I just wanted to hop on here before you guys saw the video I want to thank you guys so much for subscribing to my channel thank you so much for the new followers that I have on my Twitter and my Instagram my god it’s gonna be poppin
But my Twitter y’all it’s a desert I barely get on there but thank you so much and thank you to all the people that reach out to me I’m sorry if I haven’t responded it’s only because I’m trying to make videos about what you asked me about so if I like your message
Most likely I screenshot it because you know I’m trying to mentally keep it you know whatever and I’m also trying to like make videos about it because I want Greek myths to be like a tradition I wanted to do I want to do it like every
Every December now i’ma try to make this fool Greek myths this food month of December all Greek videos but I tend to feel like I talk about the same thing over and over again because I feel like Greek life is very limited and you can only talk so much about certain things
If you knew a lot about other organizations I can only speak for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and my experiences and you know it’s not worth the whole month especially if I did last year’s month to you get me anyways so we’re just gonna hop right into the video
I’m just for disclaimer purposes I am NOT saying that all aks are paper I am just trying to get y’all attention so you can say days clickbait you could say that you could definitely say that but you clicked on it anyways I just want to get you guys attention start off this
Greek myths video strong and happy you know I’m saying high energy up in here but this video I will be talking about paper versus made the difference between the two okay so without further ado we’re just gonna hop right into the video I hope you guys enjoy my intro
All right guys um we’re just gonna start with the easiest thing which is paper no I’m just kidding so basically paper is where you sign a piece of paper and you basically say I am officially a part of this organization okay and luckily to one of my servers that I
Have recently known or recently got a chance to meet we’ve been knowing each other over a little over a year now love her to death talk to her almost every single day she actually shared with me that she was paper or she pledged paper and she allowed me to use
Her as like my example for paper and then also have another server that is like literally everything to me absolutely everything to me she’s an older woman she pledged um she pledged okay but she also pledged you know not paper but she’s made she’s made and I
Wanted to do like a younger example and an older example just so you guys can get a feel for you know just how they went about telling me their story how they share information with me how they spoke what they what they think now paper and made is and all that other
Jazz I would not be sharing these ladies names and I would not be sharing their chapters just because I have confidentiality purposes the girl who was paper definitely said like I don’t really care you can share it but actually the lady that was that’s made or whatever she actually told me like no
Don’t share anything but you could definitely you know use me as like your muse or whatever and I’m like don’t share it anyways so yeah so paper is basically where you sign a paper and you basically say hey I’m officially a part of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
Incorporated so when I was talking to my server she basically told me like hey you know the way that it happened for me is that her line sisters and her we’re supposed to pledge for three to four months of just pledging learning information etc and then the last month
It’s strictly getting ready to prepare for your probate now for that whole three to four months you are learning information or at least you should be learning information about your organization you’re getting prepared you know getting quizzed or whatever on all of your information for your specific
Organization and then the last month is where everybody comes together after they met during business hours to basically you know put the probate all into one so for her she did not be with them for the three to four months I’m trying to say it as best as possible
Because I don’t want to like also speak for the organization to where I’m getting the organization in trouble and I definitely don’t want to offend anybody else but basically she didn’t she wasn’t with them for those three to four months but the last month she was with them right before the probate so
The month of the probate is when she was with them and she basically they basically got information their guy they got everything that they needed to to get or whatever to basically prepare for the presentation that was coming up that month and to her she said it turned out successful obviously her prophytes
They were not the nicest to her she felt like she was left out obviously um and if you acting like okay well why didn’t she do it why didn’t she go through with it her main reason was school was the most important thing to her but she also
Wanted to follow and her family’s footsteps so every woman and her family is an aka and obviously her being a legacy she I don’t I don’t want it I’m definitely not saying that she you know glide right through or whatever or glit she didn’t slide right through
