A Serious Matter - Part 10 - Stereotypes and BGLO's
- 13 years ago
As I have pointed out before, AKAs are known through the Greek world as "Pretty Girls" and they have a popular saying "Only Pretty Girls Wear 20 Pearls." You will see women who are very confident, "pretty" playing up the stereotypes of AKAs who are known to be very attractive, feminine, conceited, saditty, socialites who have good manners, and are "cultured and worldly." The paper bag test, as well as some colorism issues are also briefly discussed.
Many will point to these stereotypical manifestations from individuals and say they are only playing a part, and that the conceited stereotypes are not who they actually are... I beg to differ, and they are using their respective organizations to express themselves all the while "hiding behind the shield" to make excuses for their behaviors. I call it the "Sasha Fierce Syndrome" (Beyoncé) where people hide behind this "image" they have created for themselves, to protect themselves from scrutiny, and this happens is ALL GREEK ORGS.
