    what's up y'all welcome back to my
  • 00:00:01
    channel today's video is going to be
  • 00:00:03
    about the Greek alphabet and no I don't
  • 00:00:05
    mean like alphabet again but no no not
  • 00:00:07
    these who are left because there are
  • 00:00:09
    plenty of videos you can look forward to
  • 00:00:11
    have information regarding that and
  • 00:00:12
    there's also this thing called Google
  • 00:00:15
    you can just goo boo search the alphabet
  • 00:00:17
    is not that hard how everyone I'm gonna
  • 00:00:19
    talk about is common terms that you may
  • 00:00:22
    have heard people saying and you just
  • 00:00:25
    probably don't know what they need or
  • 00:00:26
    you googling you still can't quite get
  • 00:00:28
    the concept now some go over all those
  • 00:00:30
    turns I'm gonna try to do as many as
  • 00:00:32
    possible however I want you to know that
  • 00:00:33
    it was hard to try to find turns for
  • 00:00:36
    certain letters because certain things
  • 00:00:37
    is just like certain letters don't get
  • 00:00:39
    any play so I'm gonna do two alphabet as
  • 00:00:42
    best I can and we'll go from there
  • 00:00:45
    alright so the very first words I'm
  • 00:00:46
    gonna start off with it's alpha and of
  • 00:00:48
    course I'm starting with alpha but these
  • 00:00:49
    all things start with alpha alpha is the
  • 00:00:51
    first letter of the alphabet and then
  • 00:00:53
    also you know alpha alpha and then alpha
  • 00:00:56
    kappa alpha of course so why would I not
  • 00:00:58
    start with the very first letter of the
  • 00:01:01
    alphabet here you so the actual first
  • 00:01:03
    word that you probably have heard that
  • 00:01:05
    you're not familiar with the actual
  • 00:01:06
    meaning of it is active so active means
  • 00:01:09
    that it's a member of the organization
  • 00:01:12
    and they are actually participating in
  • 00:01:14
    things that are going on they are in a
  • 00:01:17
    graduate chapter or they're in an
  • 00:01:19
    undergraduate chapter they actually have
  • 00:01:21
    financial cards so they are active
  • 00:01:23
    members and they are actively
  • 00:01:24
    participating in our organization so the
  • 00:01:25
    next word is gonna be ace so the ACE is
  • 00:01:27
    typically either the shortest person or
  • 00:01:30
    they're the person a the prophytes felt
  • 00:01:33
    was the song is to lead the group um
  • 00:01:36
    they are basically they kind of set the
  • 00:01:40
    pace because they are at the front of
  • 00:01:41
    the line and they hold an elf in the
  • 00:01:44
    front so the ACE is that person eights
  • 00:01:46
    you know at the front there the first
  • 00:01:47
    person is they said line B is gonna be
  • 00:01:50
    for brother or brought most of the time
  • 00:01:53
    that's what you're gonna hear the frets
  • 00:01:54
    refer to themselves as you know do say
  • 00:01:56
    that's my bro my parole my brother or
  • 00:01:58
    whatever on your line brother so that's
  • 00:02:01
    just it doesn't necessarily have to be
  • 00:02:03
    somebody across which you at the same
  • 00:02:04
    time however it is somebody
  • 00:02:06
    that's in your organization they you
  • 00:02:10
    know you're cool with them that you'll
  • 00:02:11
    grow a minute yesterday this is very
  • 00:02:14
    simple bro brother they in the same
  • 00:02:17
    organization and cross together whatever
  • 00:02:19
    that leads me to my next word see is for
  • 00:02:21
    cross when we say cross that means
  • 00:02:24
    that's when you actually became a member
  • 00:02:26
    of your organization so I cross in
  • 00:02:28
    spring 2013
  • 00:02:30
    so I crossed over into Griffin in the
  • 00:02:35
    spring of 2013 in April to be specific
  • 00:02:38
    so everyone has their crossing seasons
  • 00:02:41
    typically you'll have followers spring
  • 00:02:44
    lines sometimes there are some alums but
  • 00:02:46
    it's kind of rare but in most instances
  • 00:02:48
    is the following spring
  • 00:02:49
    so if you hear cross that just means
