(sgROH) Kappa bond

[nonchalant]

Oh gosh!!! This thread is too funny. Talking about being upset about a bond that isn't even constitutionalized. I can understand the fact that you should respect one another first and foremost as human beings. Secondly, as being part of a BGLO, hence the Divine Nine being a part of the NPHC. The only people I feel should really have a hot fit about something of this nature is a Zeta and a Sigma. Just my opinion. After all, they do have that legal bond.

Every sorority/fraternity bond varies from campus to campus and region to region. Some AKAs and Kappas hang together due to the pretty image and also another historical bond. Some Kappas cling more to Deltas due to their colors. Some Kappas cling to SGRhos due to the IU bond. Alphas and AKAs due to first BGLO for black college students plus another historical bond. Deltas and Ques for too many reasons to name. I'd have to write a book for that one, lol. The list goes on.

SGRhos have not been too popular in southern schools that I've visited such as AAMU, Tuskegee, Alabama State, and AU and AUM. I now reside in Atlanta and I've seen one SGRho tag since I've been here. I hear they are quite popular up north. I also have a friend whose cousin pledged SGRho and will not put her plate on her car since she moved from Memphis. I guess she saw the light and was highly disappointed in what it gleamed.

There was one hot moment in history at Tuskegee University for Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. A transfer SGRho from New York came to Tuskegee with a dream. She would revive the chapter at TU and keep her sorority alive. During the week for informationals, she came out with a hot top, a mini-skirt, some stilletos, and was walking a french poodle. Tell me that's not hot.

Okay, see I am with you on this point. I agree. Why get upset over a bond that is not 'legal'. If a Kappa wants to 'claim' me, fine, if not fine. It does not influence my opinion or feelings towards Kappa.

SGRhos have not been too popular in southern schools that I've visited such as AAMU, Tuskegee, Alabama State, and AU and AUM. I now reside in Atlanta and I've seen one SGRho tag since I've been here. I hear they are quite popular up north.

Define popular. Are you just counting numbers of members, or members who actually go out and perform the tenets of their org? Members who consistently have the highest averages of GLOs on campus? Members who are respected by other greeks and the community?

I also have a friend whose cousin pledged SGRho and will not put her plate on her car since she moved from Memphis. I guess she saw the light and was highly disappointed in what it gleamed.

Actually, I know a few greeks, NPHC and NPC, who have expressed this. People join GLOs for different reasons. People have different experiences in their GLO. Some experiences are favorable, some are not. The worst that I have seen are those people who join a GLO thinking their GLO membership will solve all of their problems, then discover that the membership does not.

That is why one has to be *very* sure about why they are joining. Whatever the reasons, be honest with yourself. Don't expect your GLO membership to fix your life. It won't.

Personally, that is something that I would not have done - because I don't wear skirts that go above the knee. But, hey, what she did got your attention and you remember it and you are still talking about it, so my soror's 'attention grabber' worked. You may not have been impressed by it, and that is fine. I've seen groups do things that I was like and at.

I don't know what your point was by posting this.

[nonchalant]

What I meant by being popular sort of deals with quantity then again it doesn't. What I mean by that is you must have members to make up your chapter to have quantity. Half the time, I don't even see any Sigma Gamma Rhos out. I'm not sure if they are suspended on those campuses, not on that campus at all, or no one wants to pledge. I can go to a homecoming game at Alabama State, Tuskegee, and Alabama A&M and see all greeks in there designated areas on the yard, yet there are never any sigma gamma rhos(or iotas for that matter). Due to my previous post, I know they are on TU's campus.

As far as if they are doing what they are supposed to for their sorority, there is no way I would know that. Don't see them out doing community service or flyers up for community service acts like other orgs cuz they seem rare. Are poodles becoming extinct?(j/k)

My point with the girl and the poodle was that SGRhos are rare on that campus. She recruited to the best of her ability, and I truly thought it was cute. She really got my attention. She felt the need to represent her sorority to the fullest which would allow people to approach her that had interest. In turn, this would help bring SGRho back to life on TU's campus. Day to be remembered.

AFAIK, each GLO sets a minimum number to define a chapter. As long as that chapter of the GLO meets that minimum the chapter exists. The actual number may differ per GLO.

Well, I don't know where you hang out, or who you hang out with, but I can assure you, we are out there!!!

Again, I don't know where you hang out. We are out there. Maybe you are not in the right social circles to be in the 'know'. Or, maybe you are too busy trying to kiss @$$ to other GLOS, that you just don't see us.

Hmm, I guess my soror impressed you so much, you can't get SGRho out of your mind.


