Nelia Rules - Page 2

Natty Nupe · #1 04-13-2006, 07:09 PM

When I was going over my Polemarch warned us about wearing nelia period. He said "do not wear nelia every day...we are not Ques (no disrespect meant)"

On our campus Fridays was nelia day and when we did wear it, it was just 1 piece. in the SE, wearing too much nelia will get you jumped.

These 'nalia rules are relatively recent, and at least in my org are not official. Back in the day, there were no such rules and folx 'nalia'd down. Now you seem pressed if you do that. I say if it is a private function like a chapter retreat, etc, or you are a neo--do your thing. Otherwise, folx will grow out it in their own time. But to jump someone, or assume they are "paper"--

I agree with you. I honestly didn't know there were "rules" as such until I "heard" folks talking about it here on GC. And yes, I have been guilty of 'nalia overkill, so to speak, but I do like wearing my 'nalia. And I am still known to wear more than one piece at a time.

I saw a woman with AKA nails one day... Is that considered overkill?

NATTY NUPE!!! EPSILON OMEGA IS IN THE BUILDING!!!
But he wasn't teeling a lie. I've seen it happen, when someone has on more than one piece. You get that

look all night at any function. Most brothers feel that since you have on so much pari, you feel like giving some away. Ya'll know what happens next!

I guess I am with you on this one, soror. I don't care how much 'nalia one has on as long as it is respectable, tasteful and she is representing in her behavior and demeanor.

Frankly, I have more of a problem with folks wearing ANY 'nalia and acting a fool, esp in public.

I couldn't agree with you more! Fortunate for me I haven't ran into too many Sorors actin' a fool with 'nalia on but I wouldn't hesitate to have a sisterly word with them if I did.

When it comes to 'nalia I just do what feels comfortable for me- I personally don't like to wear more than one piece of 'nalia at a time. Like I said, I do what feels right to me.

In my chapter, old heads would tell us that it was not cool to double up on 'nalia. The reasons are because people will think that your "paper" or that you'll be an easy target to charged up!!!

PrettyBoy · #12 05-19-2007, 02:48 AM

Yup. Rule of thumb at my chapter, is to never double up on greak gear.

KAPital PHINUst · #13 05-21-2007, 02:17 PM

I only wear one piece of nalia at any given time; no need to double or triple up, especially considering that wearing the colors in lieu of the letters is usually sufficient.

In the SC I have seen people over do it, hell I just crossed, so for about two weeks I over did it, (been looking at Crimson and Cream just wanting to sport it), but I learned quickly that being a Kappa meant carrying yourself differently. No offense to others but hell there ain't nothing like a Kappa man with or without gear on.
