Pikes at Howard Update

In this case, APO does count. You see, APO chapters don't exist in a vacuum. The fact that APO DOES have SAEs and Betas and Pikes says something valuable here.

APO was a fraternity of men -- all men, and mostly white -- that expanded to historically black colleges at a time when NIC fraternities were not. Yet, many of those men were also members of NIC fraternities.

I wasn't going to let you trash-talk my fraternity when frankly, an all-white GLO is an all-white GLO, regardless of what type of "outfit" is is. It MEANS something that a group of white men colonized at an HBCU. In 1947. And again and again for years and years.

Not a club -- but a fraternity.

WAAAAAYYYYYYYLLLLLLLEEEEEEE! (read: well)

Preach it, Brother Senusret!

us old folks think fondly of fraternity as it was; what it may be today in your minds is sometimes another matter. To me, a
fraternity is a place, generally with a house, where men live in
fraternal harmony and have a social program plus other interests.
Later arrivals want to be like the "old fraternity" but do not have
the commitment to come forth with the full measure.
Perhaps we ought to re-define fraternity...
I bet that Beta or SAE has their APO shingle hanging on the wall of their principal fraternity. Gosh, my Alpha Theta Rho art fraternity, which was co-ed, had a picnic yearly and the Poly Sci
Pi Sigma Alpha a banquet and Sigma Delta Pi spanish one had a
chili feed. But that does not necessarily fulfill a description of what a fraternity is. Betas made grades, played IMs, dated girls,
had parties, exchanges, work weeks, public service, rush parties,
leadership schools while the other groups played cards in the union. Most of us belonged to various professional or honorary or
some type of club, but it was hardly comparable to what we called a fraternity. You can call these wannabes anything you want to, you can pretend you are really doing something. You can
even install a urinal in the Pi Phi house. You are a sniveling lot of
folks, but within this hoi-polloi lies some good ones, too. I prefer
to communicate to them, and the rest of you...well, potrzebie

Thats about the age people are supposed to start achieving the detachment necessary to seperate their extreme emotion from the basis and substance of their arguments.

This is not directed at Ladygreek or anyone actually. I just saw this post and wanted to respond.

To take it a step further. I am not sure how it was with anyone else growing up, but losing self control or blasting people in a moment of pique was not only never lauded, it was never explained to me that it would be admirable to do so when we grow up.


Edited for some spelling.

define showing extreme emotion. because someone decides to chide an unintelligent individual or gets angry at the extreme ignorance shown on this site by numerous individuals, they're acting immature? last time i checked, no one has tried to stifle the anyone else's free speech with the exception of the moderators. hardly what i'd call that. obviously, you're lost on the concept of an internet message board.

spare us the irrelevant speech on messageboard "etiquette". unless someone on here is making asbestos death threats over the internet, the point of this post is truly lost because of it's uselessness.

if you feel that the discussion is heated, have someone delete the thread or don't click on it. problems always resolved that way. to take it a step further, i'd say that most people have a decent amount of self control on this site unless they're cussing up a storm about how they're going to beat someone's behind upon site. if you don't feel that way, you can always click the little red x at the upper right hand corner of your screen.

feminine emotions? explain. if not, spare me your psycho babble bullshit and stop trying to make every one of your posts some kind of dissertation.
you act like some high and mighty being when, in fact, you are just a simple little person that likes to hear the sound of their own voice....or in this case.....the look of their own words.

half of the stuff I post is meant to see how people like you react. i might be truthful in the posts, but i could definitely word them differently if it weren't so damned funny to see all the reactions.

just because you're not intelligent enough to hang, not my problem. welcome to the real world, twit...where people can actually articulate their thoughts without turning to racial slurs everytime they see fit. it's a wonder that you were even able to gain acceptance into a university let alone pledge a fraternity with your piss poor logical thought process.

but i do find it funny, that you throw those around "just to see how people react." then nut up like a 4 year old girl when someone asks you to reiterate. the funniest reaction of all are yours, and i do find it funny when i see you backpeddling because someone didn't want to overlook your extreme stupidity and ignorance.

what do you want me to reiterate....lets hear it? i dont remember anyone asking me that. i am perfectly ingtelligent enough to hang with you squirt. you bring up the exact same demeaning excuse for and insult every time you respond to me. you are unoriginal. well sister, I did get into the university of my choice....as well as ivy leagues and all of the other schools that I applied to. somehow, I even managed to get into a top tier fraternity, make very good grades, and then get into every law school that i applied to......even though my logic is shot.

so again.....tell me what you want to hear, becuase I don't know when I ever nutted up like a four year old girl.

try harder...I know you can do better than this

so did the dubya, but i'd hardly call that any natural ability. maybe it's something in the water down there, lol. i don't need to hear anything, twit....the proof is in the pudding and your post history. but i do find it funny how you want to explain your "accomplishments" to everyone at the first drop of hat whenever someone decides to clown you.

"my daddy was a nobel peace prize winning neuroscientist and i got into EVERY college in the world, from oxford to bob jones U."

if anyone has feminine tendencies on this booch, that finger would have to be pointed at you. the most explaininest mofo that this site has ever seen, LOL. a word from the wise, if an internet screen name can cause you to give out your social security number and bank passwords, you might want to back up from the keyboard.
