BSL to a BOB for a sorority?!?!

[Brownie518]

Well, I absolutely wouldn't do it for a sorority. If she wanted to, that's fine, though. Just because hair is BSL doesn't mean it looks better than a bob.

 

[Jewell]

Hell to da NAWW. I only cut my hair for ME. Not because some sorority "sistahs" want me to cut my hair. I don't understand what that has to do with representing the sorority or helping me to advance anyway. The only thing its advancing is their hatin a** egos, because now they can say, "Yeah that ***** is stupid...she cut her hair-We can get her to do just about anything." Sorry, sounds a bit much, but I don't put nothing past jealous black females...no offense, but we can be very catty and have major attitude.

If she liked the bob look compared to BSL, it wouldn't have taken them urging her to cut it for her to rock the style independently.

that is exactly why i didn't pledge my freshman year. my roomate pledged AKA and had waistlength hair. she came home one nite in tears with a short bob. we were like she never really told us what happened except that "they made me cut my hair". then on top of all that , she quit the line for some other reason. it was insane!!

 

[AngieB]

All I can say is...AIN'T NO WAY!

Are you SERIOUS?!!!

Yeah, "sister" or not...if you are coming at my WL hair with a pair of shears all in the name of "sisterhood", you better believe that it is going to take the local police months to find and identify that arm!

 

[Hairsofab]

No way in the world would I do that. But hair grows.

 

[Rei]

hell no!

hair does grow, but MY hair in particular neither grows easily or fast, and if I was BSL it would have to be for a better reason than "join our secret club" for me to cut it. There are other organizations that "open doors for you" that don't involve you having to do crazy things for it to "fit in"

 

[*~*Afrolicious*~*]

A girl here at my university has cut her hair from BSL to a bob to become a member of a sorority. The members "urged" her to do so. She is not the first girl, and this isn't the first year of them doing this but she had about the prettiest hair of them all and it SHOCKED me.

I know hair can grow back and the letters are for forever. Because of the ENERYG, TIME, and MONEY I've put into my hair, but I just don't know if I could make that sacrifice... Could you??

I would, hair is hair and it will grow back.

hell naw! nobody can make me do anything except for my mama or a gun to my forehead. whoever came at me with those shears would have been stabbed with them.​

You have GOT to be kidding!!??? WHY??!!! What was the purpose of that? What does that have to do with sisterhood and community?

WAISTLENGTH!!!!???

Girl, I know dats right. As much as it takes for us 4a/4b ladies to get to that length, ain't no way I'm losing it without a fight...or worse.

 

[Long-n-Strong_Naturally]

Only if I were in the mood to cut my hair anyway, but here's the thing...If they asked me to chop it off even if I were in the mood to do it, I wouldn't pledge because that would be a big turn off to me. I can't say anything if someone else does it because it's their hair...they can do whatever they want with it (or should be able to).

In other words: Not bloody well likely!

[sqzbly1908]

This is friggin hazing, and they hating. They just see a kute girl with long hair and wanna "bring her down a notch on their level". I wouldn't do that ish. Nobody but me has control over my actions.

I second that!! - it is a blatant form of hazing. I am so sorry for the sister (s)that went through this!!! It is most definitely HATIN'!!!! I wish the aspirants knew that they could report this and not let these actions define any Sorority as those in the Divine Nine know this is not indicative of sisterhood! That is why so many of our fraternities/sororities are on probation on campuses because of stupid ish like this!

 

[cupcakes]

sororities = pure stupidity

 

[Priss Pot]

sororities = pure stupidity

Seriously?




Anyway, I wouldn't dare cut my hair for a sorority, and I'm in one. I'd quickly give somebody the "trick please" look if they suggested it.

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

sororities = pure stupidity

uh oh! girl! ​

 

[OhmyKimB]

There is nothing that I EVER want to be a part of so bad. Army, sorority nothing. Unless it's a requirement to get into heaven, they can kick rocks

 

[OhmyKimB]

sororities = pure stupidity

= you are about to get cussed out....them sorority ppl tear folks to shreds who aren't the slightest bit interested or against them......










