Obviously a joke and not the true meaning of the Greek letters that Sigma Kappas hold so dear. I don't know them, and I'm not asking.
That board was so full of deliberate misinformation, personal attacks and various and sundry acts of wanton debauchery that it deserved being shut down. Good for a little snicker or two, though.

That's why my mom (a Sigma Kappa) loves Swedish Meatballs

In any event, while I did stumble across a particular site that I am sure has upset a great many people (and justifiably so!), you have to trust that your fellow Greeks are behind you and trust that people are intelligent enough to read whatever is out there and come to their own concusions.....free speech, baby!

Hence why I said "no offense to you APhi Diva"...I KNOW you were not the only person asking, that's my whole point! That type of question is what I was talking about though. Please forgive me for not going through the entire thread and quoting every person who asked for the addresses!!!!!!!
It's NOT "funny" and "a good laugh" when any greek org gets trashed on a website - when people post lies and ridiculous accusations. And it's not my fellow greeks I'm worried about. I know you all know enough to see how stupid the sites are. It's the PNMs and parents of incoming Freshmen who will see these things, not realize they are hooey, and stay away from the greek system because of it. What do we not all understand about this?!?!?!?

I have to say xo kathy i agree with what your saying because if it was about my chapter i would be pissed to, but seriously you cant take that out on people that dont know about it or people that want to know whats going on. If people want to know thats there problem and if people start threads about stuff like that, then its when maturity kicks in and says im an adult, this is something that bothers me and just not read it. What is the point of going into the thread to begin with, honestly all it does is get you mad and go and yell at someone. I have to be honest that i know you were not taking a personal attack on someone but its only fair that if that thread goes up that the people who dont know whats going on can ask. Its not right for you to say that they are not. I myself asked what was going on cause i did not know. If people want to know and want to check it out, and saying they want a good laugh, is saying it because they realize the stuff is not true and laugh about it because its so stupid its funny. Im sorry i just needed to put my two cents in here because i cant believe how many people take this board so much to heart that they yell at other people, I think you didnt just take a personal attack on one person i think you were just yelling at everyone. Oh yeah and about the parents and pnm's seeing these sights i would hope that they would have enough common sense to find out a little more about it then just what one or two websites have to say.

If some freshman really thinks that Gamma Phi Beta means good flowers bloom and Sigma Kappa means swedish meatballs, do we really want them in the Greek system? I'm sorry, but anybody who believes that a fraternity or sorority would allow their ritual secrets to be openly bantered about like that might not be the best candidate for membership.
And yes, one of our new girls was disappointed to find out Love in IIKE didn't mean Play Kazoos Everywhere. Did they even have kazoos back in 1874?

Hey! Listen, I feel REALLY BAD about the content of the website that shall remain nameless, and I never would have asked for the link if I knew what sort of stuff was involved! I thought it would be, like, Alpha Phi makes you eat goldfish or nonsense like that....I hear your concern about parents, etc....the bottom line is that people are going to form opinions and make stuff up, whether it is about Greeks, celebrities, or the average Joe on the street.....part of free speech is putting all the info out there and letting people decide for themselves....do you really want someone who does not have the intelligence to weed through crap information and form their own opinions as part of your group in the first place??

Ladies - I'm not yelling at people for asking. (Actually, I'm not yelling at all!) I get frustrated when people bring up the sites. I simply used someone's question post as a point to the people who are bringing up the threads. People won't ask if they have nothing to ask about. But then that person accused me of singling them out and I just wanted to let her know I wasn't trying to do that.
As far as not wanting people who actually believe those things, well, I had plenty of women who I am proud to call my sister be a little nervous about some things they had seen...
Also, I go into the thread to make sure nothing is being thrown around that shouldn't be. If someone posts a link, I want to make sure it gets removed (P.S. - I did that for another org besides my own in another thread...)
I'm sorry if I ticked anyone off. That wasn't my intention. But seriously, Sweedish Meatballs is a little different than some of the other accusations, don't ya think?

No problem! And I wasn't really mad and didn't think you were trying to "yell" at me...I guess I just refuse to believe that anyone would take that stuff seriously and don't view it as a real threat to any of our organizations! But if my chapter were the subject of something like that, I'm sure I'd be raising hell, too!!

So it's gone, LOL. My high school daughters used to spend a lot of time on that one and who knows what they posted on it? They're very Greek-savvy.