  • 00:02:52
    when the person was initiated into their
  • 00:02:54
    organization you can also stand for
  • 00:02:55
    chapter the chapter is where the person
  • 00:03:00
    or where the organization exists so each
  • 00:03:03
    chapter will have a different name
  • 00:03:04
    typically in undergraduate chapters they
  • 00:03:06
    are named based off of like they'll have
  • 00:03:09
    letters so it'll be like alpha beta or a
  • 00:03:13
    beta gamma so it'll be typically two
  • 00:03:17
    letters from what I've seen but some of
  • 00:03:19
    the graduate chapters will have either
  • 00:03:21
    Greek alphabet letters as well or
  • 00:03:25
    they'll be like the Houston area alumni
  • 00:03:28
    or chapter or something like that so the
  • 00:03:31
    chapter just basically where a certain
  • 00:03:34
    group of people operate in the name of
  • 00:03:37
    that organization club is basically
  • 00:03:39
    somebody that cross either it can be in
  • 00:03:42
    your organization or it doesn't have to
  • 00:03:44
    meet it over their organization it can
  • 00:03:45
    be in a different work but club is just
  • 00:03:48
    somebody that has the same number as you
  • 00:03:50
    so for example I'm a member of the quad
  • 00:03:51
    club because I am the fourth person in
  • 00:03:53
    my life so anybody that support person
  • 00:03:55
    on their line they will be a part of my
  • 00:03:58
    club so you also have like the ACE Club
  • 00:04:00
    you have the deuce Club you have the
  • 00:04:01
    trade club you know you have the la-5
  • 00:04:03
    Club so everybody had like their own
  • 00:04:05
    club or whatever so any number has a
  • 00:04:07
    club in any position has a club too so
  • 00:04:09
    there are a lot of different clubs
  • 00:04:12
    and yes so uh that's what that means
  • 00:04:15
    club is just you have that same number
  • 00:04:17
    or position in your line in common with
  • 00:04:19
    another person and sometimes people do
  • 00:04:22
    have two clubs so let's say the eight if
  • 00:04:26
    they were a solo line so they'll be solo
  • 00:04:27
    Club they'll be ace Club they'll be tell
  • 00:04:29
    Club they could be rock club like it can
  • 00:04:31
    be a lot of different things the tail
  • 00:04:32
    club can be tattoo it could be a deuce
  • 00:04:34
    club they can be a total Club there's
  • 00:04:36
    gonna be a rock club like I mean alright
  • 00:04:39
    so Dee is gonna be four doses I'm not
  • 00:04:41
    gonna be Petty and leave any Greek
  • 00:04:42
    letter or of what they're called
  • 00:04:45
    so typically be sure to delta sigma
  • 00:04:47
    theta down to just doses so if we're
  • 00:04:49
    referring to deltas they'll either be
  • 00:04:51
    deltas and raids or something like that
  • 00:04:53
    way you know typically we say doses
  • 00:04:55
    he is also gonna be four dues which is
  • 00:04:57
    something that I don't like pain but I
  • 00:04:59
    still have to do so so if you want to be
  • 00:05:01
    a financial active member you have to
  • 00:05:03
    pay dues in the dues are voted upon by
  • 00:05:05
    your chapter and they incorporate you
  • 00:05:08
    know like if you need to pay for meeting
  • 00:05:09
    space if your chapter wants to have food
  • 00:05:11
    at the mean sometimes they'll do that
  • 00:05:13
    though they have budgets like we have to
  • 00:05:16
    pay back to like a foundation so there
  • 00:05:18
    are different things within your chapter
  • 00:05:20
    budget that will make up your dues so in
  • 00:05:23
    order to be financed earning up to pay
  • 00:05:25
    dues every year if you don't pay the
  • 00:05:27
    dues and you're not a financial member
  • 00:05:29
    and if you don't pay the dues you're not
  • 00:05:31
    finished members and you can't be acting
  • 00:05:32
    so yeah all that ties back together so D
  • 00:05:35
    also stands for dropping in line so a
  • 00:05:38
    lot of people say they or you may hear
  • 00:05:41
    the terms center such drop line or I was
  • 00:05:45
    gonna do this and that but I dropped so
