WEE-OOp!! My soror's were amazing in this!! I had to tell yall this video help me get through my process...seeing how live yall got it made me work that much harder...congrats for making such an amazing video!! #3 A.S.K ..9 L.O.H.A.S. on AUM colony 2K10....WEEEEEE-OOOOOP!!!
The true fact is AKA has always been about service from day one. The social aspect of all d9 orgs was there in the beginning as well...that's very true. But social means we held down our own, looked out for our own and promoted our own kind in a time where slavery had just ended and racial tensions still ran extremely high, but no one organized their sorority or frat to sit around and sip tea and eat crumpets. We WORKED in 1908 and we still are. & although there is no legal copyright on calls..,
By the way I am a "GDI," but I appreciate my African-American culture. I understand as a member of AKA you are appalled by the Sorority's call. But, what they do for their communities (School and Neighborhood) is just as valuable as any organization, whether it's Divine Nine. From a positive strengths perspective (Social Worker here!! :-)) You should be flattered. I hope you find my reply with utmost respect.
From my understanding, Gamma Sigma Sigma is a National Service Sorority founded in 1952. It's predominantly, a white organization (Race means NOTHING), but there are chapters established in HBCU's. So, these chapters have adopted the Divine 9 culture. There brothers are Alpha Phi Omega, a National Fraternity Social Organization. However; some chapters of Alpha Phi Omega is co-ed, much like the Zeta Phi Chapter at Howard University. This is the same for Lation/a Greek organizations as well.
First of all we say Wee-Oop for a very specific reason and it has nothing to do with AKA or DST...we respect all D9 orgs and we have many sorors that are in D9 as well as Gamma Sig. We are too busy trying to uphold our own purpose...we don't waste our time trying to be like any other org. At the end of they day everybody copies everybody in some form shape for fashion...even you honey...so let it go...We don't disrespect anybody so we just ask for reciprocity.
I have given props 2 Gamma Sig 4 being the entity that it is repeatedly on here, so I am in NO WAY tearing down ur org. We r all here 2 uplift each other in our endeavors. I know that. & I do that. I just found the call a lil' suspicious, thatz all. But life goes on, right? & my founders would probably agree. After all, they r the ORIGINATORS. I've tried 2 end this debate already, but if u wanna continue we can. But there's no need. I said wut i had to say & so did u all. Greek love, my sis.
Just checked my Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. membership card and it is....CURRENT AND VALID *INDEED*! B.S. to you b/c you're offended. You will be just fine, boo. Like I said to imitate is to respect. Kudos to GSS for the service it renders and Greek love to u. GOODBYE.
(continued) at least not as of yet (the issue has been brought forth to do so as well as our hand sign), I'm just expressing my own opinion (b/c we can do that in America) about originality being key. So...you're welcome for the kind words and Greek love to you.
Yea please tell 'em 'cause I'm gone ALWAYS have something to say as long as they keep posting. I just told ur other Soror I'm I was through with the conversation. She and I came to an agreement that you all say one thing and I think otrherwise. Opinions--everyone has one. I've applauded GSS for what you all do and said no matter the difference of opinions, life goes on. So, contrary to what ur thinking, I've been done. But if see a new post, please believe I will respond.
This, from a member of an org that's literally behind EVERYBODY. Honey, no one and especially me, is *behind* you. Thanks for the entertainment though, because that's hilarious!! You're dismissed. *Flips hair, continues to lead the way.* #BlessYourHeart
well the bottom line is the call isn't gonna change simply because some people on the outside looking in don't like it. So i guess you're just gonna have to suffer through. You'll live. I promise
Everyone knows Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority i meant social saving club founder were paper. For some reason they think Pink and green match. We all know that not ture. All you need is 3 days or less to get you letters to join there little club. Paper tear easy. Get some real letters like GAMMA SIGMA SIGMA.....
GSS is a service sorority and that it has always been. You all started off as a social club, let's make sure we stay true to the facts. Our organization is very different from yours. Not trying to shit on your sorority or anything but seriously our calls are different and they mean different things to each organization. So until you get a patent for that specific piece of the calls or something of the sort your argument is pretty irrelevant. & thanks for the kind words but originality is a key
People take things that mean something to one group and give it a different meaning for themselves. That happens, uh, ALL THE TIME. For example, the pyramid is the Delta's hand sign. It's also Jay-Z's dynasty sign. Ur hand sign is the same as SGRho. KKPsi hand sign is the same as Phi Beta Sigma. The Alpha's handsign is a Hawaiian greeting. The list goes on. So...yea...that post didn't do much good, now did it? Just sayin when somethin's obvious, it just is. No hating, just wnted 2 know, my dear.
Soror, if you really are a Soror, I am in no way making AKA look bad, I'm also not feeling myself. I respect this organization and applaud them, or yall, for what you do, BUT I want EVERY PART of our call (Skee-Wee) to be used by us. You cannot sit here and tell me that is is not CRYSTAL CLEAR that wee-oop is a derivative of AKA and DST. U feel as if I'm out of line--and that's fine b/c that's ur opinion and Sorors don't have to agree on everything--BUT of course I disagree. Originality is...
Our grad advisor told my chapter that when I was in undergrad, because she was holding another office @ the time when it happened. Do your research on that and then come back and talk 2 me about our past national president who had nothing of the sort happen to her b/c it was never that serious. She stole millions 2 make a statue of herself????? STOP IT!!! LMBO!!! Is that wut they say she did? & millions? Really?? I actually feel bad 4 whoever started that lie! & it is spelled statue, not status.
