Lets get back to this statement. Homely? WTH???  Yes, homely. I could have used a more negative adjective but I was trying to be respectful. Well homely is not a positive way to describe the way you think Zeta's look. I do not know how you think this was a respectful comment, when it was not meant to be a term of endearment. |

Their are unattractive, homely, etc looking people in every org, however their is no one "certain" look that directly points to a person of any org.

Nah, southie....Unfortunatlet I disagree and so do MOST greeks who are on the Positive side of stereotypes.
AKA= Usually highly Attractive, Prissy, stuck up
Deltas= Usually Attractive, Strong Minded, can be just as prissy
Zetas= Usually Unattractive, big-boned, Intelligent, nice to be around
Sghros= Average looking, intelligent, shy, easy to talk to
Alphas= Arrogant, Intelligent,Gay or Straight
Kappas= Smooth, Attractive, Gay or Straight
Omegas= Swole, Loud, Friendly,
Sigmas= I guess they are the sum of all of the other frats
Iotas= Cool from the 2 that I've met

However, thanks for the descriptions for each org. Now, I will see how this adds up to being true, just by looking at members of Greek orgs and see how they fall into each category at the next NPHC function. |

You should do that South...We can look at pictures on G9 for a good example. If you look at each org, a great percentage of people that represent their org look like the stereotypes...
The AKA's are Fine as he11
The deltas are Too
There are only 5 or 6 Rho's, and they are alright
There are only 2 good looking Zetas, the rest need help
Etc....

Nupey,
I can already tell you, this does not add up as valid. The NPHC of Chicago does not fall into these categories.

Nupey, I can already tell you, this does not add up as valid. The NPHC of Chicago does not fall into these categories. Southie, that's why this thread is called REGIONAL DIFFERENCES. Nupe and I are speaking of what we see here in the south. You are in the midwest. And of course, I'm not saying that EVERY Zeta in the south is homely...however, here in the South they are usually the big, country chicks. |

O.k I usually don't describe members of orgs in any particular negative manner. As you said, this based regional differences, and the range in the midwest, and the range of apperances in terms of orgs are very vast. ( I will combine the negative with the positive in the last statement)

Southie, why are you getting offended? We're not in the midwest, so how are we supposed to know how midwestern Zetas look? What we see is what we percieve the majority of them to be. Why is it that over 80% of Zetas here (In the south) are unattractive? Why is it that over 80% of AKA's (in the south) are highly attractive? Its because the system of stereotypes dictates that....
You can't truly believe that ALL of those unattractive Zetas wanted to be Zetas from the start did you? They probably ASSumed that they had NO CHANCE of being an AKA because they KNOW how they look. So they went Zeta based on how they see OTHER homely girls going Zeta. This is all based on SOUTHERN (REGIONAL) Differences in Greekdom.

I did not say that I was offended. If so, I would have clearly stated as such.
I was really trying to be with you on the first pargraph of your opinion, however your last paragraph is way too far. Now, if this is your opinion of Regional Differences in thinking, such as the last paragraph, this provides me with a very different opinion of how the South thinks of Greek Life(I won't get into Zeta).
Not once, do you ever hear me state a particualar stereotype of any group in terms of apperance. Again, that speaks to the Regional Difference of opinions of various Greek organizations.
Thanks for the Southern hospitality.
Zphi!

Wow @ this thread.
Let me state, for the record, that one or two people's perception of Greekdom in the South doesn't hold true for others who are greek and in the south.
Just how some people percieve Zeta in the south, doesn't mean everyone percieve greek life through those same eyes.
Based off some things that were said here, I know I don't.

So juicy would you then say that the percentage of ATTRACTIVE Zetas out of the total Zeta population in the south is equal or fairly close to the percentage of ATTRACTIVE AKA's out of the total AKA population in the south? |

I have heard that Greeks in the North are not nice. I agree with that statement. I don't know if its a northern thing in general, that people in the North are more uptight, but that is something that I have noticed, when I travel to the South.

If you are not gorgeous, then you do not get the nod of approval? |

No I didnt say that South.
Juicy stated that SHE does not agree with what I've said about the General Consensus of Zetas in the South. It has NOTHING to do with whether AKA's or shallow or not. I just wanted to know if the Percentage of Attractive Zetas is equal to that of AKA's in the SOUTH. Dont try to add things to my comments sweetheart.
Example, Out of 100 Zetas, how many would you say are attractive?
Out of 100 AKA's how many would you say are attractive

Remember, the unattractive, homely Zeta's that did not want to be Zeta's, but they followed the homely crew? So my question was valid. I understood Juicy's statement, and I understood your "short-sighted" statement as well. So do not fall out of with me, because I am asking a question. |

Nah....I'm saying to you...DOWN HERE, some of the Zetas that ARE Zetas probably WANTED to be AKA'S or Deltas but KNEW they weren't pretty ENOUGH to even ATTEMPT it...I'm not saying AKA's are shallow, I'm saying that because the Majority of AKA's are attractive may give these ladies the impression that they wont FIT the stereotype, so they choose ZETA, the stereotype that they DO FIT... |

And I am saying to you, do you see how statement takes us back 100 years? Zeta's wanting to be AKA's or Delta's but did not look pretty, attractive (and add whatever else) so they chose an org that suits their unattractive apperance? However, this is your opinion of the Southern Regional Differences. In your opinion, stereotypes are very prevalent in the South. Again, based on what you have observed to being true. So, when I asked the question about being shallow, again a valid question.

But that doesnt mean the rest of them are homey. And I said a good percentage of zetas are usually unattractive. Ok, so you she found 4 more that happen to be fine, and took a picture? So what?! That doesnt prove anything I'm saying is false. I can find 20 AKA's that are beastly, but that doesnt mean a thing... |

Out of 100 AKA's how many would you say are attractive Nupe, I don't agree with your general consenus of what you are saying about greeks period. There are folks who take the stereotypes of our orgs. and just run with them, as you are doing. Alpha Kappa Alpha doesn't state anywhere that we won't take someone if they aren't physically attractive. That isn't one of our requirements. Pretty girls is just a stereotype. And for the record, being a pretty girl is an attitude. I have seen gorgeous and ugly members of every org. But, Nupe, since you are running off of stereotypes so hard here, you yourself said Kappas are attractive. By that statement alone, and based off what others have said about your pictures especially on the old OO, then you shouldn't be a Kappa, based of your statement and what others have said about your apperance. I'm just saying. |
