Simple questions about Greek Life that annoy you?

[ASTalumna06]

I had to bump this to add this odd question:

"Do you do weird things with animals?"

What they meant by that, I have NO idea. And I really didn't wanna find out.

I also get the "what's AET?" question. I tell them it's a sigma. Sadly enough, my school was huge on engineering, and half the kids who would ask me had all taken calc. There are sigmas all over the place in those courses, and they still referred to it as an E. Sad.

And when people (generally students) would ask me about paying for my friends, I'd always respond in the same way... "I didn't pay for my friends, I invested in a lifetime of camaraderie, service, and tradition, shared with people across the world. What did you spend your money on? A new Playstation?" (or whatever the major "toy" is at the time). Usually people don't know what to say. it's fun.

It might have to do with the goat myth.

"But you've always been a great student! Why would you join a sorority?"

If I had a dime for every time I heard that when I was in school, I would have been able to retire right out of college!

^^^ LOLOL I hate people like you but I love them as friends! Won't you be my neighbor ASTalumna06?

[Benzgirl]

What tier are you?
Oh, wait a minute. That is from someone on GC.

I'm glad this was bumped! I would have never read it otherwise.

My favorite replies when people find out I'm in a sorority:

• "What? But you seem so nice!" (As if I have to be a stuck-up snob to be a sorority girl.)
• "How many frat guys did you have to sleep with before they let you in?"
• "But you're SMART."
• "You're in which sorority? I thought they were all ugly!"

Sorry, I'm getting in here late so someone may have said it, but what about:

"Do you really have naked pillow fights?"

Duh, of course we do!

That one really gets to me. But when I started to correct the boy (who went to a school without greeks), he said, "Please don't deny guys of their fantasies."

Now, he mentions one of the myths, and I just go along with it, but with a LOT of sarcasm - just so he knows how stupid these fantasies are!

haha one of my guy friends seriously thought girls had naked pillow fights.

the first day of our pledging process i stepped outside and onto a piece of wood, spraining the hell out of my ankle...

...so imagine the next day i show up at my parents house on crutches.

mom: i thought you said they werent going to whoop your a**...
dad: yeah, you said you werent into that type of thing.
me: i didnt let them whoop my a**. i let them break my ankle, like Kathy Bates in Misery.

Enjoying myself with the old post bumping today.

Two questions I seem to get quite often from GDIs:

How much were you hazed?
Whether I was or not, what's it matter to you?
Do you guys wear robes?
None of your business if we do or not.

[Senusret I]

So the answers are obviously:

A lot.

and

Yes.

LOL
