Simple questions about Greek Life that annoy you?

Isn't it a moot question?

People who have no clue, have not clue!

So when they look at you in what are you so talking about?

God, why do then not learn by looking?

You know what Tom.... this makes perfect sense.

No matter how much you explain, people will either be MORE confused or get disinterested.

Or just still don't get it -- case in point, there is a guy I know with no formal education who calls me an AKA every time I see him.

LOL.... and the last part of what he said about "learning by looking" -- sometimes it's more enriching to learn by observing on your own. Especially if it's a non-essential kind of question.

"I never pictured YOU in a Sorority".
That is not a question, but that statement annoys me more than anything.

this guy i used to date calls every sorority "Delta."

example: Oh, you IN one of those "Deltas" (i assume as opposed to you in one of those sororities)

or

what kinda "Delta" are you?

dammit he was cute, but dumb as a brick.

It's like calling all forms of soda "Coke!"

Just thought of something that happened just a little while ago. I had made a presentation on a college campus in the northeast and was leaving with my sorors. I was in a business suit and they were wearing their jackets. Other Greeks were also walking in the general direction I was going.

As we all passed by a group of girls, I heard one of them say, "I feel a step coming on" or something to that effect. I had no clue what the child was talking about until one of my sorors told me she was referring to us Greeks. LOL! Oooo k.

this reminds me of my grandma saying that my AKA cousins are "Deltas like OOhSoFly but they wears different colors..." then she'll tell people how much I love my fraternity like my uncle Jerry (who is a Kappa)...

...its really sweet in a senile kinda way....

That is adorable.

When I crossed I had an annoying sticker on the back of my car

and people would say "you're a Krappa" or "you're a Que?" As a neo I was militantly correcting people. As the years went on, I saved my corrections for people who may give a darn. We aren't hardly as important to EVERYONE (in terms of recognition) as we like to think that we are.

And that's fine.

At the collegiate level, there are more opportunities to know the different groups but at the alumnae level we're dealing with people in the community--some who know us, some who don't and don't care, and some who don't but want to be around us anyway. They should all come and support, maybe those who don't know will learn about the different groups. If they don't learn, they can still reap the benefits of our services and say "one of those red and white fraternities had a fundraiser."

I don't know how I missed the above before. I promise

I didn't laugh a little when I read it.
