What's the funniest thing a non-greek has ever said to you?

I know that in our college days or after we have in encountered some ignorant GDI's that have said or done some things that are hilarious. Let's share. I'll go first.

Once while walking the yard a young lady walked up to me and said, "Oh I didn't know you were a Kay

( and she pronounced it that way). How do u say the other ones, because they must be is Spanish or something." I almost died laughing.

Once some dude who was interested walked up to me and said, "Can I ask you one question? I want to be a Kappa so bad, but I heard you guys are required to dress up everyday. I don't have any nice clothes so I didn't bother to go to the interest meeting. Is that true?"

I didn't know whether I should be flattered or should slap the hell out of him.

I kept trying to answer this, but everything I think of was just plain annoying and not funny at all.

And I'm a pretty easy-going person, so that's saying a lot.

Hope you don't mind the crash but I thought this one was kinda cute.

At my school, we have Fall Kick-off on the first day of the fall semester. Student organizations set up tables, there is food and freebies, etc. There are always these really random hippie-type dudes who play wooden flutes and meditate. They wear long, flowing white robes and are not American... although I'm not sure what nationality they are. I'm not sure what club they are supporting lol.

Anyway, this one guy walks up to me in letters and proclaimed loudly, "OM!" I was like, ummmm excuse me? And he just kept saying OM, OM over and over. I was totally confused until he pointed to my shirt and said, "OM! You like meditation?" Finally, I figured it out and told him that my shirt said Phi Mu, not OM... but he never really got the picture. He just kept saying, "We like OM!" over and over. However, every time I walked past him later in the day, he gave me a BIG thumbs up, so I guess he was down

I was wearing my Chi Omega badge and was asked:

"Are you a Malcom X fan?"

I just said, "Yes."

Well, most recently a co-worker of mine KEPT saying "06" to me every morning.... I mean sure, if I am wearing my jacket or a shirt or something, I don't mind you acknowledging that I am an Alpha. But negro you KNOW you went to an HBCU and KNOW you ain't supposed to be 06ing all willy nilly.

But he stopped when I gave him my Mr. Darden face.

It's cute when my students say "What's A, O with a line through it, A mean?"

But you know..... my Little Bro (female) in APO walked past a flier that said "AKA Party".....she was like "Also Known As a Party? That doesn't make any sense!!!"

She had a good laugh once she read the rest of the flier.

Once a freshman saw a flier for "Skee-weekend" and was like "How are u gonna have a skee weekend in Florida? Ain't no snow."

And the question remains...to educate or to die laughing...that is the question.

Someone I know just said that isht to me earlier today in an email. He's a Mason and basically thinks that BGLO's are unimportant. I think he got a reject letter.

I was 5 seconds from cussing him out, then I realized that his mind is fixed on a certain mindset and nothing I say will change it. That's his loss for being ignorant.

That was funny for real.

I understand when the kids see my Greek letters and immediately insist, "DO A STEP!" It's not as tolerable when a middle-aged woman doesn't recognize that Greeks do more than step.

My aunt (by marriage) met three sorors as we were returning from an out-of-state Regional Conference. I introduce the sorors, and she immediately replies, "So y'all are in the sorority together? DO A STEP!"

It's common, but it's still irritating.

I was dropping off scholarship applications at a highschool and was carrying a Delta bag with me. While speaking to the principal, somehow or another we got on the subject of spirituality, and he learned that I am a Christian, so he proceeds to say to me "You're a Christian? Wow, I didn't know that you all were into that!"