Once again, if service is so very important to you and your organization you would not be here arguing about a call. The call has a certain significance and is genuine to the organization. As far as your own orgs problems, there are many...try to use better judgement of character when selecting NATIONAL officers and REPRESENTATIVES for your sorority. & to say you don't care about your sisters feelings on this particular issue says more about you than you might have intended. I'm proud of you fo
(cont). AKA will always be illustrious, and I'm not saying other orgs are not...I just don't appreciate the "copy-catting". It's so obvious. And especially being apart of the FIRST black sorority, it's easy to see. But, honey--wee-oop??? ANYBODY can see that acually. In fact, I'm not the only one who said something about it. But then again, it's a known fact that the highest form of respect is imitation. So...instead of being upset, I'm just gonna say Awwww!!!
Thats what im trying to tell you sweetheart. In order for us to even want to use part of your call we need to know what it is. Why use something we dont have an understanding of. That like me throwing up the lady fortitude and not knowing what she represents to the deltas. A founding gamma sig would have had to be a member of AKA in order to want to use part of it. Seriously. Dont ask me what my call means when you wont disclose yours.
Don't understand what Gamma Sig is? A service sorority. Something I'm VERY familiar with. lol. And if you say it is not a combination of my call and DST's, I'm just going to have to take your word for it...no matter how much I feel that that is a lie. But, no...i'm not upset. At least not anymore. I appreciate the love, hun. God bless.
Girl get somewhere and do what GSS has called u to do. Legacy? I was the first one in my family to even go Greek, so....NEGATIVE. I've already stated, this has nothing to with what anybody else thinks and trust me others think the same thing. They've posted on other videos. And i applaud u 4 doing work for ur org. I'm not knockin GSS. I just think the call is tooooo obvious, that's ALL. & IT IS and i cnt change that. But to imitate is to respect. So, to be positive, imma just say Greek love.
My feelings got hurt? Heffa you are soooo misunderstood. Hurt by who? Members of this org who have clearly mirrored several d9 orgs. Get a boost of self esteem instead of tryna make urself feel better by attempting to "go off." I said what i said and feel how i feel and that's that. Luke i said before, kudos to GSS, but imitation is the highest form of respect. Good day and God bless! oh and skee-WEEEEEEE!
(cont again) such old news! lol Is AKA in a financial bind? NO. Were any allegations against the ONE Soror --who was president at the time-- proven to actually be true? NO. Is Alpha Kappa Alpha continuing 2 be a trailblazer in service, scholarship, and sisterhood? DEFINITELY! So, again, my call--EVERY PART OF IT--is extremely vital. I'm not tryna be obnoxious about it, but it should just be left 2 us and us only. It's too obvious & that makes it worse. That's how I feel and I can't change that.
Heffa, I didn't bring up OES. But if I had, PLEASE tell me what u gone do??? NOTHING but run your cyber mouth about something that has no importance to me in any way. The only thing I was telling her is that we have nothing to do with OES, that's all. Gone somewhere now!
(cont) It would be something else if what they said was something totally different and ambiguous. But if an AKA or a Delta hears "wee" or "oop" it's gonna ring a bell. I'm sorry. It's just too obvious. And yes I know their are D9 members in this org. Still doesn't change the fact that imitation is the highest form of respect. So they can wee-oop all they want. I just say you're welcome. No disrespect at all. Good day and be blessed!!!!
HERE IIT IS BOO!!!!!!! Of course I know what SKEE-WEE means--I'm an AKA. HELLO??? Which is why it baffles me that any other org--d9 or not--would use ANY part of the call or any other orgs--like DST (the the 2nd part of the call) Just curious? Do you know why yall do that???? I'm not bashing your org. Just wanna know...
....That's the best you could come up with?????????????? BWAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHHHAAAA!!!!! Couldn't think of a real comeback because what I said is all true, huh? Smh...Sweetie pie? Darling? Sugar Plum...whatever it takes for you to feel better about your "recycled sorority" is quite alright with me. If I were you, I'd react the same way, I'm sure. Awww! Poor thing! :-( Now let's cyber hug and u can go back to imitating ALL of us. After all, imitation is the highest form of RESPECT!!! #BowDown
I appreciate your respectful response, and I somewhat agree with u. But when it is blatantly truly and plainly this obvious, that's when I got bothered. But, you know what? I'm gonna try and look at this a different way. If someone copies another, it's out of respect b/c they clearly are impressed. So, I get ur point. Kudos to GSS and Greek love to you.
(cont). And your obvious ignorance comes straight through the words you write. I thought the neo presentation was nice. Not knocking the org at all...I just feel really strongly about originality and they need to get some...even if it is "just a call". Calls are apart of our identity and I think that's EXTREMELY important. Have a blessed day.
So pointing out an obvious point is bashing and arguing? Girl please go get some business about yourself. I am 100% confident in what my sorority stands for. But apparently others are too since part of our call has been adopted into part of theirs. I'm tired of explaining this. I love that this is another organization caring for the communities and are out there working hard to uphold its principles. Big props for that. But if part of their identity (the call) aint original, IT JUST AINT HUNNY!
