Today's Topic: Sorority Snobs
Okay. Let me preface this by saying I have nothing against sororities! I think they're great! Great for our culture, great for our communities and great for sisterhood. I'm actually a member of a Business and Professional Sorority (let me be real...I'm NOT financial). I would even like to join a D9 (Divine Nine) sorority at some point.
BUT...here's the thing...
There are some ladies that make it appear as though being in their sorority somehow makes them a demigod. Yes, your organization is great. Yes, you all do great things BUT...that's not all there is to you! Don't you enjoy television, movies, books, clothes, cooking, sight seeing, traveling, church...SOMETHING! I don't want to have a conversation with you if your sorority is going to end up in 98% of our conversations!
What bothers me the most is the attitude that some ladies have. Don't give me the librarian looking down her nose through her glasses stare because I'm not in your org! This is not sophomore year and we are not on the yard waiting on a probate show to start!
Where is all this coming from? Well, today, I was in the elevator with a lady that asked me if I was a Delta. I politely said no. She told me that I looked like one of her sorors from yester-year (I'm paraphrasing). And again, I politely smiled. She said oh, I know! You're a Zeta huh? I knew I recognized you from the this or that thing (again I'm paraphrasing). I sucked my teeth and replied "wrong again". She said well, I KNOW you're not an AKA! You're not that type and SGRhos don't really exist! Bitch really? Did you just effectively stereotype me while dissing another organization all before breakfast? Get your damn crimson and cream life! Luckily, my floor came up and I exited without a word.
She was a classic example of doing too much on the sorority tip! This lady was doing the MOST!
All I'm saying is be in your sorority but, don't take it so seriously! The outside world isn't as impressed with it as you are. Love your org without beating folks over the head with it!
Damn!