Not that sometimes I look at the girls at my school and wonder

Girl, I know that's right. I almost got into a physical altercation with a GUY over his fraternity. A lot of times, (at least on my campus) when you offer an opinion contrary to a sorrority or fraternities, you'd better be ready to get it poppin'!!! But I', a Brooklyn girl, so I held my own

 

[Almaz]

Yeah someone tried this mess with me at university. I did not pledge it was NOT that serious. The East Africans started out own group and left those crazy chicks alone. And Most of these chicks that were so gung ho on me cutting my hair had 3 strands of hair on their heads themselves. I was like even if I cut it it will STILL grow back long like before and you will STILL have 3 strands of hair on your heads because you manhandle it. Now what.

 

[OhmyKimB]

. If I have to go through all that just to prove myself screw em and that's exactly what I told my siblings.

She was really nice about it but continued to persistantly tell me how much more fulfilled my life would be as an AKA and that "many doors would be opened" as a result of my association. And I'm thinking opened to where?

Spare me all the parks that come with being a soror (not meaning to be offensive) but I work in white corporate america and they don't care what historically black sorority you came from.

Sorry to cut up your post, but I was just arguing with the new girl at my job about this, I didn't ask what she was and I could care this much. I'm networking now for my accounting postion. Now the dominate sorority in my church doesn't even have any connects that would help me but still ask me if I consider joining. My friend that goes joined and they were shocked that she did and I did not.

I have no interest..my mood and interests change depending on the day of the week. And I don't see a group opening any doors for me that I'm not working to open, praying about, or finding the person with the key.

And the last is very very true...white corporate America could care two sheets to the wind about some historical black sorority.

Also with the doors, we are all black women and need to be opening the doors for each other...not some chick you never saw before just because she's part of some group with you.

Yeah...until my friends joined a sorority (non black) I thought they were scum...and then I had to play nice.

I don't understand why this was necessary. Who is REALLY going to cuss her out? Sometimes it seems that people just WANT drama to pop off, which is why comments like these are usually made erplexed

No one is losing sleep over anyone's opinions. For every negative opinion of a sorority, there's a positive one to counteract it. So why someone would cuss her out in a hair thread is beyond me.

Ok cuss me out then...


Im not the slightest bit interested in sorority people so i guess one of them is gonna come through my computer and "tear me to shreds" because i stated that.


lol

 

[growth2come]

Nope I dont think I would. Ask me to do a 1000 star jumps or something but lets not even entertain the idea of me cutting my hair to please a bunch of girls. Nope!!!

 

[SmartyPants]

I definitely would have to say NO. But I personally don't have a good taste in my mouth when it comes to greek orgs. On the otherhand it is "just hair" and it will grow back...hopefully.

One of my good friends had a sister who pledged and they put peanut butter, eggs, ketchup, etc in her hair and she couldn't get the peanut butter out so she had to cut her wasitlengh hair to APL, it's never really gotten back to where it was.

I would have been beating somebody's a$$ that night!

 

[Dogmd]

WAISTLENGTH!!!!???

yes.. i will never forget that. that was way before i was into hair. mine was mid back, but hers was 3c and silky. i was like "are u crazy". she kept on saying that it would grow back, but i still could not believe that the girl cut it all of freshman year. her mom was livid. her boyfriend was not very happy either.

 

[varaneka]

no longer want to join a sorority lol

my school has two organizations that are plenty sisterly for me

 

[PikiNiki]

I probably would have tried to get a sew-in weaved bob. (Even though I don't really like weave) to trick them. My line was all about finding a way around things. Some times it worked out for us, sometimes it didn't.

That's so strange. My big sisters were so busy making sure we all got our hair done for our probate/neophyte show. They wanted our hair swinging!
I have heard of big sisters making people take their weave out or not wear make-up while they were online.

My big sisters were even on us all the time about how we looked on campus while we were online. They said it was so obvious who the Deltas were gonna be because we looked a HOT MESS. At one point we were not allowed to wear buns anymore. I guess each sorority and each chapter are different. I went to a small school and people were always trying to figure out who was online. Girls who used to keep themselves together who were now looking a mess and falling asleep in class were usually online. It was so obvious, but the campus rules were that it was supposed to be kept secret until the show.

I almost thought that we could've been from the same chapter until you said that you went to a small school.My BSL hair became so damaged from the "process", that once I crossed, I had to get it cut to bob length anyway.

OKAY!!!!!!!!!
OKAY!!!!!!!!!
