Crazy SGRho Stereotypes

[tld221]

I love these "stereotype" threads. I really wish people would come up with new/better stereotypes.

--sigma gamma who? Come on, we're college educated. Do better. My response is always "I know who I am, my sorors know who they are, so why don't you know who we are?"

--all fat/darkskinned/ugly: not only is this ridiculously false, it shows how much folks don't get out. And (not that this makes the stereotype any better), why isn't this pushed on other orgs? Greeks are a microcosm of people in general, so there's just as many AKA/DST/ZPhiB ugmugs floatin around.

--bookworms/all 4.0's: while that's an awesome thing if we all did, do you really think every sgrho gets straight A's? Were no idiots but we do hold scholastic achievement high, even if that means an occasional B or C.

--we pledge long/hard: see, is this supposed to make us appear "harder" therefore more respected? Or is this a detriment, because this makes us manly? Either way, its so unproductive to our image.

--were so secretive: umm its called discretion. Can't help that we got this. the fact that you don't know what is up means were on our biz and you're not minding yours.

A certain interested someone came to my chapter talking about that stereotype. She put the best spin on that that stereotype that I was like "I like you"

A Kappa boyfriend of hers said that we are highly intelligent. That was our only stereotype. It didn't hurt my feelings at all.

Cause when did being smart become a bad thing?

We can discuss anything we choose to in our forum and I'm sure you haven't gone through the thousands upon thousands of threads on GC to know if the other NPHC sororities have ever discussed stereotypes about themselves or not. It's not that serious for us...we can discuss this topic and laugh about it. Thanks for resurrecting an old thread.

I was wondering if he/she would change his/her mind. LOL.

rhoyaltempest's response makes me wonder what she would've said if the post hadn't been deleted.
