Everyone else was saying how the Omega was: 1) funny, 2) unique, 3) "doing his own thing", 4) holding down tradition, etc... they were pointing out how his actions were different from the others and how it made them feel. So why was my observation that he looked like a buffoon any different?[/quote]
No not a buffon but quote:
a hot garbage retarded mess up there....
Bruh, the interesting thing is, that other greeks already know that the Bruhz are different in terms of stepping and in "not playing well with others".Cam really should be more "judgemental" of a "conformist" Omega than one who epitomozed the organizational identity. It really would have been "funnier" if the Que did clap, hambone, and stomp cucarachas like the others. So in essence, the Omega was "in his lane" as he should have been and not coloring outside of the lines, as when other orgs hop, wear boots, or different color camoflauge fatigues.(that is not their stylo) Whether its with teeth, dentures or gums, its still "bitin'". Which is not only funny, but truly sad.
Parenthetically, as an Omega, I both expect and accept "judgement". Being iconoclastic in any family (D9) leaves one open for both slings and arrows as well as praise. The difference being, the Bruhz could care less either way.
In many ways, there was less "judging" when most orgs played to type, rather than this homogenized mish mash of D9 Greekdom, when dainty SG Rhos (when you could find one) are now "hard and bloody", calling out others for being paper. Sigmas are like Forrest Gumps box of chocolates depending on what yard you visit. Are they hard, athletes, bookworms, scrubs, lovable losers , do they step with canes, why are all their famous members honorary? Questions no one really asked 20 yrs ago . While admittedly, Omegas like myself are schizophrenic (straddling the line between being owt and outstanding), the Sigmas definitely have multiple personality disorder now.
I blame it all on School Daze, A Different World, and Intake. The best thing to come out of these cultural phenomena were much better looking Zetas.
Much like Damie, I could say so much more, but in the spirit of unity, I will defer.

Perro- I don't disagree with you. I'm not a fan of "Unity Steps" at all because for some reason, they end up looking crazy. Also, i'm an equal opportunity judge and any Alpha will tell you that I am hard on the behavior of my brothers.
In any case, I support individuality and every organization's right to "do them".
It was what it was....

Interesting, I've never been asked about our Famous Members being Honorary.. An influx of "Famous" Honorary Members didn't really hit us until now. Most of our Politicians/Athletes/Businessmen came in through regular chapters. As far as the diversity, I think that's what Sigma is all about. Most of the stereotypes mentioned probably do exist in one form or another because of our diversity. We've promoted that since the beginning. Not a bad thing, but not always a good thing. That's something we market, but that's also something we get judged for. Just what makes Sigma, Sigma.

lol Not judging. Just pitying a bit. Then I ask.. what do I know? I gotta get off my broken down high horse and realize everyone has practices that they feel work for them socially. There's the ought to be and then there's the way it really is. Still unfortunate though... Yeah I've suspected this goes on. How unfortunate... i had my reasons. don't judge me. lol |

There are so many things that we can "raise" our eyebrow in regards to other orgs, but we do have to be careful about making blanked statements as if we buying into stereotype. Especially those that say: "Oh you look like you should pledge this"...those type of statements are so stupid and short-minded. (Omegas look like this, Zetas look like this, etc)

Actually, I based my judgements more on the lack of individuality of the guys in the org. I didn't date guys in ABC because apparently, they all tried to live up to the chapter's stigma of being male whores. Even the ones who were good guys going in. I didn't date guys in EFG because they were too busy dating each other. did i just say that? i didn't date TUV because, well, there were only 2 or 3 when I was there and you never really saw them around. And I didn't date XYZ because I had enough going on without the added drama.

So no one is brave enough to come in here and suggest that BGLOs judge other GLOs and auxs? No one?
Fine I'll do it.
BGLOs judge other orgs when we feel like they're trying to be like us. Anyone care to deny this? I'm super late on this thread but I was calling BS early on reading some of these posts, LOL. |

I see what you are saying. You're not saying...I can only date an XYZ because of what they project in general or I could never date a LLJ because people think they are poor...etc. You are saying it was based on individual experiences. I can dig it. Actually, I based my judgements more on the lack of individuality of the guys in the org. I didn't date guys in ABC because apparently, they all tried to live up to the chapter's stigma of being male whores. Even the ones who were good guys going in.

Provoking you? lol Your age saved you lets just say that.. moving on I'll have a conversation or three about the different orgs but the differences is what makes us who we are and I wouldn't want them changed. Like I may joke about the Alpha's doing cheer routines from Bring it On but at the end of the day the differences are still championed. I would say I'm harder on the bruh (well use to be) differences than outside. I more relaxed now. Underlined, iDIED! |

On the dating tip...YES! In my mind it's not judgement...it's logic. lol
You don't date a Que who is less than 5...sometimes 10yrs in. It's just not worth the time. Sex the hell out of him...but make him hubby? Save your breath!
MOF, ALL Neo's are just not right...even fresh Masons...geebus!!!! Spare me!

BGLOs judge other orgs when we feel like they're trying to be like us. Anyone care to deny this? I personally agree with you. I know that there is one particular org that really doesn't get any respect from me as a whole...simply because most of the ones I have come across are lame. And when I meet a member of that org who is about something, I wonder why they made that mistake...and it's usually because they wanted to be a part of one of the other orgs but things didn't pan out. Just sayin. |

Aux orgs in many instances, get the raised eyebrow from many sororities, when they feel they have crossed the line. You commonly hear the argument: "stay in your lane".  |

So instead they call it opinion or bias. WOMP WOMP...you're judging. It's ok, we're human. We have emotions and experiences that make us different so we view things differently. |

My experiences have caused me to view that organization as less than desirable. IIWII. |
