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

That's funny.  (sorry!) It never occurred to me that people would read it that way.

I just don't understand the whole "paying for friends" thing. Anyone with sense knows that non-profit organizations are only able to exist because of their members (including partners, sponsors, donors, etc.). Even the church depends on donations from their congregations. People just need to think a little more before speaking...that's all.

I think it stems from a defensive reaction over the fact that you must be "invited" to join. You cannot just "join", the way you could a Spanish Club, Ski Club, church, etc.
rhoyaltempest, I liked everything that you had to say....very good point about non-profits being dependent on donations, etc.

You know, along those same lines, CutiePie2000, when I was a collegian and I'd hear that "paying for friends" comment I always thought about the fact that those same people were paying to attend college. Yes, it's for an education, but wouldn't that follow the same logic? You have to be accepted into a college or university too. Accepted? Paying for it? Making friends while you're there? Sound familiar?!?

The next person who asks me "Oooh what does EEE mean?" is going to be stabbed.

The question that bugs me the most is:
"What WERE you?"
Um, you mean what sorority AM I a member of? I graduated, I didn't die.
Side note, my sitter is in college and all of her greek experiences have been with NPHC orgs, so she will occasionally ask me questions like "where did you cross?". If it wasn't for greek chat, I don't know if I would know what she is talking about!
