Oh no!!! I wasn't at all trying to do that! Check my last reply, I just came up with what could spell out Proverb 31. I'm thinking about going with Pi Gamma Alpha now though..

ok, let me just be clear.. LOL! I'm not trying to come up with something that does NOT already exist! I'm not trying to go national people, I'm trying to form a small group for just me and my daughter? If I hadn't come here (and maybe I shouldn't have...), You all woudl have never known about it!
oh.. and I did do google searches on both of them!

Oh, well if that's the case and this isn't just for pretend, that will not happen. Step away from this idea now.

Dude, the part that makes me upset is you're taking another group's letters, no matter what your reasoning is. If you came on here saying you wanted to name yours Delta Delta Delta to mean "darling daughter Diane", I'd have the same issue. It's just weird and disrespectful, especially if you now know that it already exists.

Oh, I had no idea that that would be so offensive.. seriously! Is it still seen as disrespectful if it's a tiny group that will get no public viewing? I wish someone would have just said "wow! You know, even though it's just two of you, I think a sorority may be offended if you have the same letters!" That might have come across a little better..

Yes, it is offensive because you're just kind of doing this randomly and not bothering to research in the least. Why don't you just call it the adeleilori and little girl club? Why does everything have to have Greek letters attached to it? Those Greek letters we wear are not just for fun or a joke, they MEAN something to us.

I'm sorry, 33! You're right! I had no idea it would be offensive! I have actually been researching like crazy, but had no idea that it was even slightly offensive.. I wouldn't know, i've never been a part of anything like this, so I was honestly clueless about how strongly you all felt about the letters.. I thought this little venture into the forums would be a good bit of research as well, and it turned out to be, but in a WHOLE different way - I found out I was being offensive by using the greek letters!! and I did NOT mean to offend anyone! Please accept my apology!

Yes. Not only is it offensive, it is patently ridiculous. I cant tell people I'm a doctor cause I didn't go to med school, so I don't have a MD I can use after my name. I wasn't in the military, so I can't say I have a silver star. You weren't initiated into whatever group you decide to pick out of a hat, so you can't say you were.

Oh no, and please believe me when I say I was NOT trying to do that!! In no way were we trying to claim a sorority that already exists! I wasn't even thinking along those lines... Like I said I was just coming up with a meaningful name for us, but I can see now how that can mean something completely different to you all, so I'll reconsider that and just come up with something else. It doesn't have to be greek to be meaninful to her.

You home school your daughter, correct? So she's with you pretty much 24/7. Not sure how much closer you can get, unless you pop her back into your uterus.
Got my soda, who's in charge of popcorn?

Yes, we are together 24/7, but with her little brothers. I am either working (I work 4 hours from home), which she is doing her independent work, or we are doign school work with the boys, or she is watching them, or doing her chores, or playing with them. Our one on one time is VERY limited with a 4 and 1 yr old around.