1st of all you're several months late on this conversation. I have stated my opinion, had some run-ins with members of this org, still felt the same and stood my ground on the subject, and the issue was resolved. And it's not that they didn't care about a call when it first started...that was just not a primary concern, which is very understandable. And trust, I'm SO NOT the only AKA who said something about it! I'm just the only one who kept replying when GS left some smart comment. BUT...
(continued) make sure u know this: I know "get ur life" is the lil' popular saying 4 right now, but trust...I GOT MY LIFE. Actually Jesus the Christ does. Hoping He has yours too. & the argument is officially over. An opinion? Everyone has one. U say 1 thing, & I definitely think otherwise. But hey, life goes on right? Reiterating what I said before, work hard for your org, but PLEASE don't die 4 the letters they bear. I dnt know u like that, but I would still hate that. God bless n greek love.
For an English major, you misspelled the following words: obviously, because, has, absolutely, any, things, plus sentence fragments, run-ons, and missing punctuations such as commas and apostrophes. See, I can point these things out easily b/c English is my favorite subject and is at the forefront of my bachelor's degree b/c I was a communications major. So, hmmm...kind of troubling & questionable to see someone with a degree in English spell like that. But you say MY grammar is tragic? lol!!!!
You couldn't be more right than you are right now. I will DEFINITELY live! That's what I've been doing, sweetie. And suffer through? Really? That's hilarious. Although it is soooooo obvious that "wee" and "oop" were recycled to become part of this org's identity, I'm actually quite flattered. As I said before, imitation is the highest form of RESPECT. Bye now :-)
ummmm.....ok....I would not dare want to make u look any way that paints a negative picture. But some have done that to themselves. I had nothing to do with it. I just correct what and who needs to be corrected. But anyway, feel how u want. I still love ya! Got love for Zeta and GSS. And I never said Zetas were lame, I just told u what others stereotype u as. Just as they attach negative stereotypes to us. I know I made myself clear on that in that previous post, but u must have misunderstood.
All I'm saying is it's too obvious. A lil' originality aint neva hurt nobody. So dnt come on here telling me to mind my own business. My call IS my business. I've gotten past this debate with ur other sorors b/c we have agreed to disagree. I respect GSS for its impact in communities abroad and support u all as another powerful female entity making huge strides in the world. Greek love, God bless, and GOODBYE.
(CONTINUED) it was actually a Delta who pointed it out to me. So if you think I'm the only Greek in the world who had something to say, you're WRONG. SMH
I could go in on this chick about AKA and what your founders stole from OES, since we talking about stealing..... but its not worth it. you know your place and that's why you commented on this video. that has nth at all to do with you or your Greek life. SKEET to the sisters going in.....
(cont) dont know. Why is it that is ther only thing you can think to say in your defense when it has NOTHING to do with copying calls. Again, AKA is full of magnificent, strong, intelligent women who have made the sorority the great org that it is today, despite whatever internal discrepencies a FEW handful of sorors had with one another. It was sorted out, we moved on as sisters and that's that. & r y'all late on that? Because we have been under another national president since 2010. That is
Well once again, we haven't copied you, "wee-oop" has absolutely nothing to do with "skee-wee" or "oo-oop." There is really nothing for you to be upset about. However, I do understand that you don't understand what Gamma Sig is and it's possible that you never will. But anyway....greek love back at you my dear.
@preciouspearl1908 I'm quite sure your founders would be very disappointed with your actions. I even decided to let some friends and co workers of mine who are AKAs read some of these comments and they were appalled by some of the things that were said.
LOL. We are all dedicated to service...it's the main platform for all of us...the entire D9, that is. You know, the orgs founded waaaaay before y'all??? Like I said, kudos to ur org for all it does in society, BUT just admit you merged two calls together and called it a day...seriously. Apparently, there is an issue with daring to be different here. It's not a bad idea, I promise.
LISTEN? Girl, I am grown and this is the world wide web. I can comment on whatever I want and say it however I want, BUT i didnt. I was actually quite nice about it, but it's ur kind on here showing no class with their language and I'm quite appalled that their even apart of ur sorority. It's not a good look. I already told you how i feel in a respectful way. If they cant respond the same way, then the problem lies within them. Good day.
LOL!!!! AND I'M WEAK!!! Let me see if I got this right...u imitate us by using part of our call with another d9 org and then start hating when u get called out on it? LAME!!! And may I add, so hypocritical. smh with my Pretty PINK and GREEN on!!!
Sweetie we ARE service!!! You think becuase you're not D9, you can't be an imitator? PLEASE! And why may I ask do you think the service is gone? That's such an ignorant comment. I've told u once, it's been about service from day one and it still is regardless of the opinions you've formed in ur head as ur on the outside looking in. As far as I'm concerned, A call is as important as a motto, mascot, colors so yea...i'm don't like it one bit. And ur only blowin it off as something so petty...
obviously not as important to u as it is to me. That's still fine, but don't get on here and tell me I'm out of line for addressing something that's important to me. Feel how u want to feel, because I certainly do, and that's not gonna change.
Get a life. Get a call that has NO PART of SKEE or WEE in it. My point is very valid. Kudos to your org for all it does. Not knocking your accolades one bit. Just cnt stand how obvious it is that part of our identity has been merged with another just to make your own. It's lame. Smh....
