"Just cause he got a t-shirt on, don't make him a brother."
"Just cause he got a t-shirt on, don't make him my brother."
"No one's diamond is higher than yours (if you're a Nupe)."
"Don't lean on the past, but press toward the future."

"no one's diamond is bigger than yours"
-people don't pledge as hard as you think. many often exaggerate to make themselves sound harder
-some people pledge just b/c they hear it is "required" and since they don't know why they really should they get hazed.
-many greeks have very big egos and are very sensitive.
-many of the most amazing Black men I have met have been greek.
-people sincerely believe the stereotypes of the BGLOs
-If someone disses you or your org. it is mostly b/c something is being done well by you or your org. or b/c something is being done poorly by theirs.
-"BGLOs are basically/essentially the same" ( a few people told me this before I crosssed and now that I crossed I see it's true) there just different vehicles on the same path. you choose the orgs. by how you want to get to your goal.
-the Four Rubies is what really makes me love Kappa.

How could I forget this...
Fact:
Stereotypes are rarely ever true.

My personal favorite
Good friend does not equal good potential soror.
(Just because we are homies, doesn't mean you will make a good soror.)

*This is a SERIOUS Matter
*That we must always strive to not only be better, but to expect better and do better of ourselves. We owe this to our founders. There is NO other way!
*Being a Greek doesn't make one automatically superior to others and it doesn't grant those license to cut up, act a fool, coon and shake, etc, etc.
*You are a man/a woman of God/Allah/G-d/Whomever FIRST AND FOREMOST before your affiliation. Don't make Greek Life into a new religion or the end-all, be-all.
*If you weren't *it* before you pledged, you won't-all of a sudden-become *it* as soon as you cross!
*Your organization doesn't make YOU-YOU should make the organization.
*My love can and will grow more and more each day as I learn and grow more and more in Alpha Kappa Alpha!
*And just in case it wasn't made clear before: THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER!

1. The greatest interest of Alpha, lies outside of itself.
2. You can't shine a turd, it only smears (relative to making guys who aren't about business).
3. You are a man before an Alpha.
4. Being made doesn't always make you right.
5. Your "A" is no bigger that anyone else, nor your Phi.
6. We are definately in the business for the better making of men.
Still thinking...

*Being Greek opens many doors, in the professional and social aspects of life.
*Being Greek closes a few doors, in the professional and social aspects of life.
*NUPES and Ques have a weird friend/arch rival relationship. There is still that mutual respect we both share.
*Alot of Greek stereotypes & relationships are regional.
*Twirlin kanes is like crack- as soon as you are ready to put it down, you pick it up again cause a brother shows you someting new.
*Different provinces shimmy different.
*NUPES really are the frat they love to hate
*On every yard, in every chapter, of every organization, there is one person that makes greek unity impossible.
More to come..............

~ Just because you are made, that is only the beginning.
~ Learning is a life long process.
~ You should work to make your organization what it is supposed to be...anybody can model the letters!

I will definitely have to say "WORD" to that!
I would also like to add that you can pick your friends but you will not always have the opportunity to pick your Sorors.
