Thanks Churchlady for the support. One savvy diva you are right. I try not to respond to everything people post but when people get to calling me names like ignorant then I suppose I just can't help myself but to response sometimes. Or if people are way off when they are talking about something I said. You know what I mean. I do have an e-mail addy I do not know why its not coming up but it is asiablake@hotmail.com .......andPEACE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YO ARE TALKING ABOUT!

What does any of this have to do with Greek life? It seems as if this board has become more of a racially-based grievance board than an open discussion, usually with bad grammar and headache-inducing caps. Why don't we all do ourselves (and eachother) a huge favor and drop the topic?

Even if the topic is dropped from this board, it's not going to go away. The heated discussions that have taken place on these boards are a clear showing that we still have a very long way to go before race is no longer an issue. You can't just close your eyes and make it go away or ask that a topic be dropped because you're uncomfortable talking about it or you don't see how it relates. As greeks, we're supposed to be leaders in our communities. Whether you want to accept it or not, racial issues are a part of not only greek life, but daily life.

I'm completely aware that this is an issue, and it will always be an issue. We have, however, strayed far away from the topic at hand, which is what's annoying me. There is, in general, an overall lack of negativity on this board, and it seems that this specific topic is a breeding ground for a lot of it.

I FILL THAT YOUR PHILOSOPHY IS NOT WHAT YOUR OR ANY FOUNDERS REALLY HAD IN MIND. I UNDERSTAND YOU IDEOLOGY BUT TO SAY THAT ABOUT YOUR WOULD BE SOROR IS COMPLETELY NOT UNDERSTANDABLE BY ME

BELEIVE IT OR NOT WE ALL GET ALONG BUT WE ARE FOR THE MOST PART HAPPILY SEGREGATED! YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE WHITE WOMEN IN MY SORORITY OF CHOICE! IF I MAKE IT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT ONE GREEK ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT IS...........EVERY FRIEND IS NOT A SOROR AND EVERY SOROR IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!!!!! OK

hOW CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE REALLY A MEMBER IF YOU ARE LETTING GO OF A SOROR, JUST BECAUSE OF HER COLOR. i VIEW MY SORORITY LIKE THIS. THE FOUNDERS ARE THE MOTHERS OF MY SORORITY AND THEY HAVE GIVEN BIRTH (REBIRTH) TO US AND THEREFORE I WILL LOVE EACH CHILD OF MY FOUNDERS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL MADE UNDER THE SAME IDEALS AND AND CARE FOR THE SAME THINGS.

I know this is late but, PRETTY GIRL the sororities in the NPHC do not discriminate on the basis of race or national origin. You are not even in an orginazation and already talking about who YOU will let in. Everyone gets a vote and the majority rules, not one persons vote. You have to be voted in yourself, so what makes you think you are a shoo in? Yes we are founded as African- American sororities, but we would rather have a hard working WHITE member who is down with our goals and philosophy(Scholarship, service, sisterhood) than a black, letter wearing, pretty party girl. Remember, we are founded on Christian principles, so you need to get over the discrimination craze and see past color. It's not like the white girls are breaking down the door to become members of BGLOs anyway.One here and there occasionally is what I have seen.

Oh my god give it a rest! geez!

ekception17 · #70 06-22-2000, 02:27 PM

I agree 1913% with everything DiSTinguished has said. As far as the opinions of prettygyrl goes---Why do you care you are NOT even greek. And always remember this--before you get a chance to VOTE on someone else, someone has to vote on you =-)!!!!! So get a grip and get over yourself.

Well put and it is amazing that prettygirl only wants to give it a rest when she knows that she has finally gotten to the point were she can't try to wessel out of the truth.

OK. I don't care what you all talk about. You can talk about anything you want. It can be a heated discussion or it can be silly or whatever. But I am getting sick and tired of all the name calling and bashing. Didn't your mothers ever tell you 'if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all.' The topic is fine, but there is no need to personally attack any person on this board, and that goes for everyone. If you can't start being respectful to each other, then the topics are going to start getting deleted. Like I said, the topics are fine but when I see some of the messages that are designed to try to personally hurt someone instead of adding a opinion to the topic, that makes me a bit upset. You don't know these people, you don't know where they've been, how they were raised, where they come from, or what they've gone through. So stop with the personal vindictivness. I don't know how many times I have to post this before someone listens. All of you need to get over yourselves from the way things sound! Nobody here is better than anyone else, so cut the name calling and bashing. Thanks.

No dear I know the truth actually! I said give it a rest because alot of people here still saying unrealistic bs!iTS REALLY GOING NO WHERE! I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING DISHED MY WAY TRUST ME! I WISH I COULD SPEAK TO YALL FACE TO FACE! Get over myself(LOL) Why don't some of you get over me? Exception17 ummmmmmm I know the process as far as voting goes and whether I get in or not my feelings will remain the same! Like I said before I can not STOP them from getting in whether I was greek or not but I do not have to like it nor do you have to dislike it. People like yall can keep on saying its okay for you to call a white woman soror or a white man husband nothing i say can stop that. BUT as you go on in life and you continue to see your black brothers fried in the electric chair (when there is no solid proof of a crime), Continue to see WHITE police officers gunning your Black brothers and sisters down or standing aorund watching as your Black sisters while they are raped and beaten, Continue to read about lawsuits that many Blacks have to file everyday because of the biased and unjust treatment they constantly get in the world, Continue to read about the HATE crimes committed on predominately White campuses, torward Blacks all the time! Continue to see the same White people, who claim to have no racist views or who say "I never had a slave so why complain to me", get ahead in life while stepping all over you. As the years go on and you continue to witness all the pain and unjustices done to your people at the hands of them, if you can look over at your WHITE soror/frat or your WHITE GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND and trully feel like yall identify with each other enuough to claim love........then I say go for it because obviously your love for us is not as strong as it should be, if thats the case then I guess we do not need ya anyway! Yall might as well go around the U.S. with that Black guy that is lobbying to end Affirmative Action! I mean if things are really like yall claim it is or should be then we do not need Affirmative Action now do we? Please! Yall Just As Misconstrued as that guy is! If that guy gets his way how many of your white sorors and frats will be there for you when you are out of a job? I suppose that when laws like that are not in place the amount of Blacks pledging Bglos will go up because they will not be getting into the white ones anymore I am sure! Point is we are different PERIOD! We are always going to be different! The only thing that we have in common is just the simple Human like qualities (such as breathing, bleeding) everything after that will be very different and it is those things that mold and shape us! We are different! Until some people just accept that and quit trying to force all of us to feel something deep for each other we may never feel then we will always have problems with each other! We can exist in ths world to together without being TOGETHER! GET THE PICTURE! NOW.......MUCH LOVE TO ALL MY PEOPLE EVEN THE ONES THAT HAVE NONE FOR ME, BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF YALL STILL SUFFERING FROM THAT SLAVE MENTALITY!