Nah, I'm good, my dear. AKA is sufficient for me. I'm sure you ladies hold it down very well. Are u at ASU? Do u all do things in conjunction with d9? Not that it actually matters, but if ur @ ASU, I would be all for coming up showing GSS Greek love on some of ur upcoming events. I like to mingle with and celebrate all Greeks, not just d9. Some of the best people I know are KKPsi, Tau Beta Sigma, Sigma Alpha Iota, etc. Despite any conflict of opinion, I love us all, seriously.
HIIILLLLLAAAARRIOOUS!!!! ur actually serious? AKA gets no respect?? The 104 yr first black greek sorority gets NOOOO respect??? Dang! I must be hallucinating! Apparently GSS respects us 'cause part of their call is...OURS. Pink and Green doesn't match? Since when? Honey, I'm praying for you...REALLY! Don't 4get to check on that grammar class! LOL!!!!
you're really taking the time out of your life to come on this Gamma Sigma Sigma video to bash them and argue? you must really care about them....if you're confident in what your sorority stands for then there's no need to argue about something as petty as a call. Is your sorority about a call? because i could have sworn it was supposed to be about a bigger picture. I doubt your founders even had a call all the way back in the 1900s. that's something that probably came along the way.. smh
To you Miss AKA, no disrespect but I've known your organization to be "Elegant & Sophisticated"...Your actions/comments on this video shows none of that.
(continued) like I said b4 (before) to u and ur other sorors, you can deny what u want, but it is just too obvious. But leaving on a positive note, imitation is the highest form of respect. Again, I applaud GSS. Keep up the excellent work. And besides the spelling errors, another thing that makes u look dumb is saying u will die for your letters. I love my AKA & work HARD for it & always will, BUT BUT BUT, the only letters worth dying for are GOD/JESUS. Think about that, my dear. Greek love 2 u.
LOL! And thank you for RESPECTING AKA by imitating. You're hilarious! Never said you wanted to be d9, but it's clear you mirror SOMETHING after two D9 orgs. It's in the call sweetie! It's CLEARLY in the call!
Sorors please stop wasting y'all time entertaining this mess. Of course what she's saying will piss any Gamma Sig off, but at the end of the day we know our history & we know the reason as to why we do certain things. We don't have to prove anything to anyone outside this organization
Well please go in then. PLEASE school me if u really can. Sweetie u cant. OES is a sisterhood, but not a greek sorority. So again, what has AKA stolen from OES??? Get you some business that's actually worth arguing about! lol
WEE-OOP??? Are u serious???? So you just merge sorority calls together now...I'm a woman of the illustrious Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and I don't like it one bit...just saying...grab some type of originality please!
so again you came all the way to this video to give a speech,......about a call? hmmm seems legit. i guess for your organization the call is the most important thing. You learn something knew everyday i guess....and again did your founders have a call in the 1900s. nope because they DIDN'T CARE! that obviously was the least important thing on their mind. hmmm
You're a Zeta and Gamma Sig? So u imitate AND you're lame! Seriously, I don't think that of Zetas but many others do...trust me. I hear it all. Just like y'all swear up and down AKAs are paper and don't know our history...NOT!!! At least this one isn't! But sweetie, why do u think I'm mad? I just find the call to be a little...oh i dnt know...un-original. BUT I've had this conversation w/ others in GSS and they say no but i think otherwise. SO WHAT? It's what I think and it's not changing, but..
I'm hating???? Really???? On an org that has adopted part of my call and another's? PLEASE! LOL!!! You're ovbiously delusional. Look, I appaud any service organization that's doing some good for the communties abroad. Don't have a problem with your sorority as a legal operating entity like all of us in the D9. I'm just saying, be more original in your identity. Service has been #1 for AKA since 1908, so...that means the chapter at ur school needs to get on it if they're not.
To say I'm not concerned about how my sorors feel about this particular subject actually says...nothing, except I know how I feel about it and that really has nothing to do with them, that's all. Apparently you're not comprehending what I'm saying. You speak as if a call is so petty, when in actuality, it's just as important to an org's IDENTITY as colors, mottos, official mascots, etc. That is the only point I keep reiterating. As for selection of officers in AKA, you still speak on what you..
Ah, (sighing) hear you go with the same stuff you apparently know nothing of either. I've explained--IN DETAIL--the whole national president thing on here to one of ur other sorors. What u all have been told is sooooo false! lol. But say what u want. People always have, dear. But trust me, I'm not loosing a wink of sleep. I sit back and laugh especially b/c you're a Zeta and this may have been before your time, but y'all actually had a national officer arrested for embezzlement. Old heads talk!

WEE-OOp!! My soror's were amazing in this!! I had to tell yall this video help me get through my process...seeing how live yall got it made me work that much harder...congrats for making such an amazing video!! #3 A.S.K ..9 L.O.H.A.S. on AUM colony 2K10....WEEEEEE-OOOOOP!!!
The true fact is AKA has always been about service from day one. The social aspect of all d9 orgs was there in the beginning as well...that's very true. But social means we held down our own, looked out for our own and promoted our own kind in a time where slavery had just ended and racial tensions still ran extremely high, but no one organized their sorority or frat to sit around and sip tea and eat crumpets. We WORKED in 1908 and we still are. & although there is no legal copyright on calls..,
Nice. I came up there a lil while ago when my Mom was stationed at Ft. McClullen in Anniston.
Wee-oop!
Thanks Mr. Grind :)
By the way I am a "GDI," but I appreciate my African-American culture. I understand as a member of AKA you are appalled by the Sorority's call. But, what they do for their communities (School and Neighborhood) is just as valuable as any organization, whether it's Divine Nine. From a positive strengths perspective (Social Worker here!! :-)) You should be flattered. I hope you find my reply with utmost respect.