She didn’t slide right through it all she’s a very hardworking woman but she was in she was preparing for medical school and in order to go to medical school or have the easier route to medical school you have to go through um like a medical it’s kind of like a
Nursing program but not for nurses but like that’s the best way that I can put it and she was in that program which is very selective only a few people get into that program and she was not about to play with her grades if it came down
To choosing between a K or going to medical school and her main thing was like I’m getting into Medical School this is the main thing for me but I also want to be a part of a K because of what it stands for and because of my family
History with it so I need to do this as well but I’m gonna do it the way that I want to do it and she didn’t feel like you know her pro fights weren’t as you know I guess excuse me I’m sorry I guess it’s nice to her because
Obviously you know a lot of people feel like okay you didn’t work for these letters you just signed the paper for me you just you know coming out on top daughter let it out and then she also unfortunately told me that she was um kind of like not blacklisted but
Blackballed when she tried to go for organ it I mean for positions in the organization she wanted to run for you know high positions to you know basically make her resume also look good and also do stuff for the organization but the girls were like no your paper no
Like they would give her like um little tasks or like little positions where she wouldn’t have to do as much work so the only thing that she would be doing it’s coming to you know the meetings coming to the parties coming to you know stuff like that helping setting up but also
She was very busy she worked she was in that program for like her medical school and then she also was working so she had a lot on her plate so she ultimately felt like she didn’t the way she the way she described us for me and I don’t want
To speak for her but the way she described it to me is that she didn’t have the opportunity to show them that she could have done better for the organization and plus she’d be a pledge when she was a senior so it was literally only that next semester cuz
She pledged during the fall she only had the spring semester to be like okay like hey you know I want to help out with the organization but due to the the pettiness that she experienced um she felt like she couldn’t really you know show her so or prove herself so then she
Decided after she graduated that she would join the chapter that her mother was a part of and now she’s doing so much for the organization like every time I see her Instagram story she’s posting about it I’m posting about events that her graduate chapter that
She’s a part of is having an event this day or that day which I’m actually going to one of her events it’s like a coat drive held by all the what is it all the chapters like sororities and fraternities chapters on their campus so
I’m a film that as well for you guys but that’s basically what paper is um and that’s her experience of being paper now the next thing is made and then I’m sure I’ll show you guys my opinion of like what what I feel like the whole beef or
Whatever it is is between them too because of you know people being stupid but so the older lady that I had spoke to she’s actually a part of a graduate chapter right now and she oversees my undergraduate chapter of the university that she currently it’s like not working
At but you know she does a lot for and she’s one of my mentors and she basically pledged imma say the year she pledged she pledged in 2000 okay and she basically had to go through all the love the experience and the joy of getting these three letters in a way that
Everybody would respect her for and then along with the last month that the other young lady did she ended up at swellow signing a paper saying i’m officially a part of this organization so basically the whole thing of like made is to go through the love and the joy and all of
That to feel like you worked for something and then you can finally put your name on a piece of paper and say i’m officially a part of this organization after i put my blood sweat and tears into joining and i don’t know if you guys ever noticed but if you hear
Like in sororities and fraternities chants we say blood sweat and tears some of us say blood sweat and tears into our chance because the mindset of being made it’s like I’m working hard like I’m doing everything I possibly can to be a part of this organization so I can
Proudly wear these letters and look people in the eye and say like I’m a part of this organization just like you and I worked my ass off to get there and yeah so basically the the young lady or the the woman that I had spoke to she
She actually had a longer loved time her time was a full semester and then she didn’t present to the campus until the spring of 2000 which is I feel like back then it was praised to go through that love and that journey of getting the
Letters but now I feel like a lot of people on certain campuses they have they don’t have a lot of people and they want to get the line out as soon as possible because if they don’t have the people the chapter will die on the campus and that’s what I’d be telling
Y’all like y’all don’t we y’all don’t need us we need y’all so an organization will not be able to so my chapter that I was a part of undergraduate chapter if nobody wanted to join aka that chapter would die and that chapter is already very small the
