sterotyping

Stereotyping does still exist. I have been a member of Sigma Gamma Rho for 2 weeks and three days. A friend of my sent me an email to congratulate me. About half way through the she begin to ask me why did choose sgrho. She began to tell Sgrhos on her campus are hoes, ugly, and confrontational. and That sgrho was a very small org. and that i would meet all my sorhors at one regional. She preceded to tell me that I wasn't like that and that Aka would have been better for me. Because I was pretty, smart, and friendly.. and that i should have followed the path my sister and she had went down. I told her that i chose the best sorority for me the last created the best designed, the sorority that has best gpa nationwide... and that quality is better than quantity... I asked her did she know the sgrhos on her campus personally she said no.. I told to keep my sorhors out her mouth.

I'm glad you told her Soror!

I'm pretty, smart, AND confrontational. I wonder what that makes me.

Honestly, I am told by mostly stupid men (who mainly perpetuate this nonsense stereotyping) that I fit the stereotype of AKA.

The only comments I hear from women -- and other greek women in my local NPHC chapter at that -- is that we are so small we all know each other. My pet peeve is other greek women in my area (DC/Baltimore) who are surprised that we have so many graduate chapters in this area. I even had one neo Zeta ask me if I was able to "find a chapter"? Whatever?

My response: For the record, there are 6 graduate chapters in the DC area alone, not including the Baltimore area chapters. This is a greater metropolitan area with a large black population, what did you expect?

First of all Congratulations SoRHOr!! Secondly, she said what!
I would have been too mad to respond at first because I would have been trying to cyberslam her on the concrete. She had the audacity to open her mouth like that about my SoRHOrs... I am glad you let her know to keep her mouth OFF SGRHO's. This is yet another example of a sistergreek ( so sad ) perpetuating the stereotypes. One thing that I learned coming into this great sisterhood is that class goes a longgggggg way and class DOES NOT include down talking your sister/brother greeks. SGRHO's keep it tight, classy and sexy, that's why SGRHO is the only RHOad.