Thanks soror!! You hold both organizations down well!! :)
WEEOOOP! I see y'all sisters! I wish Eta Rho did these. We'd be so lit
My apologies, Alpha Phi Omega is a National Service Fraternity, not what I wrote below. LOL!
From my understanding, Gamma Sigma Sigma is a National Service Sorority founded in 1952. It's predominantly, a white organization (Race means NOTHING), but there are chapters established in HBCU's. So, these chapters have adopted the Divine 9 culture. There brothers are Alpha Phi Omega, a National Fraternity Social Organization. However; some chapters of Alpha Phi Omega is co-ed, much like the Zeta Phi Chapter at Howard University. This is the same for Lation/a Greek organizations as well.
First of all we say Wee-Oop for a very specific reason and it has nothing to do with AKA or DST...we respect all D9 orgs and we have many sorors that are in D9 as well as Gamma Sig. We are too busy trying to uphold our own purpose...we don't waste our time trying to be like any other org. At the end of they day everybody copies everybody in some form shape for fashion...even you honey...so let it go...We don't disrespect anybody so we just ask for reciprocity.
I have given props 2 Gamma Sig 4 being the entity that it is repeatedly on here, so I am in NO WAY tearing down ur org. We r all here 2 uplift each other in our endeavors. I know that. & I do that. I just found the call a lil' suspicious, thatz all. But life goes on, right? & my founders would probably agree. After all, they r the ORIGINATORS. I've tried 2 end this debate already, but if u wanna continue we can. But there's no need. I said wut i had to say & so did u all. Greek love, my sis.
WEE-OOP!! Sorors!

Too hawt!! OW OW!! This is nice!!
jacksonville state (AL), OR jackson state (MS)?
(continued) at least not as of yet (the issue has been brought forth to do so as well as our hand sign), I'm just expressing my own opinion (b/c we can do that in America) about originality being key. So...you're welcome for the kind words and Greek love to you.
thank u ammie..i dare her to spend her time doing some seevice instead of attempting , and failing miserably, to go in on Maroon and White.....
IVE NEVER HEARD OF GSS UNTIL TONIGHT..... IDK THERE WAS MORE BLACK FOUNDED FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES? BUT THEY GO HARD
Yea please tell 'em 'cause I'm gone ALWAYS have something to say as long as they keep posting. I just told ur other Soror I'm I was through with the conversation. She and I came to an agreement that you all say one thing and I think otrherwise. Opinions--everyone has one. I've applauded GSS for what you all do and said no matter the difference of opinions, life goes on. So, contrary to what ur thinking, I've been done. But if see a new post, please believe I will respond.
@1791latina WHO WERE THEY FOUNDED BY?
I died!!!! pink and green damn sure dont match!
This, from a member of an org that's literally behind EVERYBODY. Honey, no one and especially me, is *behind* you. Thanks for the entertainment though, because that's hilarious!! You're dismissed. *Flips hair, continues to lead the way.* #BlessYourHeart
I'm proud of you for joining that organization. However, work on serving the purpose and stop overshadowing it with blatant ignorance.
well the bottom line is the call isn't gonna change simply because some people on the outside looking in don't like it. So i guess you're just gonna have to suffer through. You'll live. I promise
Everyone knows Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority i meant social saving club founder were paper. For some reason they think Pink and green match. We all know that not ture. All you need is 3 days or less to get you letters to join there little club. Paper tear easy. Get some real letters like GAMMA SIGMA SIGMA.....
GSS is a service sorority and that it has always been. You all started off as a social club, let's make sure we stay true to the facts. Our organization is very different from yours. Not trying to shit on your sorority or anything but seriously our calls are different and they mean different things to each organization. So until you get a patent for that specific piece of the calls or something of the sort your argument is pretty irrelevant. & thanks for the kind words but originality is a key
People take things that mean something to one group and give it a different meaning for themselves. That happens, uh, ALL THE TIME. For example, the pyramid is the Delta's hand sign. It's also Jay-Z's dynasty sign. Ur hand sign is the same as SGRho. KKPsi hand sign is the same as Phi Beta Sigma. The Alpha's handsign is a Hawaiian greeting. The list goes on. So...yea...that post didn't do much good, now did it? Just sayin when somethin's obvious, it just is. No hating, just wnted 2 know, my dear.
I see you sorors! Weeee SKEEET!!!

Soror, if you really are a Soror, I am in no way making AKA look bad, I'm also not feeling myself. I respect this organization and applaud them, or yall, for what you do, BUT I want EVERY PART of our call (Skee-Wee) to be used by us. You cannot sit here and tell me that is is not CRYSTAL CLEAR that wee-oop is a derivative of AKA and DST. U feel as if I'm out of line--and that's fine b/c that's ur opinion and Sorors don't have to agree on everything--BUT of course I disagree. Originality is...
Our grad advisor told my chapter that when I was in undergrad, because she was holding another office @ the time when it happened. Do your research on that and then come back and talk 2 me about our past national president who had nothing of the sort happen to her b/c it was never that serious. She stole millions 2 make a statue of herself????? STOP IT!!! LMBO!!! Is that wut they say she did? & millions? Really?? I actually feel bad 4 whoever started that lie! & it is spelled statue, not status.