Top high chapter of the University of Illinois Springfield that chapter is very small so if nobody wanted to pledge we wouldn’t have anybody like we wouldn’t have anybody because half the girls are supposed to graduate or about to graduate soon so once they leave it’s nobody there you know I’m saying ain’t
The mindset or the the goal is to have your profile people that have seen people pledged been through pledging and can oversee pledging to basically keep the chapter alive and to make sure that we have the people but a lot of people dislike paper people pledges because
They just they just pay it and they signed and they you know are walking around a lot of paper people say I made I mean that I um and a lot of many people don’t care you know I’m saying cuz like once that experience all that
Love is done with you don’t want that much love again you know what I’m saying you know like and that’s just not even enough funny stuff it’s just like you go through all that love and you you become you become another person and it’s unfortunate that you know a lot of the
People that do Pledge paper that are on the same line as people who pledge or who like are made get treated differently when we’re supposed to be a part of the same organization and it was so it was so interesting and it was so like genuine rewarding that
The the girl that I had talked to that is paper one of my servers she basically you know it was like yeah because like honestly like once I knew that you had a youtube channel you talked about Greek life I thought you were gonna judge me
If I told you I was paper because the way that you speak you talk like you’re made and I never got on here publicly and say yeah I’m paper or yeah I made because I don’t feel like when I don’t feel like is nobody’s business but my own and to its it’s not
Serious because at the at the end of the day regardless of whatever I went through or whatever whatever idea to get my letters or whatever I had to sign to get my letters we’re still a part of the same organization so why should I judge you when you’re wearing the exact same
Letters I am regardless of how you got it regardless of what you did to get it I respect you because you’re a part of my organization and you’re my server you feel me and I’m not gonna look down on you because you in a different way of
Getting your letters than I did and that’s just that on that and I feel like it’s sad because a lot of aks that I have ran into or met look down on you if you don’t know you know certain words or certain lingo so like in the Midwest
That’s where you know where I met the Midwest versus the down south area has to like like the phrases that people use and I’m being completely blown mature and completely transparent and i’ma let y’all go I was at it was when I first pledged when I first like it was a month
After our first pledge and I was with my friend we went to wing stop and the guy that was ringing me out he was an alpha and he was like ray me out and stuff like that and he was taking my order and then I came took my order I had on my
Aka a lion jacket and cuz you know I was I was an EO I was like I’m wearing this everywhere I want everybody know I’m a make a I was an EO everybody does it so he asked me I think took my order he asked me he’s like
When’s your birthday and I’m like I know Wing Stop ain’t got no goddamn reward system so what the is you acting from my number4 or like I know when just I ain’t got like I’m not signed up for no Wingstop credit card like which were actually for my birthday for it so I’m
Telling my birthday I’m like April 7th 1997 and at the time like nobody told me cuz he plans down south I played Mitch Midwest now a lot of Midwest people may know this but I’m gonna be completely honest with Charlie I didn’t know this and nobody on my
Nobody before my line taught us this so when he asked my birthday I talked to my real birthday he was like no what’s your birthday and he was being serious I’m like I was like oh I was like boy would sue what you’re talking about I
Was like I just said my birthday bro like what are you talking about and he was just like no your birthday is what every day that you pledged I’m like what oh hey like and he was just like oh no like you know what did you play a J
And I was like University of Illinois Springfield of Tai Chi chapter I thought the cops already incorporated you know a lot of people would try to trick you and be like what you planned you and if you don’t be quick with that or you started with you dig like you’re lying like cuz
You know like you just got it like and I was just automatically like talk on chapter that I forgot I’m sorry incorporated of the University of Illinois Springfield chapter and like that’s you know just so you can know like I know I know what I’m talking
About so I had to be quick with it and I was like what they never taught me that he was like nah you know if I was wearing these regular outfit I would have had to take your stuff sis I was like and excuse my legs I was like even
Gonna take from me like boy what and it’s just like that’s how different it is like a lot of and a lot of people that I asked even my pledge dad like I asked him cuz I was just like cuz at the time I wasn’t I wasn’t really talking to
