A CASE OF THE PHONIES!!!!!

Greetings to my beautiful Blue and White Family and anyone who happens to stumble upon this article. My line sister and I can't understand for the life of us why after you cross, everyone wants to be your damn best friend. Don't read into that statement wrong because we truly love all of God's children, yet it is strange and quite irritable to encounter the masses of pseudo-greek love from people just because of three letters. For example, the night of our probate show, afterwards our friends congratulated us and gave us our crossing gifts. However, to our surprise, individuals who normally would not part their lips to say "bless you" if we sneezed suddenly had so much love for us and like magic, knew our names. Again, please don't mistaken us for a couple of cold-hearted women, but Zeta is not the Barney Show and "I Love You, You Love Me....We're best friends like friends should be," is not apart of our National Hymn.

We are generally nice to everyone and respect those who respect us (and sometimes we respect those who don't respect us which is a part of Finer Womanhood). Yet we do not agree with those of you who seem to want to befriend us because you either want our letters, or believe that getting close to a lady of Zeta is a networking opportunity. Just because we chose to become apart of the most excellent and illustrious sorority (can you tell that we're neophytes) does not mean that we are not human and just as deserving of interacting with REAL people, not PHONIES nor PSEUDO-BUDDIES. In closing, keep it real, be peaceful, and take heed that butt-kissing has not, is not, nor will it ever be very becoming.

Love Ya and Have A Very Blue Day!!!!!!!
