In the early '20s when he was serving as a pastor of a baptist church in Atlanta, he went to a Que picnic on a Sunday afternoon after he got out of the pulpit. Someone from the church saw him dancing at the event with some woman. Well, they took this back to the board and there was a big stink about it, and he almost got fired. But a "Die Hard Que" has to do what he has to do: Be OWT!

I know that's right... there's still a stigma that goes along with "being" Greek... like you can't be both a Christian and a member of a BGLO!? But I beg to defer.

LMAO, You all are killing me over here! Before I could recover from laughing at CT4s list here comes Wolfman with that branding story. That was too funny.

I learned a valuable lesson today- do not try and drink beverages or eat while you are reading GC posts because you never know what's around the corner.

A funny story about this particular "die hard" Que activity. On one occasion, when the "Omega oil" was flowing freely, a group of younger bruhs were comparing their "hits" with a bit of the male braggadoccio in play. In fun, one early '60s brother decided he wanted to shut them all up. He got up and went into the midst of this group, unzipped his pants and showed them his prized "hit." The younger bruhs scattered like the men who left the scene of the woman caught in adultery after Jesus wrote on the ground.There was no more conversation about hits!

OH MY.

Every Omega I know fits this profile.

Glad you ladies got a kick out of the story! This is a true story that I witnessed in my Que sojourn. Omega is the greatest fraternity because of the intensity of the male comradeship, love and sharing, combining extreme Christian belief and reprobate behaviour, sometimes by the same people! It's always interesting being a bruh! Not for the weak of heart, self-righeous or uncommitted!

I've just come back from visiting an Omega brother made in the '40s who's in a nursing facility due to a stroke he suffered a few years ago. The LORD put it on my heart to go see him today. His wife was there and we all talked and had a good time. Before I left, the brother, who was a genetics prof., was talking to me about pledging and his LBs. He struggled to tell me an "off-color" Que dog joke about sex that one of his LBs told him. He finallly got it out and we laughed. Ques are always young at heart with an indomitable "joie de vivre" of masculine sexuality and good humor.

Such a great story. Glad that you went to visit him. I am sure your visit meant a lot to him.

Wow thank you for sharing that.

And yes, the sexuality of Omegas has not been wasted on me.

Great story, Wolfman. I'm sure your visit touched his heart in a might way.

I've met some of the older members of my boo's chapter. They are indeed a hoot, LOL!!!

Stories. I met a bruh in seminary who was a assistant pastor of a baptist church, who went by the name of Rev. Que. When he came to my seminary,adorned with his many "hits," to do work in a special youth evangelism program, we'd talk. When he wasn't in class or in the library, he was in the club at night. The bruhs!

He told me that the senor pastor of his church, a Sigma, used to call the bruhs the "Philistines." When the chapter had a line they would come to Wed. night Bible Study all roughed up and smelly in Que form, making their grand entrance. That got on that senior pastor's nerves!

LMBO @ Bible Study. Well at least the Bruhs were getting the Word. Did any of them bark?

[Wolfman]

No, Rev. Que tried to keep them under control, reminding them where they were at! That's what he said.

Another one for the list:

Ques are hyper competitive in all things as it regards Inter-Greek activities.

Story: This past year a group from my grad chapter participated in the Susan G. Komen Bowl for the Cure Bowling Event to raise money for Breast Cancer Research, sponsored by a local AKA grad chapter. We got our team together and paid our money for one main reason: we wanted to win! There were teams from local universities, community groups,companies and Greeks. Of course when the introduction of the teams came up we all barked and cut up, and an undergrad set out a hop in the lane. During the bowling, while everyone else was having fum, we were trash talking to each other and having a good time. (Last year some of us went to the parking lot to partake of some "Omega oil" before the bowling started!) Anyway, at the end of this fun, family atmosphere fund raiser, the announced the results. We were on edge--we wantethe trophy. Nobody else really cared. It was brought to a fever pitch when it was announced that the Nupes had gotten 2nd place. Then the first place winners were announced. We won! And pandaemonium broke out! We always have a good time--a loud, raucus, good Que time wherever we're at!

Good thing he didn't slip and break his neck on those polished lanes.

CTHU. I was thinking the same thing.

Wolfman, keep the stories coming. They're very entertaining and educational.