  • 00:05:47
    basically what that means is the person
  • 00:05:50
    got to whatever point on their process
  • 00:05:54
    they got to this point in the nature's
  • 00:05:58
    decided for whatever reason either this
  • 00:06:00
    isn't for me or the line got drops or
  • 00:06:03
    something happy and they just weren't
  • 00:06:04
    able to complete the process so that's
  • 00:06:06
    basically with drop liming that you
  • 00:06:08
    learn interest
  • 00:06:09
    you're still technically an interest if
  • 00:06:11
    you didn't cross or whatever unless you
  • 00:06:14
    don't have interest anymore
  • 00:06:16
    but something happening to where they
  • 00:06:19
    couldn't complete their
  • 00:06:20
    so the line was dropped or they dropped
  • 00:06:22
    mine or something of that sort and
  • 00:06:24
    lastly these gonna be for divine 9 so
  • 00:06:26
    the National pan-hellenic Council which
  • 00:06:29
    houses all of the different black Greek
  • 00:06:31
    letter organizations our house is called
  • 00:06:35
    the night house we are under the
  • 00:06:38
    umbrella of the National pan-hellenic
  • 00:06:39
    Council also referred to as the divine 9
  • 00:06:42
    so that's what that means it's all not
  • 00:06:44
    of the different organizations put
  • 00:06:45
    together in this one council that kind
  • 00:06:48
    of oversees everything on the back end
  • 00:06:51
    that makes it so if is gonna stand for
  • 00:06:53
    in this Conda I had to reach for this
  • 00:06:55
    one um so II is gonna stand for expelled
  • 00:06:58
    which is what some members gate when
  • 00:07:01
    they do certain things so let's say they
  • 00:07:03
    get in trouble for hazing they get in
  • 00:07:05
    trouble for not having the best grades
  • 00:07:08
    academically you can get expelled or if
  • 00:07:10
    they just do something completely off
  • 00:07:12
    the wall you get expelled so being
  • 00:07:15
    expelled it basically means that all of
  • 00:07:16
    your privileges to this organization are
  • 00:07:18
    gone you can never will never be a
  • 00:07:22
    member of that organization ever again
  • 00:07:23
    he also stands for expansion so if
  • 00:07:26
    someone is interested in bringing a
  • 00:07:28
    chapter of this organization or to the
  • 00:07:30
    campus or into a region that does not
  • 00:07:32
    have that organization it will be
  • 00:07:34
    considered an expansion because we are
  • 00:07:36
    technically you spend in the
  • 00:07:37
    organization so it'll be an expansion I
  • 00:07:43
    hope more please bear with me off
  • 00:07:47
    so 4f we're back at the money thing
  • 00:07:49
    financial financial means that you are a
  • 00:07:51
    member again who has paid your dues so
  • 00:07:54
    if you paid your dues you can go around
  • 00:07:55
    saying that your financial and guess
  • 00:07:57
    what you're active so biggest financial
  • 00:08:02
    members are able to be in the chapter
  • 00:08:05
    they were able to vote they're able to
  • 00:08:06
    you know pretty much do anything enjoy
  • 00:08:08
    every perk that comes along with being a
  • 00:08:10
    member of your respective organization
  • 00:08:11
    because you are financial you have paid
  • 00:08:13
    your dues simple as that
  • 00:08:15
    and also stands for fret which can be
  • 00:08:19
    shorted fraternity for example if I want
  • 00:08:21
    to see an alpha out I can say you know
  • 00:08:23
    what's up fret or what's up fam you know
  • 00:08:26
    whatever
  • 00:08:27
    grantee will spelling pH are 80s at frac
  • 00:08:30
    but
  • 00:08:31
    meeting it's all the same right it's
  • 00:08:33
    kind of like another turn for bro or
  • 00:08:36
    brother so the last s word is gonna be
  • 00:08:38
    less and word Wow
  • 00:08:40
    um so the less and word I guess I'll say
  • 00:08:43
    negated it's gonna be Founders Day so
  • 00:08:45
    Father's Day was the day that the
  • 00:08:46
    organization was created so if for
  • 00:08:47
    example my father's day is January 15
  • 00:08:49
    1908 every organization has their own
