Yeah whatever. Should be mad cause Mocha, youre one of the people Im talking about. I'd rather read and get a feel about things than tell XYZ for the zillionth time how much Im interested in their sorority. And how you can have the nerve to get down in conversations you should not be apart of anyway I just dont know.

This makes me mad cause then they go lump us all in the same category.

People come on. Really

I don't know why I'm responding to your pathetic ass, but I feel compelled to. First off, as anyone can read any and all of my posts, it is quite obvious that I'm far from kissing ass. In fact, most of what I have expressed in any of the forums have absolutely nothing to do with Greek life, odd as that may seem. Know what you speak upon before you start talking out yo ass
Furthermore, I, like most people in these forums, respond to ALL posts that I find interesting...not just those dealing with Greek life, unless, of course, it is stated that the post is for members to respond to only.
Looks to me like you've taken an extra dose of that Hatorade today...what's the matter? Issues becoming too much for you to deal with? I have important things to deal with at this time, but I promise I will get at you later!

the purpose of the individual chat rooms for each organization is to post info and to talk about topics be it current events, about the sorority/fraternity, or other greek issues that pertain to that organization. Non greeks are allowed in those forums as long as you are registered with greekchat (That doesn't mean you Damn and Pleaze!) Many of us (Non Members) in the rooms are seeking membership with the orgs and just want to associate with women/men who are where we want to be... nothing wrong with that. NO ASS KISSING INVOLVED!

I couldn't have said it better!

And I said I was going to keep my 1 cent out of it! (I guess ya'll should have known I wouldn't, LOL)

Diva_56 and Mocha,

I understand what you two are saying and I agree with you about pursuing your goal with earnest...

However...

There are people on these forums who do 'kiss butt'. I have seen it in ALL of the BGL Sororities forums, and it is not necessary. Why do those people feel the need to continually shower people they don't know with praise about how wonderful they are? It's one thing to compliment the organization, but some people on this forum take it to the next level. IMO, that's ridiculous. It's the internet for goodness sakes. Maybe I am in the minority here among my greek sisters, but that irks me to no end.

Like my Soror, Finer Woman10-A-91 said: "Be humble, be discreet, do your research, do your school work...no average students!"

Like MaMaBuddha: "Be Yourself!"

If it doesnt apply to you , dont sweat it. Diva I never thought you were a kiss up. But alot of other girls are here

[ManndingoNUPE]

Dangggggg! I think that everyone has thier own opinion on what should be said and not as far as potentials go. And I can see both sides, But just for you folks trying to join a BGLO, a few words of advice.

1. Descretion is best.
2. Repeat #1
3. Don't be so eager to show all of your cards too early in the game.
4. Our orgs are world wide, and guess what? We talk to each other all the time.

(I could tell you the name and rank of this Kandy azz fella trying to perp Kappa in Germany. Germany!!! You get my point.)
If he ever makes it back state side, and shows up in DC trying to perp, he will get the beat down of his life.

If you do show your true colors and let a member know your feelings, be sure that your s$%^t is tight.

While I think that you should get to know the members of that org,I am sorta feeling Damn on not having my e-mail and other info out there for everyone to know, especially if I am a potential. The great part about forums like this is that none of us know each other (for the most part). That enables us to say things that we might not say face to face. Now I may not (and often don't like) some of the questions that people pose here. But you know what? Who cares? Yawl don't know me, and outside of the Nupes, I probably won't meet any of yawl, unless you come to DC and want to Kick it with a brother.

Just my two cents.

MN

If you don't personally know a member of XYZ, what's attracting you to them? Image? What you think the organization stands for? That means like someone said a while ago you must not be doing SERVICE or must not be involved in any CIVIC organizations. If you were you'd know several
XYZers.

Look interests, I'm in the same boat, and Im mad that Ive even said this much but yall are too much. Don't put yourself out there so much. Talking about whatever is fine but once it gets to talking about membership related stuff you have stepped over some bounds. IT COULD ALL COME BACK TO YOU FOR REAL THOUGH THE GREEKS HERE DONT TELL YOU THAT!

*giving ZetaAce and Finer Woman10-A-91 a hi-5*

MandingoNUPE also said it best...and i quote:

1. Descretion is best.
2. Repeat #1
3. Don't be so eager to show all of your cards too early in the game.
4. Our orgs are world wide, and guess what? We talk to each other all the time.

i am still cracking up because in this because as ZetaAce stated and i quote

"There are people on these forums who do 'kiss butt'. I have seen it in ALL of the BGL Sororities forums, and it is not necessary. Why do those people feel the need to continually shower people they don't know with praise about how wonderful they are?

*it does me too, you are not the only one*

that is my whole $19.13 and my $19.25 worth....you do the math

[DirectorDST99]

First of all, let me say this: I certainly exercise my First Amendment right and I'm an advocate for free speech. I love this form of computer network speech. So, Damn, do your thing but please register as a member. Your post really made me think about some things such as:

1. Yes, there are some butt kissers on GreekChat, but in all actuality who really cares because what can I REALLY do about it????

2. If these interested folks, especially those who frequent the Delta Sigma Theta forum, have not paid attention to what many of us have stated in the past about qualifications of membership into our esteemed sisterhood, they can do all the butt kissing they want....it won't help unless they have their "stuff" and "act" together.

