Both my brothers were in what were considered the best fraternities on campus. They never bought any shit like some of you stupid fucks are talking. They were in there because they thought it might help in getting laid. I think any chick that hooks up with someone just because they got some studpid ass symbol on their shirt deserves anything she gets. I'm not saying I don't appreciate easy girls!!!!!! Anyway, God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!


Even though you only have 2 posts on GC I think you should know that the majority of us here do NOT think this way nor do we fit the stereotypical image of fraternity and sorority members. That being said you might want to take your views on greek life and such elsewhere b/c I know that what you said up there offended me as I'm sure it did others as well.

Just my $.02

I agree with CutiePie2000. The very first line in Phi Mu's Creed is "To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand". Then it says "To be to others what we would they would be to us" (which, to me, includes walking up to someone you don't know and being rude about whatever shirt they might be wearing). Then later on we've got "To minister to the needy and unfortunate". So if I was to see a homeless person wearing my letters or any letter shirt, I would not think of them as devaluing the meaning of those letters. I would think that whoever donated the shirt was doing a good deed and be happy that this person has a shirt to wear. To think otherwise, IMO, would go against the ideals of my sorority!

also...

And furthermore...

I *hate* the term "GDI" anyways. I do NOT use that expression in any shape, form, or fashion. I am a Christian and I find it highly offensive.

The homeless

Hey! I just wanna put my 2 cents in, don't wanna start anything!
Most homeless and poor have not been that way for their whole life and it was just circumstances that brought them there in the first place, maybe they did go to college and was a part of a GLO. Who are we to judge people? Don't judge a book by its cover.

Last Wednesday I was at work, helping a customer.

So I ring him up and he pulls out his Chi Omega Visa card. I ask him if his wife is a Chi Omega and he says nope. They just both have the card.

I then informed him that Chi Omega is a sorority. He seemed surprised.

Re: Chi Omega Credit Card

Several years ago I was on a step team and our coach was an Alpha Phi Alpha man. The team was getting ready to practice at this auditorium that we were performing in for a Black History program and there was a woman there in an APhiA sweatshirt. Our coach about freaked out and he approached her. He asked her where she got the sweatshirt and she said it belonged to her ex-boyfriend! He went ballistic! He wanted her to go home or wherever and take off the sweatshirt. Needless to say, she didn't. We had to calm him down, but we told him that he couldn't make her take off the sweatshirt. He even went to his car, got another tee shirt and asked her to wear that instead of the sweatshirt.
I felt bad for him, but I blamed the frat brother for not getting all his stuff back from the woman.

In all honesty, I was glad it wasn't an AKA sweatshirt she had on...