Once again, if service is so very important to you and your organization you would not be here arguing about a call. The call has a certain significance and is genuine to the organization. As far as your own orgs problems, there are many...try to use better judgement of character when selecting NATIONAL officers and REPRESENTATIVES for your sorority. & to say you don't care about your sisters feelings on this particular issue says more about you than you might have intended. I'm proud of you fo
(cont). AKA will always be illustrious, and I'm not saying other orgs are not...I just don't appreciate the "copy-catting". It's so obvious. And especially being apart of the FIRST black sorority, it's easy to see. But, honey--wee-oop??? ANYBODY can see that acually. In fact, I'm not the only one who said something about it. But then again, it's a known fact that the highest form of respect is imitation. So...instead of being upset, I'm just gonna say Awwww!!!
Hey Sisters Wee-Oop
anytime soror!! Wee-Oop!!!
Thats what im trying to tell you sweetheart. In order for us to even want to use part of your call we need to know what it is. Why use something we dont have an understanding of. That like me throwing up the lady fortitude and not knowing what she represents to the deltas. A founding gamma sig would have had to be a member of AKA in order to want to use part of it. Seriously. Dont ask me what my call means when you wont disclose yours.
Don't understand what Gamma Sig is? A service sorority. Something I'm VERY familiar with. lol. And if you say it is not a combination of my call and DST's, I'm just going to have to take your word for it...no matter how much I feel that that is a lie. But, no...i'm not upset. At least not anymore. I appreciate the love, hun. God bless.
Girl get somewhere and do what GSS has called u to do. Legacy? I was the first one in my family to even go Greek, so....NEGATIVE. I've already stated, this has nothing to with what anybody else thinks and trust me others think the same thing. They've posted on other videos. And i applaud u 4 doing work for ur org. I'm not knockin GSS. I just think the call is tooooo obvious, that's ALL. & IT IS and i cnt change that. But to imitate is to respect. So, to be positive, imma just say Greek love.
My feelings got hurt? Heffa you are soooo misunderstood. Hurt by who? Members of this org who have clearly mirrored several d9 orgs. Get a boost of self esteem instead of tryna make urself feel better by attempting to "go off." I said what i said and feel how i feel and that's that. Luke i said before, kudos to GSS, but imitation is the highest form of respect. Good day and God bless! oh and skee-WEEEEEEE!
(cont again) such old news! lol Is AKA in a financial bind? NO. Were any allegations against the ONE Soror --who was president at the time-- proven to actually be true? NO. Is Alpha Kappa Alpha continuing 2 be a trailblazer in service, scholarship, and sisterhood? DEFINITELY! So, again, my call--EVERY PART OF IT--is extremely vital. I'm not tryna be obnoxious about it, but it should just be left 2 us and us only. It's too obvious & that makes it worse. That's how I feel and I can't change that.
Heffa, I didn't bring up OES. But if I had, PLEASE tell me what u gone do??? NOTHING but run your cyber mouth about something that has no importance to me in any way. The only thing I was telling her is that we have nothing to do with OES, that's all. Gone somewhere now!
(cont) It would be something else if what they said was something totally different and ambiguous. But if an AKA or a Delta hears "wee" or "oop" it's gonna ring a bell. I'm sorry. It's just too obvious. And yes I know their are D9 members in this org. Still doesn't change the fact that imitation is the highest form of respect. So they can wee-oop all they want. I just say you're welcome. No disrespect at all. Good day and be blessed!!!!
preciouspearl1908 can a D9 really be in another sorority like this one?
HERE IIT IS BOO!!!!!!! Of course I know what SKEE-WEE means--I'm an AKA. HELLO??? Which is why it baffles me that any other org--d9 or not--would use ANY part of the call or any other orgs--like DST (the the 2nd part of the call) Just curious? Do you know why yall do that???? I'm not bashing your org. Just wanna know...
My teacher now was #12
Basically...smh too.
....That's the best you could come up with?????????????? BWAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHHHAAAA!!!!! Couldn't think of a real comeback because what I said is all true, huh? Smh...Sweetie pie? Darling? Sugar Plum...whatever it takes for you to feel better about your "recycled sorority" is quite alright with me. If I were you, I'd react the same way, I'm sure. Awww! Poor thing! :-( Now let's cyber hug and u can go back to imitating ALL of us. After all, imitation is the highest form of RESPECT!!! #BowDown
I appreciate your respectful response, and I somewhat agree with u. But when it is blatantly truly and plainly this obvious, that's when I got bothered. But, you know what? I'm gonna try and look at this a different way. If someone copies another, it's out of respect b/c they clearly are impressed. So, I get ur point. Kudos to GSS and Greek love to you.
(cont). And your obvious ignorance comes straight through the words you write. I thought the neo presentation was nice. Not knocking the org at all...I just feel really strongly about originality and they need to get some...even if it is "just a call". Calls are apart of our identity and I think that's EXTREMELY important. Have a blessed day.
So pointing out an obvious point is bashing and arguing? Girl please go get some business about yourself. I am 100% confident in what my sorority stands for. But apparently others are too since part of our call has been adopted into part of theirs. I'm tired of explaining this. I love that this is another organization caring for the communities and are out there working hard to uphold its principles. Big props for that. But if part of their identity (the call) aint original, IT JUST AINT HUNNY!
I'd suggest for her 3... Wee-OOP!
also have you noticed you are the only AKA on here arguing....probably because all the others see the bigger picture.