  • 00:08:52
    Founders Day and we do celebrate our
  • 00:08:55
    birthdays on those respective days
  • 00:08:58
    typically ISM you know sometimes we
  • 00:09:00
    actually out like the whole week
  • 00:09:01
    sometime do the whole month I mean it
  • 00:09:03
    varies Founders Day is one of the best
  • 00:09:05
    days of the year for each record I mean
  • 00:09:11
    we all have fun that's it they mean
  • 00:09:12
    really well off cause it's like you know
  • 00:09:14
    my founders they would do this nice
  • 00:09:16
    thing if they were here so yeah this
  • 00:09:18
    founders easily so G is for Greek and
  • 00:09:20
    Greek can be any organization is not
  • 00:09:23
    limited to NPHC it can be MPC it can be
  • 00:09:27
    in PC it's not just reserved to us it's
  • 00:09:33
    a Greek organization so that's pretty
  • 00:09:35
    much you know what if you want to go for
  • 00:09:37
    them in detail do your Google's it'll
  • 00:09:40
    get you Mary H is for hand sign so as
  • 00:09:43
    you know aks has the pinky hand sign so
  • 00:09:47
    we typically do this we also have the IV
  • 00:09:50
    which is like so or they do it out this
  • 00:09:53
    way as well you know we all have our own
  • 00:09:55
    hand sign that we do so we're taking
  • 00:09:57
    pictures or something of that sort we do
  • 00:10:00
    that we'll put our hands on there
  • 00:10:01
    strolls and things like that so we all
  • 00:10:02
    have our respective hand signs and it's
  • 00:10:04
    just a way of showing that you're in
  • 00:10:05
    this organization yeah and a lot of
  • 00:10:08
    cases they're not official but ours all
  • 00:10:10
    right now so either before I go in and
  • 00:10:13
    they were the last to be added to the
  • 00:10:15
    NPHC
  • 00:10:15
    so yeah eyes also for interest so an
  • 00:10:19
    interest is somebody that's interested
  • 00:10:21
    in the organization so they are wanting
  • 00:10:25
    to become a member but kind of before
  • 00:10:27
    you actually become a member you have to
  • 00:10:29
    show interest they are the ones that are
  • 00:10:31
    in the process of crossing we've all
  • 00:10:33
    been interested before if you're in a
  • 00:10:35
    Greek organization you have you had to
  • 00:10:37
    start somewhere like we all have been
  • 00:10:38
    there so don't be like shocked or
  • 00:10:40
    something of that sort like because I
  • 00:10:42
    believe all the interesting
  • 00:10:43
    or so I mean it's nothing you don't get
  • 00:10:46
    through your if it's meant for you
  • 00:10:48
    you'll get to your process so
  • 00:10:49
    informational and informational is
  • 00:10:51
    basically where you go when you're still
  • 00:10:54
    in your interest phase and you're
  • 00:10:55
    looking to find out more information
  • 00:10:56
    regarding the organization like if you
  • 00:10:58
    wanted to get them you know behind the
  • 00:11:00
    scenes stuff that you probably won't
  • 00:11:02
    necessarily find online like most of it
  • 00:11:05
    you may find online but they might drop
  • 00:11:06
    some gems in the informational so the
  • 00:11:08
    information was just essentially either
  • 00:11:10
    on your campus or somewhere where you
  • 00:11:12
    can find information you know from an
  • 00:11:13
    actual member who kind of it'll probably
  • 00:11:15
    like a seminar what do I actually just
  • 00:11:18
    talk and give some detailed background
  • 00:11:22
    about you know what the organization is
  • 00:11:23
    where it started
  • 00:11:24
    I like this we know that's information
  • 00:11:27
    is also for intake so intake is
  • 00:11:30
    basically what the membership process is
  • 00:11:33
    called
  • 00:11:33
    it's when we take in new members and
  • 00:11:39
    they'll go through their process and
  • 00:11:41
    become a member of the respective
  • 00:11:45
    organization that they're interested in
  • 00:11:46
    all right so Jay it's four jewels in
  • 00:11:48
    some instances organizations will call
  • 00:11:51
    their founder their jewels so that's