3. If the shoe fits, wear it! Don't get bent all out of shape over a post.

4. Some of you all ought to be glad that I don't have time to find out what schools you attend because I would road trip!

I'm back. Now, as far as putting an e-mail address or the name of the school one attends out for everyone up here to see, I personally don't see a problem with it...unless you have something to hide. So, to me that says a lot for people who come in the forums with the sole purpose of stirring things up. If you're up here chatting, responding to different posts, etc. and not setting off senseless arguments and being disrespectful, then there shouldn't be a problem. If you are...then your best bet is to stay unregistered. This way you can say all sorts of things and no one will know who you are. I don't do that sort of thing and I am registered so I feel quite comfortable with my posts. I can be myself...and guess what? If I weren't being myself, it would be ignorant on my part KNOWING that I have all my business out there. So that's my opinion on that.
I didn't think...rather, I KNEW "Damn's" comments could not be applied to me, but I find it very hard to sit back and watch people come in these forums with the sole intent of being rude and nasty. That is whether, they're referring to me or other sistas on this board. Instead of questioning why interests are sweating and kissing ass all the time...I question why another interest who has merely sat back and been a silent participant up until now (and out of all the wonderfully interesting topics that are discussed) decides the one time they do want to come in and particiapte it's something negative. Some people.....
AND...As far as "Damn's" last post "if you don't personally know a member of XYZ, what's attracting you to them...yadda, yadda, yadda" I don't know WHERE that came from. All out of left field and what have you...Girl, I don't know what you're talking about with that one...guess it's just you being angry and griping again *sigh*
Anyway, I won't continue with this little game...I just wanted to let you know that I'm not mad at ya, don't have an angry bone in this body
Just try and get rid of some of that anger sweetie...other interests kissing ass is really no reason to get yourself all worked up. Especially since you're not a member of any Greek organization and they're not kissing up to you....consider yourself lucky for not having to put up with it personally. Please sista, try and get past this...let it go. I'm sure you have more important things to worry your little head over.

Oh, and Zeta Ace, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have seen some of the posts of intersts who are screaming "How Can I Be Down"... Im not questioning that. I am questioning why another interest...Another Interest would feel the need to post something so trivial, and in the rudest way she could muster it up? Is this the way interests should be acting toward each other? We're all in the same boat, you know? I see plenty of things said in these forums by interests that I sometimes cringe at, if I really had a problem with it...I'd e-mail them personally and express my "problem with them", it's all in how you go about doing things. I believe it's called being tactful.

Dang my post was long! Sorry y'all!
I'll delete it myself after a while...
Diva_56, thanks for lookin' out girl! Anyone that's literate, can see I don't go around repeatedly professing my love for the sorority that I'm interested in. Heck, I can't even remember the last time I posted anything regarding me seeking membership into the org! Folks are just too funny in here!

[Monique]

lol..lmao.. did some of yall hear Directordst99..she said yall better be glad she don't know where some of yall stay because she will do a road trip..lol.. that was funny to me.. ok now to damn.. if u ask me i think u trying to kiss a little ass your self with this topic..Mocha wouldn't u agree?

[AKA2D '91]

I can only speak for my organization's page. If you would go there (AKA), you will indeed find that most of our topics, at least 90% of them DO NOT deal with the Sorority.

Basically, our forum discusses what is HOT at the moment...i.e. CDs, music groups, critical thinking questions, scenarios, the list goes on and on...

So most of those non-Sorors who are posting don't really say I am interested in XYZ. Basically, they have found a topic that is interesting to them and respond accordingly. From time to time issues or situations occur relative to the Sorority and we respond accordingly as well. And these same SFs who have posted in our forum have posted in other forums, too, so who am I to say if they are interested in ABC or 123?

HOWEVER, I have said this to say...that I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED ANY AZZ KISSING... FRANKLY, MOST OF MY SORORS (INCLUDING MYSELF)IN THE FORUM HAVE ALREADY GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE, THERFORE, THEY (I) DO NOT HAVE SAY IN WHO DOES OR DOES NOT GET INTO THE ORGANIZATION.

WE ARE ALL SISTERS AND SHARE MANY THINGS IN COMMON (EVEN THE SISTER-SORORS IN THE OTHER ORGS). WE SHARE MANY EXPERIENCES THAT MANY IN THIS FORUM DO NOT SHARE...

THEREFORE, ALL WE CAN DO IS OFFER OUR ADVICE TO THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING MEMBERSHIP, REGARDLESS OF THE ORGANIZATION.

Monique, girl, I'm way ahead of you! I figured that out hours ago. It's cool though, she hasn't managed to kill my good spirit...I got love for everyone on this board...no matter how hostile they choose to be

[Diva_56]

I'm Backkkkkk

Wow I never thought this would get so many responses, Well to each everybody's own, I do agree that discretion is VERY important, if your are a young lady/man that can handle your buisness its fine. There are lots of loose mouths out here that don't. Jesus has a plan for me and he will fufill it in His riches in glory. Don't get caught up in the drama and live life as God would expect you to. Anybody who has done it knows how hard it is to approach a member of the org you want to join for the first time. Greeks are people too. When we realize this and not look to members of XYZ sorority/fraternity as just a means to be down, we can cut the apprehension,

Blessed be and be Blessed!

Just some truth from the Diva.