Again, I see no point to your posts.

[ladygreek]

^^^^ her point is that for some reason she disses DST and now SGRho . Don't let s/he get to you. S/he is nothing.

[bobbyearl93]

Dam! I knew something would bring me out of hiding

Are you greek? You seem to know (or think you know) so much about bonds and where SGRhos are. We exist in the Southeast Region in great quantity as well as quality. Some Southeast Region Sorors are even represented here on GC. Maybe they should respond to you.

Usually I am pretty nice to people on here but in reality I am not nice when people say things that they don't really have a clue about. I know and attend functions on an annual basis that are sponsored by members of Kappa Alpha Psi (including regional and national officers of Kappa) and they alwys address me as Soror. Even if they didn't I still wouldn't give a dam either way because I am what I am and Sigma is what she is and has been since 1922 - regardless of the Indiana bond, Golden Luv bond, canine connection or whatever

What I can't understand is why it matters so much to someone like you. You are all over the AKA board giving shout-outs to chapters and happy incorporaters day and have not even introduced yourself properly as an AKA Soror or Sisterfriend.

Nonchalant is not a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha. The only introductions we need are those of "members" of AKA.

C'mon Blue Reign, you know SFs (and our respective sorors) are all over GC.

<---Today, Not defending nor justifying the words of ANYONE.

[BlueReign]

I'm sorry. I...just...get...so worked up (panting and out of breath) when someone makes a comment about Kappas and SGRhos having love for each other.

OK, I'm breathing easier now. Time to go to lunch and maybe stop by my Principal's office. He's a good lookin Kappa. Maybe I'll go bat my eyes and smile at him.

[nonchalant]

As my signature states, it is what it is. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. To each his own. Anywho, with that being said, kiss @$$ is something that I simply do not do. You really have me messed up in that dept. Was raised better than that. Not in my character.

Dissing Delta. Hmmm.....interesting.I don't feel that I dissed them. I feel a diss involves downing someone in a negative manner for personal reasons. Seeing as I didn't lie about anything, I don't feel I dissed anyone. Again, to each his own.

Dissing Sigma Gamma Rho, not even. Once again, stating my view. You could be right that I just overlook SGRho. That's really not hard to do(now that's a diss). As one of your sorors stated, some kappas don't even recognize your bond(another example of diss). Was I impressed by your soror and her recruiting act? Yes I was. Am I impressed/interested in your sorority on a personal level? That's an absolutely, positively no, no, no!!!! I love all the Greek orgs and what they do for the community, but that statement about me liking SGRho on that level is too much to handle.

The group of people that I hang with are composed of every BGLO with the exception of SGRho. That's not done purposely. That's just how it is. Now ya know my social circle. Hope I touched on everything. If not, it really aint that serious. Be easy!

Oh Lawd!!! I'm co-signing w/ BlueReign. I never get tired of this. I love my Sigma Ladies, but some of you, and I mean some of you, know how to kick up a storm over some has-been nonsense. No matter what anyone says, we are bonded to each other. Our founders knew that and any greek worth their salt knows that. So what if one or two or twenty disagree. Just move to Miami, Fl and you'll see. KAPsi and SGRho just go so good together.

[BlueReign]

OK, I'm back from lunch now.

"He likes me. He really likes me!!"

It's so important to me these days that I gotta have that Indy-Luv Connection. And Marquise1911, I co-sign with you too babe!

Okay, so you *clearly, cleary* have issues with SGRho. Whatever they are will most likely not get straighten out on this MB. How 'bout writing in to the 'Dr. Phil Show' telling them your topic and then maybe they will feature you.

I can see the commerical now: (ahem, let me clear my throat for my announcer voice) -

'Coming up on Dr. Phil!!!!!! Nonchalant talks about her burden of having to endure life without meeting many SGRhos!!! She'll talk about her painful struggle when she goes to many campuses and does not meet any chapter members. She'll also talk about how she copes with not being impressd with SGRho. Tune in to find out how she resolves all of her issues with SGRho. You will not want to miss this episode. Also, tune in to see if she spontaneously combusts when in the presence of members of SGRho. Get your VCR ready. Everyone will be talking about this around the water cooler the next morning.'

See how easy it can be!!! You won't have to live with your SGRho troubles any more!!!

Lmao, too funny once again. Reading is fundamental. Comprehending is understanding what was read. Therefore, either you can't read or can't comprehend. Which is it? Hmmm.... Never said I had problem with SGRho. If that's what you gathered then that's a personal issue that you need to resolve with the school system you were in attendance with. Poor baby.