  • 00:11:53
    what that means
  • 00:11:53
    so Kay is gonna be four capless they are
  • 00:11:55
    also in the NPHC okay it's also gonna be
  • 00:11:58
    four caves which is sometimes what
  • 00:11:59
    people call Hey
  • 00:12:01
    so L it's for legacy a legacy is
  • 00:12:04
    basically somebody who follow in the
  • 00:12:06
    footsteps of a family member
  • 00:12:08
    typically like a mom or I think you can
  • 00:12:12
    do grandmother I think I can do stepmom
  • 00:12:14
    as well and babies I don't know my
  • 00:12:18
    sister Blake I'm not a legacy so I would
  • 00:12:21
    have to do more research but a legacy
  • 00:12:23
    somebody who's followed in the footsteps
  • 00:12:25
    of a close family member and became a
  • 00:12:27
    member of the same organization so I
  • 00:12:28
    think they do have a different process
  • 00:12:30
    as far as like the beginning stages
  • 00:12:32
    however I'm really not too sure I'll
  • 00:12:34
    have to do more information I mean I'll
  • 00:12:35
    have to do more research so if you are
  • 00:12:38
    interested in Legacy I would definitely
  • 00:12:40
    recommend checking out the website of
  • 00:12:43
    the organization that you're interested
  • 00:12:44
    in asking questions so you can know the
  • 00:12:47
    right way to go about doing that also
  • 00:12:50
    there is a such thing as rumors like
  • 00:12:52
    this yeah
  • 00:12:53
    we found it out so like a mother can
  • 00:12:58
    come in as a legacy to a daughter or
  • 00:13:01
    something of that sort so I mean it's
  • 00:13:02
    kind of cool how that recently at the we
  • 00:13:05
    do a legacy parade in our chapter
  • 00:13:07
    meetings occasional at once a year so
  • 00:13:10
    the legacy parade like this time I heard
  • 00:13:12
    that it was a lot of like reverse legacy
  • 00:13:14
    so I thought that was kind of cool so L
  • 00:13:16
    it's also going to be for line slash
  • 00:13:18
    line name so your line is the group of
  • 00:13:22
    people that you came in with so for
  • 00:13:24
    example I have 40 people on my line
  • 00:13:27
    total so I have 13 other one you know so
  • 00:13:30
    my line was 14 people long so basically
  • 00:13:32
    that's so that's is what the term why me
  • 00:13:34
    this everybody that came in with you at
  • 00:13:36
    a time and then your line name is
  • 00:13:38
    something that's given to you by your
  • 00:13:39
    profile um typically they name you they
  • 00:13:47
    can hang me something really
  • 00:13:48
    off-the-wall stuff like I don't know I
  • 00:13:50
    don't know how some people come with
  • 00:13:51
    their my name but I mean it is it is in
  • 00:13:53
    my name is just the name of your giving
  • 00:13:55
    once you're on line and yeah that's it
  • 00:13:59
    image the membership selection and
  • 00:14:01
    basically this is like another term for
  • 00:14:03
    like the intake thing that's you know
  • 00:14:06
    they they have to actually select
  • 00:14:08
    members that they want to you know vote
  • 00:14:11
    on and things like that so there's a
  • 00:14:13
    whole process that we go through and a
  • 00:14:15
    part of that process is the membership
  • 00:14:16
    selection so if you hear that membership
  • 00:14:20
    selection phase is just one we're
  • 00:14:22
    actually like voting on who they want to
  • 00:14:23
    pick and who they select so M is also
  • 00:14:29
    from moratorium which a lot of tough to
  • 00:14:31
    find ourselves on because they had so
  • 00:14:34
    much going on so moratorium basically
  • 00:14:36
    means everything is shut down you cannot
  • 00:14:39
    do anything no inside process and events
  • 00:14:41
    no nothing you just don't it's you
  • 00:14:45
    further notice so that's just basically
  • 00:14:47
    we need to checkers get in trouble or
  • 00:14:49
    the block is hot
  • 00:14:51
    who was going off are you a moratorium
  • 00:14:52
    so you've been kind of shut now and
  • 00:14:54
    administration can't get things back so
  • 00:14:56
    in its for number and that's basically
