, but it's still irritating.

I was dropping off scholarship applications at a highschool and was carrying a Delta bag with me. While speaking to the principal, somehow or another we got on the subject of spirituality, and he learned that I am a Christian, so he proceeds to say to me "You're a Christian? Wow, I didn't know that you all were into that!"

Last week, this dumba$$ fool in one of my classes asked me "Why are you always wearing blue and white? Do you work at Walmarts or something?"

I'm sorry hun, you must have mis-read the title of this thread. It's for Greeks who have had non-greeks say funny things to them. It's not "What's the stupidest thing a trashy perp has said on a message board".
