Simma down na! If all of NPC has it wrong that your org coined the term sorority, then call us all out. If all of NPC has it wrong that your colors are what they are because of a MAN, then call us all out. No need to get all pissy. I've never had beef with you, and frankly I'm sick of all that crap and YOU. I already admitted that the quote I took from a chapter's site was not entirely accurate - yeah, we had fraternity men help us, but we didn't have a brother fraternity, ZTA has always stood on its own and THAT's why we call ourselves a fraternity. I'm sure it has something to do also with history, as in when the term sorority was coined, etc., but that's what I was taught as a new member of ZTA and that's whats in our history, so who am I to doubt it?

Oh, and please don't call me sweetums. I don't know you that well - ok, at all. Rather condescending and unnecessary to say the least. And comparing me to Dubbya with that lame quote was just dumb.

Wow...ok.


Point of clarification - I'm not sure what you were getting at just then, but Gamma Phi Beta's colors were not selected by a man. They were selected by the sisters to honor a gentleman, Dr. Brown, who allowed early Gamma Phi Betas to use his study for meetings.

It seems just a bit out of order that you should give me and my sisters lessons on the history our own organization.

Especially since our original colors were not brown, meaning at the time of the founding they had nothing whatsoever to do with a man. (wishes the board had a lightbulb smile)

Not to mention that there is more to our colours than honouring Dr. Brown . . .

Did you buy too many vowels?