  • 00:14:58
    where you just fall in line so I'm
  • 00:14:59
    number four so I'm gonna fourth person
  • 00:15:01
    on my line and they even give you a
  • 00:15:03
    number based off of your height they can
  • 00:15:05
    give a seat based off of you know your
  • 00:15:07
    performance throughout the process I
  • 00:15:09
    mean it varies depends on where you're
  • 00:15:10
    crossing it it is also for neo which is
  • 00:15:13
    a shortened version of neophytes a neo
  • 00:15:16
    is the new member of an organization so
  • 00:15:19
    your neo time can either be like a year
  • 00:15:23
    of semester or it came last I mean up
  • 00:15:26
    until there is a new line up under you
  • 00:15:28
    and some people like in my head
  • 00:15:31
    afford like about I was eight three
  • 00:15:33
    years I was like you know for every neo
  • 00:15:35
    and then I started to feel like oh hey a
  • 00:15:37
    little bit um play a neo is really in my
  • 00:15:42
    opinion like a neo is kind of like a
  • 00:15:43
    state of mind it's like when you still
  • 00:15:44
    kind of fresh you're really excited to
  • 00:15:46
    be an organization and so you're trying
  • 00:15:48
    to just do a lot a lot or it's just that
  • 00:15:51
    you're so I mean there are multiple
  • 00:15:54
    levels of neo and knowing where you fall
  • 00:15:58
    at it is important no oh it's for omegas
  • 00:16:03
    course you all know that they are also a
  • 00:16:05
    member of the peace
  • 00:16:07
    so P is for paraphernalia paraphernalia
  • 00:16:10
    or parry as we often refer to it is
  • 00:16:13
    pretty much like the IV box you know
  • 00:16:16
    it's like anything that has like pink
  • 00:16:19
    and green with an aka or whatever the
  • 00:16:22
    organization's respective colors are and
  • 00:16:24
    the letters so parish is basically
  • 00:16:27
    anything that shows that you are a
  • 00:16:28
    member of that organization whether the
  • 00:16:31
    shirt socks keychain lunch kit like
  • 00:16:35
    whatever
  • 00:16:35
    anything can be P so P is for pro fight
  • 00:16:37
    and basically a pro fight is more of a
  • 00:16:39
    seasoned member in the organization it
  • 00:16:42
    doesn't necessarily have to be that
  • 00:16:43
    they've been there for years or anything
  • 00:16:45
    like that
  • 00:16:45
    however they are just older than the
  • 00:16:49
    newest line that's you know coming in
  • 00:16:54
    they're the ones that typically the
  • 00:16:56
    Neil's will look up to if you are
  • 00:16:58
    needing information about how to be a
  • 00:17:00
    good pro fight I got
  • 00:17:02
    go ahead and watch that video real quick
  • 00:17:03
    he is for a pearl so kinda like the term
  • 00:17:06
    jewel will often refer to our founders
  • 00:17:09
    as pearls
  • 00:17:10
    so if we say pearl that's kind of what
  • 00:17:12
    we we need sometimes in organizations
  • 00:17:16
    they'll give the term like pearl for
  • 00:17:19
    example but sometimes if it's and wanted
  • 00:17:20
    like 20 plus they'll give the person who
  • 00:17:22
    was a 20
  • 00:17:23
    the name pearl just to kind of just you
  • 00:17:25
    know pay respect our founders in that
  • 00:17:27
    way so sometimes the numbered person on
  • 00:17:30
    that line if they have pearls it'll be
  • 00:17:31
    that person to be pearls they had jewels
  • 00:17:33
    that person will be the jewel you know
  • 00:17:35
    so things like that so Q is gonna be for
  • 00:17:36
    Q's no Magus heads to terms on this one
  • 00:17:39
    because some people French the miscues
  • 00:17:41
    and some time going for it something as
  • 00:17:42
    omegas
  • 00:17:43
    but yeah q it's also for questions and
  • 00:17:46
    you can see I was trying to I was really
  • 00:17:48
    trying hard to find where is the finish
  • 00:17:50
    to this but Q is gonna be also for
  • 00:17:52
    questions questions is something that
  • 00:17:54
    you guys should ask before you make
  • 00:17:55
    these major commitments to these
  • 00:17:57
    organizations and maybe unhappy with
