Crimson Tide,

Thank you so much for posting this! I HATE pop up ads, they simply get in the way.

They even have wedding stories.

This is an excerpt:
I have remained on friendly terms with my ex-boyfriend "Steve" since we broke up about 12 years ago. (I got married 3 years ago; Steve came to our wedding and my husband had no problem with it.) Steve recently became engaged and will be getting married in 2 months. Last month, he called to tell me that his fiancée (who I have not met) had forbidden him to invite me to the wedding because I might "still have some influence over him". No problem. I disagree with her logic, but I'm not going to tell her who she should invite to her own wedding.

Well, last week I received an invitation to Steve and "Jean's" wedding. I was initially delighted, thinking that Jean had reconsidered, until I opened it and found that someone had marked a big black "X" across the invitation and written "You'd better not come" on the response card!

hey Sorors and greek friends, my sister and I have recently completed construction on our online paraphernalia site. WE cater to all greeks and many auxiliary organizations, the link is provided in my sig. A site that is of interest to me is:

www.nappturality.com (some knowledge is at this place!)

Less than a year ago, my cousin "Rachel" decided to marry the guy she'd been living with for the last two and a half years. The wedding was a $40,000 extravaganza at a local castle,

with nothing but the best. The bride's parents were asked to finance the entire event, even though they enjoy very modest means (he's a construction worker, and she's a bank teller). Graciously and lovingly, they agreed, and proceeded to take out a loan to cover most of the expense. Another note I must add is that my family (and therefore, Rachel's family) is of Portuguese descent, and so were the vast majority of the guests. Portuguese weddings are expected to be very lavish, with several courses of seafood, meats, and desserts and a completely open bar. Likewise, the guests know that nothing less than a generous gift is expected of them, preferably in cash. (It's just the unspoken custom in this culture). Therefore, my cousin and her new husband were treated to VERY expensive wedding gifts. For example, my parents gave her a $1,000 check.

My gift to the bride and groom amounted to approximately $500. There were approximately 300 guests, so you can imagine how huge a booty they walked off with at the end of the evening.

This would all be fine and dandy, if they hadn't decided to get a divorce three days into their honeymoon.

Nothing dramatic had happened, no fights, nothing. Just a "mutual decision" that they weren't ready for that sort of commitment yet" (mind you they had lived together for almost three years by then, and it should not have taken a $40,000 wedding to determine that they "weren't ready"). To make a long story short, instead of returning the gifts they received to the people who had so generously given them, they decided to keep them (even though their marriage officially lasted a grand total of only three days). What's worse, I recently found out from her own mother that they returned all the gifts and split the money in half. Furthermore, Rachel never made an offer to use that money to help her parents repay the huge loan they had taken out to finance her wedding... Also, neither my parents nor I have yet received a thank you note (although the so-called "wedding" took place almost a year ago) for the gifts we gave them --and a few other guests to whom I have spoken have not either. Apparently, since the marriage was a bust, they felt no need to acknowledge the gifts (or to return them, for that matter!). Needless to say, we are all outraged at their immeasurable and shameless greed.

Can you all tell that THIS is not a BLACK family!!?!?!?! If it were, whoooooo daddy!!

Steeltrap passed this website along to me where they review movies and SOME of the commentary is hiiiiilarious. I just read the one for Kingdom Come and the review was hilarious but not as funny as the one for Save the Last Dance which the reviewer calls Dirty Dancing N Da Hood.

Very interesting site, details the migration of African-Americans from the South to the North.

I found this when I was researching something I read in Veronica Chambers' new book about black women and success.

Despite the title, I like the writer and what she's thinking about. The Jan. 12 entry about being mistaken for the help hits home for me.

Sorors & Friends,

Please take a moment and check out Belly of the Beast Online (www.botbonline.com). The editor of the site is a friend of one of my chapter sorors, a graduate of Morehouse & Brown, and Omega man. (Did I give enough reasons for you to at least look?) The site covers current events and socially relevant issues in the form of an e-magazine/newsletter.

Duke is asking that visitors to the site be sure to sign the guest book and ask whomever you forward this on to to do the same. Additonally, if your chapter or other civic group would like some online publicity, or if you would like to submit an article, e-mail him. He's open to those submissions.

Thanks!

Sorors I need of your help. At the 2000 Convention in Chicago, there was a soror sellling Delta Sarongs, and Fortitude Sarongs. I bought the Delta Sarong, and wore it so many times that when I washed it for the umpteenth time it's pink

Does anyone know the name of the Soror, or company that was selling the sarongs? I also want to buy the Fortitude sarong as well.

THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!
