Simple questions about Greek Life that annoy you?

[ealymc]

"How do I sign up for your frat?"
"Were you stripped down in front of everyone like in the movies?"
"How bad were you hazed?"
"What does 'E' N stand for?"
"Because your house is right next to Papa John's, do you get tired of pizza?"

I usually get more annoyed by people who think they know about Greek life but really don't.

I've had several people ask me "What organization is that?" when I'm wearing letters. When I tell them "Omega Delta Phi," they'll yell out "Que dog! Woof Woof!" or something to that effect. When I try to correct them, they'll tell me I'm wrong

Thankfully, I've learned to deal with most of the questions/statements brought up above:
"Step for me!"
"What are your secrets??"
"How do I join ABC/XYZ Sorority?" (Why not ask them??? )
etc, etc

This guy I went to school with asked me how to be a Kappa! I wasn't even an Alpha yet!

I guess APO really was like the Switzerland of Greek life at my school.

"Oh, you can be that age and still be in a sorority?" I laughed at this one.

"What does all of that on your jacket mean?"
I usually reply to people I know "If I tell you I have to flogg you then burn you at the stake" if I dont know them, some standard answer "Everything has a special meaning and is not public information. I can't tell you."

I've had grown men, after learning Im in a sorority, tell me that they have always wanted to be a XYZ fraternity member and then proceed to do a really bad impression of said org's call. WTHayle?

I just remembered, I was wearing my Ninjapoodle jacket and a security guard @ my school told me he was a Mason then proceeded to step. Right there in the lobby of the building. I was like "ummm.. yeah dog. I gotta get to class. Later""

LOL. There is definately something wrong with that.

i've heard the whole buying your friends thing before.

my question is, if i'm paying for my friends in the sorority, that means everyone else in the sorority is paying to be friends with me. so where is my pay check?

It goes to your national headquarters' friendship fund.

"Did you get hit with one of those paddle things? Did it leave a mark?"
"Did you get hazed?"
"What is that weird looking letter? I've never seen it before, did you make it up?" (reffering to the Xi)
"What was your groups stereo type?"

UGH, I hate them all!

[SWTXBelle]

Every Gamma Phi has heard "Who is Rob?" while wearing their letters . . .