  • 00:17:58
    your decisions is it maybe you should
  • 00:18:00
    ask beforehand as opposed to after the
  • 00:18:04
    fact when it's too late so make sure
  • 00:18:06
    you're asking your questions getting a
  • 00:18:08
    payment are rituals and rituals are
  • 00:18:10
    things that each chapter of each
  • 00:18:13
    organization has and we kind of hold
  • 00:18:16
    them close to us because I mean there
  • 00:18:18
    are they're sacred and a lot of times
  • 00:18:20
    there's like this common misconception
  • 00:18:22
    that these rituals are like devil
  • 00:18:26
    worshipping my people people say the
  • 00:18:27
    craziest things like the thing is our
  • 00:18:32
    rituals are for us to know they're not
  • 00:18:34
    for the people to know so of course they
  • 00:18:35
    might not seem like this that's next
  • 00:18:37
    because you don't even know we're doing
  • 00:18:38
    our rituals but there are rituals for
  • 00:18:40
    each organization and I mean you're
  • 00:18:42
    businesses that's what that stands for
  • 00:18:43
    rituals are sacred you're not gonna know
  • 00:18:45
    what it is until you cross and you
  • 00:18:48
    shouldn't really search to find out what
  • 00:18:50
    this person what this orbit that word
  • 00:18:52
    about woman because there's none of your
  • 00:18:53
    business unless you're a member of that
  • 00:18:56
    work so ours also for rush rush is the
  • 00:19:00
    event day you had
  • 00:19:02
    in order to become a member of your
  • 00:19:04
    respective organization so whether it
  • 00:19:05
    just be you know the information session
  • 00:19:07
    that kind of starts off the rush process
  • 00:19:09
    or whatever but you know rush is just
  • 00:19:12
    that whole thing are it's also for
  • 00:19:15
    research which I encourage you all to do
  • 00:19:18
    y'all know that that's one of my biggest
  • 00:19:20
    things like I research everything I
  • 00:19:22
    research before I go on a job interview
  • 00:19:24
    I research times that I don't know like
  • 00:19:27
    I'm a big researcher like Google is my
  • 00:19:29
    best friend so definitely take advantage
  • 00:19:31
    of the fact that we are so computer
  • 00:19:35
    savvy like there you have access to so
  • 00:19:38
    much nowadays so take advantage of that
  • 00:19:41
    do your research find out all the
  • 00:19:43
    information that you need to know about
  • 00:19:44
    your respective organization before you
  • 00:19:46
    go to a the event images completely like
  • 00:19:50
    oh my god I'm not I don't even know why
  • 00:19:52
    I'm here I'm just I'm here so I'm gonna
  • 00:19:54
    get find like do your research so you
  • 00:19:56
    know you're walking it ssj4 Sigma and
  • 00:19:58
    they are part of the divine nine and
  • 00:19:59
    that also goes for SD room Sigma's are
  • 00:20:02
    paternity as you roll is Sigma Gamma Rho
  • 00:20:04
    which is authority as is lossless or and
  • 00:20:07
    that is what females typically refer to
  • 00:20:10
    themselves and you know when I come
  • 00:20:11
    sales they'll refer to another member of
  • 00:20:13
    the same organization as then as their
  • 00:20:15
    source so any other aka is gonna be my
  • 00:20:17
    source some people say it differently
  • 00:20:19
    but I mean I think a lot of persons
  • 00:20:23
    the term saying is kind of similar to
  • 00:20:25
    like determine number in the same today
  • 00:20:27
    sans is somebody that cross at the same
  • 00:20:30
    type of G so it don't have to be
  • 00:20:32
    necessarily like the same organization
  • 00:20:34
    it can be any org but they cross at the
  • 00:20:36
    same time as you so anybody that cross
  • 00:20:38
    like Springs 13 will be mice and sex
  • 00:20:40
    with and also since we're stepping and I
  • 00:20:42
    think that that is a term that a lot of
  • 00:20:44
    people think all Greeks do we don't also
  • 00:20:49
    what Susan was don't I actually my first
  • 00:20:54
    real step show was the one that I was in
  • 00:20:56
    last year so you don't have to be Greek
