SYANDS is not a real term. Whoever invented it is wack and whoever perpetuates it is wacker -- and PLEASE tell anyone who uses it that I said so!
They say it means "Same Year AND Semester."
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT let any of your friends use this term.

Cali folks do that all the time, and I don't have a problem with that (calling lb/ls "sands"). There's diferent lingo in different parts of the country.
But that syands thing is ungood.

There was a time when your lb or ls did not necessarily become your sands/ship. So the term was used to make the distinction.

What's so wrong with them wanting to use that term? I mean really. YOu defend the "biting" but knock folks for being original. That's what is really wack.

Shanita,
I have really grown tired of you stalking my each and every post on every Greek board I go to as well as Facebook. It's not cute. Your mission in life is NOT to sniff after me and post your comments after everything I say.
Since you seem to have a problem with everything I type, by all means ignore me as I've ignored you since GreekPeeps.
For whatever reason that you're bitter and miserable, please leave me out of it. I generally LOVE my life and enjoy passing the time on message boards.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
Thanks.

Wow. This post is what seems "bitter and miserable." I made an observation, based on what YOU wrote. Look at the number of my posts that reference, or quote yours, and re-evaluate what you just posted. Do the math. I do not stalk your post. However, I will call BS if I see it. And I saw it it in bright, flashing, flaming-even neon colors.

Does this tick you off, or do you just find it sort of silly?

I'm suprised that any NPC group would allow this as those terms (at least "crosing") are no-no words like "pledge"

We're used to it. Elvis, Eminem, Justin Timberlake and a few others readied us for such madness. But thanks for asking.
