If a local chapter of your Frat is throwing a party, and you see various chapters walking up to the door, getting dapped up and gaining entry into the party for free – But when you try to get in the party, the Bros make you pay admission AND won’t even stamp your hand so you can get back in if you have to run out to your car for something – Chances are, you weren’t made right. Uh, Ice...I beg to differ... If that kind of mess is taking place, then it's more likely the chance that those brothers at the door WEREN'T MADE RIGHT!!  That was my thought...especially here in Alabama. If I see frat charging other frat to get into a party, I'd piss my pants. If they are frat, they get in free, regardless of how you might feel about the way they came in. |

Another one y'all (I knew I shouldn't have come here! LOL!) When you volunteer to recite poetry at the Founders' Day Program, you CLAIM you're a "real" brother having been made RIGHT, and you stumble over every other word in the poem "If" (and you are reading it directly from a sheet of paper,) AND...if you then read YET ANOTHER poem (House of Alpha,) and you are the same person who claims to be a "real" brother, and you stumble over it as if you just finished your first class in the Sylvan Reading Learning program.... YOUR ASS REALLY AIN'T MADE RIGHT, AND YOU ARE BORDERING ON ILLITERACY!! LOL...Just wrong Rob. Dude might have a legitimate speech impetement or something..haha |

Dude might have practiced long and hard with a speech therapist, and brought his Toastmasters mentors for support....JUST to even be able to get his recital to that point. And you sitting in the crowd clowning the brother. Shameful...LOL Im playing with you man..hahaha |

I always encourage our young brothers to take part in our public programs, either serving as moderator or to fill various spots on the program. Since then, I've started to do like my mom used to with my siblings and I and those Christmas and Easter speeches...READ IT, learn it, and recite it in her presence several hundred times before we got up in front of the saints in the sanctuary. :-) LOL @ Priss and DST!!!  |

Amen, and amen! Got another one, at your own probate, visiting sorors tell you what chapter they are from, and you ask where is that, mind you this chapter is at a school that is 30 min. away. SMH. Or how about.. Moreso for undergrad - If there are NO other visiting chapters present at your probate (even from 30 minutes away) because no one else was even told your chapter was having a line this semester or was invited to see you – there’s a pretty good chance your line was sheltered….. and you weren’t made right. LOL ::DEAD:: I've seen this happen! It was with the Alphas were I went to grad. school, and no other Alphas were there (mind you, there are three chapters 30 min. away, there are 2 another 1 1/2 away, then there is two more like 2 1/2 hrs away). And there are a lot of old head chapter members still within in a 60 mile radius. And normally, everyone one goes to everyones probate. After seeing that, I went to one of the Alphas and was like, you don't have to confirm or deny, but based on the lack of Alphas, this line was, um "different", lol! |

I still say that Logi's example of that gal painting her nails while the NATIONAL PRESIDENT spoke takes the cake, the pie, the souffle', the pastry...the whole bakery!!
I can see her now! She was probably whackin' on a big wad of gum as well, with her legs crossed and her "hainds" in her lap.
Like Celie told Harpo....BEAT HER!!! LOL!!

Had a similar moment at conference. A sorhor was talking about our three founders. I'm looking around like was I taught wrong? I thought we had seven. Did we have three main founders that I didn't know about ? I was really questioning myself hard. And the sorhor kept saying three. To all that care Sgrho has seven founders. |

It's messed up because while the existing older Bros already know the chapter may not be in good or popular standing with the other surrounding chapters - the new boys gonna think it's all good when they go out and about talking about "What's up Frat!?" Now some Bros may always be receptive to new guys no matter what. However, you have those other Bros who are going to look at you funny style as you are claiming to be a Neo but don't already know a single other Brother outside of your local chapter. OR you may get looked at as "sus" of GP based on the fact your chapter doesn’t let their boys out to play, be seen, or get any sort of thumbs up from any chapter in your neighboring city, state or region. Right or Wrong, agree or disagree, this is the reality of Greek Life. It gets cold out there for these youngin’s sometimes..lol |

I generally stay out of the "Made/Not Made" debates, but this is something that hurt my feelings shortly after I crossed: I'm at this guy I'm dating's church for Bible study. I see a soror--I saw her keychain. There are many people around us. We are exiting the sanctuary, as Bible study is over. ME: HI, SOROR! (My face is like this: ---------------> ) HER: Oh. :-/Hey. (She has a stank look on her face). She doesn't say much else. The guy I was dating--who was EXTRAORDINARILY negative and critical (which is why we didn't work out) and was of the mindset that BGLOs are "evil" so kindly pointed out afterwards, "Just because somebody is in your sorority doesn't mean they like you". Gee...thanks for your insight. |

Gee...thanks for your insight. So I guess i'd be wrong for agreeing with your then BF's perspective, huh ? I don't wear para for just this reason. I wouldn't be stank, I'd be cordial, but all that hugging and exchanging info? Nope, you wouldn't get that from me either. |

No, you wouldn't be wrong, but with him he was happy to see ANY negative stuff happen to me so he could point it out (you just had to know him--when I petted somebody's dog one time, he said, "Those people didn't like you--and neither did their dog". But I digress).
Yeah, I can understand not wanting to hug and exchange info, but a quick smile and a "Hi, soror" would have sufficed. Especially at Bible study.
