I am not rude. I don't know who you are and I am not rude or mean towards you. I simply came to this site because I am interested in starting a womens social group, and I was told I could get some help here.

That's all.

Go bark up someone else's tree because I don't deserve to be bashed.

I'm almost positive you're the same girl. The similarities are too great to be ignored:

- Cristina is not exactly a common name (at least not spelled that way)
- You've made posts in the livejournal sororitygirl community about starting a sorority at your school many, many different times, with many different screen names
- You post your photographs in all your journals, and the style is very similar
- Your writing style and tone are similar
- The things you discuss in your journal, post frequency, etc. are similar
- Your behavior is similar

I had a different livejournal name back then so you may not recognize me, but I'm pretty sure you're the same girl I'm thinking of. Although considering your behavior then, it doesn't surprise me that you're trying to deny it.

Just to let you know, what GeekyPenguin said is true.

The women on this board have a certain sisterhood. No we don't have initiation or a real sisterhood unless we're from the same org...

But DO NOT MESS with my girls!

That's so sweet!

I've been rereading all of your posts, and I have to wonder if you are actually legitimate as well. I always try to have faith in people but I don't think that the way you are being so nasty to people on this board, in all of your different threads is acceptable. If you truly want help, you need to behave in the dignified and polite manner befitting a woman who would belong to any sorority or women's club.

This can be your ritual:

The greek letters Tau Kappa stand for Toublo Kefali. Toublo being the greek word for Brick and Kefali being the greek word for....

Wait. This would be mean. I must shut up.

Thats kind of rude. I really dont get why people are ripping this girl apart about the letters she chose. Yeah, they're part of a national sorority but if this girls campus has no greek system what does it matter? If a group on a campus with no greek system started and named themselves Pi Kappa Beta I wouldn't really care, I mean look at Pi Kappa Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi. These are two completely diff orgs with diff symbols and meanings and we were founded in the same region and time period as each other. If this chick wants to call her sorority sigma kappa epsilon pi let her!

The point is that she wants to be known as Sigma Kappa and just toss the other letters in there...read the posts again.

She also, in another thread, mentioned that she wanted to use Sigma Kappa's symbols, colors, constitution, new member manual and history . . . I don't think people would be getting this worked up over JUST the letters, but in combination with the other stuff.

Not to mention the fact that I'm pretty sure this girl is here just to annoy people . . . check out some of her other posts.

Yea, I agree which is why I quoted someone else and said she was right about us being mean to this girl.

Also, I did not say that because of her wanting to name her sorority something that already exsist. I only was making fun of the MEANING of the letters. She keeps saying she wanted to use Sigma Kappa as her foundation for her sorority (foundation as in starting point, not philanthropy) becuase she likes what their letters stand for. How could she know that? In another thread I explained to her in length about how to develop meaningful letters. It didn't really sink in - so I made up letters that stood for Brick Head. Yes *that* is rude. I shouldn't call her that just because it is hard to understand things.

It's like you came in on one word in a 7 sentence paragraph or something. Please do a search on her posts and read all her threads. What I said was rude (and I admitted it before you even posted), but it was said out of aggrevation.

Yeah!!! The post before this one, above the one I am responding to was rude. Why would you treat someone that way?

Our school does not have a Greek system, so why would it matter what we call ourselves? We aren't ripping off some other sorority organization.

I am not treating you any way. I have tried to be nothing but helpful to you when you started asking question in the sororitygirl livejournal. It just seems what me and other people tell you go in through one ear and out the other, and frankly is is sort of frustrating.

I mean this NOT IN A MEAN WAY, but is english your 2nd language? I am just curious. I think going on what sugar and spice had to say about you - you are just a troll trying to stir up some junk.

In that case (which might be a relief or a pitty to you), I am no longer going to even respond or quote your threads. Obviously nothing I say is getting through to you, and that is only frustrating me - so we'd both be better off.

Good luck in whatever you are trying to do.

Purely based on other posts you have made in all forums (including the Sigma Kappa forum) it sounds like you *are* trying to "rip off" their sorority.

Like many of the Sigma Kappas have said, they are flattered that you like what their organization stands for, however all sorority women and fraternity men hold their organizations dear to their hearts, so when someone decides to make a 'shoot-off' of the organization (Alpha Xi Zeta for example in the Alpha Xi Delta forum) with symbols, colors, etc. that is *extremely* similiar to that of their own sorority, they get rightly upset.

In the SK forum you have posted that you would like to use Sigma Kappas symbols, colors, new member rituals, and in other threads you have mentioned you want to use the "Sigma Kappa" letters specifically because you like what they stand for, yet don't plan on every affiliating with them.

I think everyone is definately confused as to what your real intentions are... whether you really want to start a women's club, a sorority, or if you are just here to make people upset.

Whether or not you're "ripping off some other sorority organization", you have to understand the reason behind the way that everyone feels. The pride that all of us have in our organizations is boundless. All of these organizations were started by someone with their own ideas and their own meanings. We take pride in that! Some cared enough for us to make some sort of legacy that we alone would know and could pass down to our sisters. When I first started looking into founding a sorority, I was just like you. I asked advice from these wonderful women and they helped me very much. The organization that helped me the most was Kappa Delta Chi. They gave me the strength and courage to go out on my own. I started looking into Beta Sigma Phi and am proud to say that I was one of the founding sisters of my chapter. We have our own cherished memories. For you to have anything near the name of a NPC sorority only spits in the face of what they hold dear. That just my 2 cents. I'll step off my soapbox now.

The <b>first</b> intent was to create a social sorority. My school has no Greek life, and trying to start that-- the school may not be accepting to it. Now, I am starting a social women's club, which the school is accepting of. I got the A-OK to create this from the director of student activities, and she told me what to do. She told me that she is interested in this project, and that if we didnt have an advisor, that she'd be willing to work with us. She is the advisor for our group, and that she was an advisor for another womens group at her last job and loved it.

Women's group, not sorority.

I really don't think being a sassy smart@ss is going to earn you any respect here. This is a prime example of why people are not responding well to your threads. If you do think it's "rude", then be the bigger person and step over it and hold your head high and continue on your way. Don't try to be a smart@ss

Women's group, not sorority.

Okay, then you're probably no longer in the right place to be finding help. If you're not going to be a sorority, then a greek message board isn't going to help you too much.

This post has been graped on by The Grapist! Sorority copy-catting just isn't cool! The Sigma Kappas ought to bust a cap in your ass!
