Where Did We Go Wrong?

Black UF Twitter was on and poppin' yesterday,  for probably the first and last time this semester. A guy on Twitter had his mentions blow up after he dropped a comment that might have been insulting to some NPHC organizations. And you know them ninjas can be sensitive. UF Black Twitter was a movie, and we had the popcorn ready.

It all started when some old Alpha was either bored or had just returned from an uneventful Gainesville where he got no play, and proceeded to comment about how UF just wasn't the same anymore, as it was "Back In My Days". We've heard this one before. Here we go again.

It really wouldn't have been a big deal, as everyone is always quick to say Gainesville sucks as soon as they graduate after their 5-6 year career here, but where buddy really fucked up was the second part of his message. Homeboy went on to say that besides only two sororities, the AKAs and the Deltas (Probably his two favorite), everybody else just wanted to throw parties and do nothing. Oh Shit. You can't just name two of the sororities in the council as good and decent, when there are only 4 sororities total. That leaves things wide open to interpretation. What you trying to say?

As sororities are never one to take any insults, directly, perceived or otherwise subtweeted, well at all, Black Greek Twitter exploded, and all those other "party organizations", but namely the Zetas, came out of the woodwork enraged. The movie was on! The Deltas didn't really care because most of them were celebrating some kind of anniversary and the AKAs were chilling because they had already been praised.

It's Zeta Week anyway so the timing couldn't have been worse. The Zetas are out doing shit during their week and buddy BASICALLY said the Zetas weren't doing shit, sort of. Ooops.

We missed the whole damn thing writing that long ass post about how Khia was half naked violating our school colors, draping them over a body that passed its prime a few hundred years ago.  We basically came to the movie theater when the credits were already running.

The Zetas, most of the older ones, came out, mouths foaming, and that "Greek Unity" stuff the NPHC talks about was quickly incinerated in about 2 tweets. There were some hilarious insults thrown, relating back to the guilty Alpha's time at school when apparently the only thing he showed up to was his own organizations parties, and how "You don't want this work!" & "Don't talk about a council you're not even a part of!" Bang Bang!

The Sigmas quickly jumped in, because you know they got that whole Blue Brady Bunch type deal going on, and came to keep the show going. And you know the Sigmas don't care about anything in life, so they were letting the ratchet tweets fly. "Blue & White Weekend donates tons of money to charity, so kindly shut your broke ass up", was probably the best one.

The audience was growing, and we finally threw some tweets out there, maybe to instigate some shit for the lulz, maybe not. But as our best friend said, this was probably the most action UF Black Twitter would see all semester, so we had to let it ride. Then various other old Greeks we never knew came on Twitter and started talking about how the old Alphas were so great "Back in my day..."., and this new Alpha was acting up, and don't talk about my organization...blah, blah, blah. This was like near the middle of the day. Don't yall niggas have jobs?

Finally, every other organization went on to pub their upcoming community service events all over Twitter, which might have been homeboy's plan all along. Nobody knows.

The most baffling, and probably hilarious thing is that homeboy said everybody is throwing parties all the time. Really, nigga? Where!?! He was obviously out of touch. We're in a drought right now. But who really cares? Most of these organizations don't promote their community services events on Twitter because they aren't dependent on attendance like parties are. They just do them. Regular people don't go to those community services events anyway. Not unless we are trying to join said organization :). We're supposed to spend our Saturday off school and work to go read to some illiterate underprivileged children on the bad side of Gainesville? Nah, not unless we get in the newspaper. Let the Greeks do it, that's what they are supposedly founded upon anyway, at least that's what they tell us right before they say "Do Your Homework".

The sorority buddy left out, the Zetas probably do throw the best parties out of all the sororities, but aint nobody complaining about that. Come Saturday at that pool party, watch how many ninjas be out there looking parched as fuck waiting to see some blue bikinis. We'll be right there with them. If the NPHC organizations are not doing what they are supposed to be doing, shouldn't they be discussing that in NPHC meetings? Just let UF Black Twitter be the safe haven where we can all ridicule LL Cool J and Ray J on their terrible song creations.