1st of all you're several months late on this conversation. I have stated my opinion, had some run-ins with members of this org, still felt the same and stood my ground on the subject, and the issue was resolved. And it's not that they didn't care about a call when it first started...that was just not a primary concern, which is very understandable. And trust, I'm SO NOT the only AKA who said something about it! I'm just the only one who kept replying when GS left some smart comment. BUT...
(continued) make sure u know this: I know "get ur life" is the lil' popular saying 4 right now, but trust...I GOT MY LIFE. Actually Jesus the Christ does. Hoping He has yours too. & the argument is officially over. An opinion? Everyone has one. U say 1 thing, & I definitely think otherwise. But hey, life goes on right? Reiterating what I said before, work hard for your org, but PLEASE don't die 4 the letters they bear. I dnt know u like that, but I would still hate that. God bless n greek love.
For an English major, you misspelled the following words: obviously, because, has, absolutely, any, things, plus sentence fragments, run-ons, and missing punctuations such as commas and apostrophes. See, I can point these things out easily b/c English is my favorite subject and is at the forefront of my bachelor's degree b/c I was a communications major. So, hmmm...kind of troubling & questionable to see someone with a degree in English spell like that. But you say MY grammar is tragic? lol!!!!
You couldn't be more right than you are right now. I will DEFINITELY live! That's what I've been doing, sweetie. And suffer through? Really? That's hilarious. Although it is soooooo obvious that "wee" and "oop" were recycled to become part of this org's identity, I'm actually quite flattered. As I said before, imitation is the highest form of RESPECT. Bye now :-)
ummmm.....ok....I would not dare want to make u look any way that paints a negative picture. But some have done that to themselves. I had nothing to do with it. I just correct what and who needs to be corrected. But anyway, feel how u want. I still love ya! Got love for Zeta and GSS. And I never said Zetas were lame, I just told u what others stereotype u as. Just as they attach negative stereotypes to us. I know I made myself clear on that in that previous post, but u must have misunderstood.
Where is the originality? Wee-oop? Really? So that's a combination of Skee- wee and Ooo- oop? smh.
bye. hahaha WEE-OOP
All I'm saying is it's too obvious. A lil' originality aint neva hurt nobody. So dnt come on here telling me to mind my own business. My call IS my business. I've gotten past this debate with ur other sorors b/c we have agreed to disagree. I respect GSS for its impact in communities abroad and support u all as another powerful female entity making huge strides in the world. Greek love, God bless, and GOODBYE.
lol! Bye. Skee-WEE (last part sound familiar)? Of course, it does. Bless u..hahaaaaaahhaaa!!!
preciouspearl1908 please don’t come for my org our call mean something it’s not a copy soo please
(CONTINUED) it was actually a Delta who pointed it out to me. So if you think I'm the only Greek in the world who had something to say, you're WRONG. SMH
I could go in on this chick about AKA and what your founders stole from OES, since we talking about stealing..... but its not worth it. you know your place and that's why you commented on this video. that has nth at all to do with you or your Greek life. SKEET to the sisters going in.....
(cont) dont know. Why is it that is ther only thing you can think to say in your defense when it has NOTHING to do with copying calls. Again, AKA is full of magnificent, strong, intelligent women who have made the sorority the great org that it is today, despite whatever internal discrepencies a FEW handful of sorors had with one another. It was sorted out, we moved on as sisters and that's that. & r y'all late on that? Because we have been under another national president since 2010. That is
Well once again, we haven't copied you, "wee-oop" has absolutely nothing to do with "skee-wee" or "oo-oop." There is really nothing for you to be upset about. However, I do understand that you don't understand what Gamma Sig is and it's possible that you never will. But anyway....greek love back at you my dear.
@preciouspearl1908 I'm quite sure your founders would be very disappointed with your actions. I even decided to let some friends and co workers of mine who are AKAs read some of these comments and they were appalled by some of the things that were said.
LOL. We are all dedicated to service...it's the main platform for all of us...the entire D9, that is. You know, the orgs founded waaaaay before y'all??? Like I said, kudos to ur org for all it does in society, BUT just admit you merged two calls together and called it a day...seriously. Apparently, there is an issue with daring to be different here. It's not a bad idea, I promise.
(sighing again)...and yawning....whatever you say sweetheart. I doubt what you say is true, but whatever u say. Be blessed hun.
LISTEN? Girl, I am grown and this is the world wide web. I can comment on whatever I want and say it however I want, BUT i didnt. I was actually quite nice about it, but it's ur kind on here showing no class with their language and I'm quite appalled that their even apart of ur sorority. It's not a good look. I already told you how i feel in a respectful way. If they cant respond the same way, then the problem lies within them. Good day.
LOL!!!! AND I'M WEAK!!! Let me see if I got this right...u imitate us by using part of our call with another d9 org and then start hating when u get called out on it? LAME!!! And may I add, so hypocritical. smh with my Pretty PINK and GREEN on!!!
im still waiting for my reply hun
it sure is. And I kinda have a problem with it b/c I'm an AKA. what kind of sorority is this???! Somebody PLEASE explain.