Any of the girls that I had pledged with and I wasn’t talking to the girls that had you know brought me in because they were fake but that’s beside the point I had asked my pleasure and I asked like some of my mentors that were aks and even mentors
That weren’t aks that was a tiss like my boss that was a Dirac’s my my trimming coach I was data I asked people that was a part of organization I was like is this is this what happens like is this what they say and a lot of people
Because they were from Midwest plants completely different chapters completely different organizations they all said no who said stuff like that but and I asked my friend who was an outfit we was in the same group chat and we were both planning on going to the Atlantic picnic
Being or whatever and we like started talking through there and he told me yeah like they access there all the time but he’s down south he’s in Mississippi so for him it was norm for him to hear that lingo but for me I was like what because I don’t teach you
That so that’s why I just I don’t really take it seriously when people be like I used to I said no that she’s supposed to know that but like your complete your your your pledging to different in two different places to different chapters to different areas you know I’m saying
All that you’re pledging by two different types of people they gonna leave stuff out everybody’s not gonna get everything right so when it when people are a part of Greek life that take it so seriously I’ll just be laughing like but you learnt that but you also have to be mindful that I
Didn’t learn that and just because I didn’t learn this you didn’t learn what I learned either but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna look down on you and you shouldn’t look down on me you feel me so that’s basically how I feel about paper versus made I don’t feel like it’s a big
Deal I feel like if you’re if we wearing the same letters regardless of how you got it how I got mine you should still respect me you shouldn’t look down at me because at the end of the day I’m your server or if I was a boy I’m your
Brother you feel me like that like we’re supposed to be uplifting each other especially as black people were supposed to be uplifting each other and it really bugs me that grief shenanigans is a thing even though it’s like friendly fun and laughs but ultimately we are making
Fun of people who are doing their probates and they wig my slip or they might fall or you know something might happen or they’re wearing something that doesn’t look normal to other people because you feel like you can’t pull it off so you got to make fun of this one
Like as I saw this Delta video I’m sorry real quick I thought this Delta video or this girl who was wearing these leather red pants with this big furry or like whatever red top and I’m not a delta at all but I got offended because it was
Her sorors in the comments and some of us or us being petty in the comments saying stuff about her even the dudes and it just be like you a ho boy and that’s your whole server and you’re talking about her you’re laughing at her you’re making fun of her you know I’m
Saying I feel like it’s black people yes it’s all laughs and it’s funny but it’s not funny when it’s you you feel me so like don’t don’t be petty you know I’m saying especially not to your own kind we already got white people Asian and Hispanics and everybody else in the
World trying to get us out of here and we’re supposed to be uplifting and building each other up and I’m not trying to make a serious to where people be like dang guess you can’t even have fun like I definitely have fun I’ll be laughing at some of that stuff I do but
When it was one when it was my deltas like like I’m saying my daughter’s because they’re my home deltas like from my undergraduate chapter when I was a part of my undergraduate chapter at UIs when I saw the girls from my school that were a part of Delta that were own greed
Shenanigans I got offended by that and no I’m not a delta but at the same time that’s my home team you not gonna make fun of them because I know some of them and you not gonna make fun of them you know I’m saying and it was just like it
Was embarrassing to see my home team on there regardless if they’re not aks you know I’m saying now thank God mind my line and make my lighting you know game reached and anything is but at the same time that’s still my home team and that’s still my black people that I
Care about you feel me so that’s all I have to say I’m sorry to like get so serious about it but it is a very serious matter baby but yes so just just trying to be mine for you guys that if people are so concerned about paper and
May they probably either one of them okay and they probably they probably just just want to give people a hard time and they just got to come around to like it ain’t that goddamn serious it’s not even though it’s a serious matter but it’s not that serious you feel me
We’re all a part of the same community as black people and dd9 people because it’s not all black people there are nd9 organizations but at the same time like come on now we don’t have to do all this okay so yes I hope you guys enjoyed the
Video I’m not gonna edit it I’m gonna keep it like this and we’re just gonna upload it and if I say anything that may offend you or that was wrong I apologize please leave your comments down below but please be mindful to be respectful I’m definitely not trying to offend
