Simple questions about Greek Life that annoy you?

[SnuKnight172]

Common Question:
"You mean even though you graduated 3 years ago you still associate with your Fraternity? Don't you get kicked out when you graduate?"

My Response:
"You mean even though you turned 18 ten years ago you still associate with your family? Don't you get kicked out when you turn 18?"

Their response:
"That's different it's family."

My Response:
"So is my Fraternty!"

A few more questions that I never dignify with an answer:

"So do you guys party alot?"

'What are some of your secrets?"

"Do you guys have a secret hand shake?"

"Did you have to eat weird things to get in?"

"So you are one of those people who had to buy friends during college?"

IDIOTS

[MellySK]

I get the "I can't believe YOu were in a sorority" comment a lot. It drives me nuts.

I also hate the "I didn't have to buy my friends" statement. I try explaining that dues were NOT buying your friends, blah blah blah - but it never works.

"OOh I wanna be in a sorority! Where do I sign up?"

It's not that simple hun.

When I get the "buying your friends" question my response if I like the person is:

Remember when you were a kid and your family had you in Sports, Dance, The Band, Day Care, etc... Or how about when you moved into the new neighborhood. Well guess what all of those things cost money as well. So every friend that you ever made were paid for in some form or another. The Sports line usually takes guys by surprise and i have actually used it on quite a few rush guests.

I like that! good point!

In my most recent cases with the buying your friends, these are from the adult people who would have paid for all those teams and lessons.

It's just a pathetic thing to say, worse still to believe it.

[aephi alum]

There's been a chapter of AEPi at my school for quite a few years.

I joined a local sorority. During my sophomore year, we became a colony, and later a chapter, of AEPhi.

Two of the stupid questions I got when wearing letters were, "Oh, you're an AEPi little sister?" and "Oh, when did AEPi go coed?"

You would think that at an engineering school, people would be able to tell the difference between the letters pi and phi.

Hahaha. I would have said that too.

[Ch2tf]

Questions:
"What made you join that?" (Usually from another greek)

My response:
"What made you join that?"

Statements:
"I bet ya'll just bake cookies and what not."

My response:
"Yep, the cookies are damn good too!"

You're still active in a sorority although you graduated from college?
