Kappa Shimmy

[Suavesince1911]

Well, I can certainly understand the older generation Nupes taking issue with the modern shimmy. Personally, I don't have a major problem with it. It's amazing how shimmys change over time. I graduated college in the early 2000s, but I pledged during the latter half of the decade. The shimmys that I've seen since I joined are drastically different from the shimmys that I remember during the late 90s and early 2000s. Modern shimmys appear to be more like freak dancing compared to the traditional/classic shimmys, and to some Nupes, today's shimmys aren't real shimmys.

What I am not in favor of is Nupes who carry themselves like thugs. Nupe and "thug" shouldn't even go in the same sentence, but some of the brothers fit the attributes of a thug to a t (and they're proud of it). During my college days, most of the Nupes on the yard were well-dressed, and they were gentlemen. They were especially known for wearing bow ties. In fact, the person who taught me how to tie a bow tie was a Nupe. The brothers on the yard almost always carried themselves respectfully. As far as sagging is concerned, I thought that practiced played out in the 90s, but many are still doing it. I've NEVER done that; not only is it unbecoming of a Nupe, it's unbecoming of a mature man. Even before I became a Kappa, I always prided myself on looking clean and dapper, and that has carried over into Kappa. Most importantly, I've always tried to remain a chivalrous, humble gentlemen.

Don't want rant too much, but there are some practices today that I do not think should be associated with Kappa Alpha Psi.