Sweetie we ARE service!!! You think becuase you're not D9, you can't be an imitator? PLEASE! And why may I ask do you think the service is gone? That's such an ignorant comment. I've told u once, it's been about service from day one and it still is regardless of the opinions you've formed in ur head as ur on the outside looking in. As far as I'm concerned, A call is as important as a motto, mascot, colors so yea...i'm don't like it one bit. And ur only blowin it off as something so petty...
obviously not as important to u as it is to me. That's still fine, but don't get on here and tell me I'm out of line for addressing something that's important to me. Feel how u want to feel, because I certainly do, and that's not gonna change.
Get a life. Get a call that has NO PART of SKEE or WEE in it. My point is very valid. Kudos to your org for all it does. Not knocking your accolades one bit. Just cnt stand how obvious it is that part of our identity has been merged with another just to make your own. It's lame. Smh....
Nah, I'm good, my dear. AKA is sufficient for me. I'm sure you ladies hold it down very well. Are u at ASU? Do u all do things in conjunction with d9? Not that it actually matters, but if ur @ ASU, I would be all for coming up showing GSS Greek love on some of ur upcoming events. I like to mingle with and celebrate all Greeks, not just d9. Some of the best people I know are KKPsi, Tau Beta Sigma, Sigma Alpha Iota, etc. Despite any conflict of opinion, I love us all, seriously.
HIIILLLLLAAAARRIOOUS!!!! ur actually serious? AKA gets no respect?? The 104 yr first black greek sorority gets NOOOO respect??? Dang! I must be hallucinating! Apparently GSS respects us 'cause part of their call is...OURS. Pink and Green doesn't match? Since when? Honey, I'm praying for you...REALLY! Don't 4get to check on that grammar class! LOL!!!!
you're really taking the time out of your life to come on this Gamma Sigma Sigma video to bash them and argue? you must really care about them....if you're confident in what your sorority stands for then there's no need to argue about something as petty as a call. Is your sorority about a call? because i could have sworn it was supposed to be about a bigger picture. I doubt your founders even had a call all the way back in the 1900s. that's something that probably came along the way.. smh
To you Miss AKA, no disrespect but I've known your organization to be "Elegant & Sophisticated"...Your actions/comments on this video shows none of that.
(continued) like I said b4 (before) to u and ur other sorors, you can deny what u want, but it is just too obvious. But leaving on a positive note, imitation is the highest form of respect. Again, I applaud GSS. Keep up the excellent work. And besides the spelling errors, another thing that makes u look dumb is saying u will die for your letters. I love my AKA & work HARD for it & always will, BUT BUT BUT, the only letters worth dying for are GOD/JESUS. Think about that, my dear. Greek love 2 u.
(sighing)....if that's what you think, hun. Whatever makes you feel better...lol.
LOL! And thank you for RESPECTING AKA by imitating. You're hilarious! Never said you wanted to be d9, but it's clear you mirror SOMETHING after two D9 orgs. It's in the call sweetie! It's CLEARLY in the call!
Sorors please stop wasting y'all time entertaining this mess. Of course what she's saying will piss any Gamma Sig off, but at the end of the day we know our history & we know the reason as to why we do certain things. We don't have to prove anything to anyone outside this organization
Well please go in then. PLEASE school me if u really can. Sweetie u cant. OES is a sisterhood, but not a greek sorority. So again, what has AKA stolen from OES??? Get you some business that's actually worth arguing about! lol
WEE-OOP??? Are u serious???? So you just merge sorority calls together now...I'm a woman of the illustrious Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and I don't like it one bit...just saying...grab some type of originality please!
And to my beautiful sorors of Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority, please stop entertaining this. We are way better than this. WEE-OOP!!!!
so again you came all the way to this video to give a speech,......about a call? hmmm seems legit. i guess for your organization the call is the most important thing. You learn something knew everyday i guess....and again did your founders have a call in the 1900s. nope because they DIDN'T CARE! that obviously was the least important thing on their mind. hmmm
You're a Zeta and Gamma Sig? So u imitate AND you're lame! Seriously, I don't think that of Zetas but many others do...trust me. I hear it all. Just like y'all swear up and down AKAs are paper and don't know our history...NOT!!! At least this one isn't! But sweetie, why do u think I'm mad? I just find the call to be a little...oh i dnt know...un-original. BUT I've had this conversation w/ others in GSS and they say no but i think otherwise. SO WHAT? It's what I think and it's not changing, but..
I'm hating???? Really???? On an org that has adopted part of my call and another's? PLEASE! LOL!!! You're ovbiously delusional. Look, I appaud any service organization that's doing some good for the communties abroad. Don't have a problem with your sorority as a legal operating entity like all of us in the D9. I'm just saying, be more original in your identity. Service has been #1 for AKA since 1908, so...that means the chapter at ur school needs to get on it if they're not.
To say I'm not concerned about how my sorors feel about this particular subject actually says...nothing, except I know how I feel about it and that really has nothing to do with them, that's all. Apparently you're not comprehending what I'm saying. You speak as if a call is so petty, when in actuality, it's just as important to an org's IDENTITY as colors, mottos, official mascots, etc. That is the only point I keep reiterating. As for selection of officers in AKA, you still speak on what you..
Ah, (sighing) hear you go with the same stuff you apparently know nothing of either. I've explained--IN DETAIL--the whole national president thing on here to one of ur other sorors. What u all have been told is sooooo false! lol. But say what u want. People always have, dear. But trust me, I'm not loosing a wink of sleep. I sit back and laugh especially b/c you're a Zeta and this may have been before your time, but y'all actually had a national officer arrested for embezzlement. Old heads talk!
