I saw an event coming up in Dallas called the Dallas Alumni Greekshow, and I remember how it felt when I just crossed AKA back in Spring 99, from The BreathTaking Beta Tau Chapter at LeMoyne Owen College. I remember as soon as I crossed I was deemed "STEPMASTER", and boy where we a forced to be reckoned with under my leadership (<------me tooting my on horn). Then I realized it's 2011, and I am officially considered an "OLD Head", but real talk I still got it. If I wanted to I know I can still out step the best of these young whippersnappers (<--proof that I am old).
I digress, talks amongnst yourselves, here I will give you a topic, The Dallas Alumni Greekshow will be an event to see for the true old heads, which Sorority or Fraternity will take it all? DISCUSS!
So back to the originally topic, After thinking about my glory days, I started to think about things NEOs did that its hard for us old heads to come to grips with, like:
Stuff Neos Do:
1. Wear too much paraphenalia
2. Constantly refers "my line sisters" or "The Bros"
3. Turn every song the DJ plays into a strut off
4. Don't have friends outside of the Organization
5. Take Fraternity and Sorority differences a little too serious on the yard!
6. Lives by the stereotype of the Organization.
7. Recite "Invictus" too damn much, to prove you PLEDGE (when anyone can learn that really)
8.Quick to wanna pledge someone else.
9. Think your shit don't stank!
10. Think the "Old Heads" should speak to you since you're new (that will be the other way around).
That's a short list.....but what else would you like to add "OLD HEADS"......at any rate the Old Heads will be getting together March 17th in Dallas, Texas for the Dallas Alumni Greekshow, 7p,-10pm

I think you pretty much covered everything........I must say my favorite is #4. To add to #9 when they have a "Rush" they act as if the students are running for the "Presidency"..........and they forget that back in the early 1900's when the majority of sororities and fraternities were established it was about uplifting your brother or sister developing a stronger bond, to share resources and build up the black communities.
1. Think their letters replace their resume
2. Just plain talk tooo much!!!
3. Forsake all others when it comes to "sorors" or "bruhs".......
It took a while but I can add to the list! LOL...
Spell everything with either a K or Ph...ummm every c word does not need to be spelled with a K. Some doesn't make sense.
Strutting/Strolling to pieces everywhere....when I say everywhere I mean like strolling in Applebees (something seen last night).
Constantly mentioning your org everyday all day like people somehow forgot.
But that is the neo life and it is much expected. LOL
Cam we change #1 to "Wear" instead of "Where". We do want them to know we graduated. Thanks.
And can you change "cam" to "can", because the same reason you stated....
