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

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)

You know I don't steal siggys! But I feel ya on that one. He is "special needs" anyway because he told me to call him about "getting him in". And he told the chapter in the city where he lives that we are cousins...AND.WE.ARE.NOT! He just wants to belong to something...anything!

I was on my way home from work one morning around 2 a.m. and I thought I'd stopped by The Waffle House to get a bite to eat. When I backed my kar in a parking spot directly in front of the entrance door...My K.A.Psi tags just happened to be in plain view. I walked in(of kourse ALL eyes were on me kause we NUPEs got that swagger) and sat down at the bar....Then, a nice old lady kame up to me to take my order....but b4 she asked me what I wanted to order...she asked me this question...she asked, "Are you a Delta? kause my granddaughter plegded that Fraternity.....her letters are Red & White too...." need I say more.....lol

Everybody in Waffle House must be crazy. Once some sorors and I were in Waffle House at like 2AM, wearing letters, and this chick walked up and said "Are you guys Deltas?"

Well Waffle House at 2AM hardly has a subsample of people who would know what all of these Greek letters mean. But Delta is a good starting point in terms of identifiability.