  • 00:20:58
    to sit that's a common misconception but
  • 00:21:00
    a lot
  • 00:21:01
    we do stuff so stepping aging of the
  • 00:21:03
    whole synchronized dance that we that
  • 00:21:10
    involves a lot of class being it's
  • 00:21:11
    nothing you know that it's also for
  • 00:21:13
    strolling or strutting pretty much get
  • 00:21:16
    in line you all do the same little dance
  • 00:21:18
    so certain songs and things like that I
  • 00:21:21
    guess it really depends on like when you
  • 00:21:22
    cross like I'll college strolling I know
  • 00:21:24
    some people college studying like I went
  • 00:21:26
    to a stroll practice recently college
  • 00:21:29
    strange people probably struggling it's
  • 00:21:31
    the same thing
  • 00:21:32
    the time is pretty much interchangeable
  • 00:21:34
    and you can do pretty strikes trolls you
  • 00:21:38
    can do aggressive stretch straws you can
  • 00:21:40
    do repetitive fresh drugs I mean the
  • 00:21:42
    options are endless it's just pretty
  • 00:21:44
    much you do what you want to do you do
  • 00:21:46
    stuff that people can do and you will
  • 00:21:48
    get tired but just don't I make you so I
  • 00:21:50
    mean strutting Stroman it's fun I like
  • 00:21:52
    that I think that's one my favorite
  • 00:21:53
    parts of buddy I like that part
  • 00:21:59
    so teasing me for tail tail is the
  • 00:22:02
    person at the end of the line that's the
  • 00:22:03
    last person to line typically the tail
  • 00:22:06
    is the tallest but again it depends on
  • 00:22:09
    how the prophytes decided to diet about
  • 00:22:12
    your lineup so tail hold it down so
  • 00:22:14
    sometimes it's not always just the
  • 00:22:15
    tallest person is sometimes the person
  • 00:22:17
    that they feel like it's the strongest
  • 00:22:20
    to hold down the line so yeah that's
  • 00:22:24
    what the tail is or that's who this is
  • 00:22:25
    it so U is for unaffiliated and that
  • 00:22:28
    means that you are not affiliated with
  • 00:22:30
    the organization so sometimes we'll have
  • 00:22:33
    events where it's people that are like
  • 00:22:35
    speaking and it'll be somebody that's
  • 00:22:37
    like not necessarily in the organization
  • 00:22:39
    but they are at these made they are
  • 00:22:41
    unaffiliated with the organization and
  • 00:22:43
    that's basically what that term means so
  • 00:22:45
    it's really not so much thought of doing
  • 00:22:47
    so for V W and X like I really tried to
  • 00:22:50
    find ways back couldn't find anything to
  • 00:22:52
    go with those sober and skip those words
  • 00:22:54
    I mean it's the Greek alphabet in the
  • 00:22:55
    day and it's my outfit today so I don't
  • 00:22:58
    have words one so we're gonna get them
  • 00:22:59
    okay so why is for yard so yard is
  • 00:23:03
    basically like where everybody kind of
  • 00:23:07
    just
  • 00:23:07
    together most campuses will have a car
  • 00:23:09
    and that's basically where people just
  • 00:23:12
    you know get out in they you know
  • 00:23:13
    struggle bill to like all that this
  • 00:23:15
    stuff is just a position or a place on
  • 00:23:17
    the campus where a Greeks typically hang
  • 00:23:19
    out and I mean to do that thing normally
  • 00:23:23
    it's like a grassy area or I can just be
  • 00:23:25
    like just it's like a courtyard so
  • 00:23:26
    basically just wherever they you know
  • 00:23:28
    get together and congregate
  • 00:23:29
    that's the yard every campus should have
  • 00:23:32
    something similar they might not like I
  • 00:23:35
    mean it depends on the campus but that's
  • 00:23:38
    what yard refers to so that's not I'm
  • 00:23:40
    Abed easy there's gonna be free data and
  • 00:23:42
    this oh yeah I know this video was way
  • 00:23:45
    longer than I expected to be but I hope
  • 00:23:46
    that that helped with understanding some
  • 00:23:48
    of these terms if you haven't already
  • 00:23:49
    done so go ahead and give me a thumbs up
  • 00:23:50
    and don't forget to subscribe I will
  • 00:23:52
