SPINOFF: GDI or aspirant?

I was reading through some of the older and newer threads, and I was thinking about the use of the term "GDI". As PGPeripheryGirl expressed in another thread, some people view the term as harsh. I understand what the terms means (even though it is somewhat all-encompassing), and what the stereotypes that surround it are, but I was wondering {TO THE GREEKS.. ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS}... IS THERE EVER A POINT WHEN A GDI BECOMES AN ASPIRANT? ***DISCLAIMER: You are NOT obligated to respond. I was just hoping for some feedback***

My questions for you are: When is an aspirant not a GDI? Are all GDIs aspirants? Would an Kappa call an Alpha Aspirant a GDI or an Aspirant?

close enough tho..we all know its a aspirant either way...so OH WELL. and to add. Ive heard the GDI term a number of times, but have only read it on this site. In the things I have read I never read it anywhere else. Interetee/Individual...SAME DAMN THING. :roll eyes:

I've heard referred it to as : GD Ignorant GD Individual GD Imbecile GD Interestee (the nicest... by far.. also the rarest) IMO a GDI can be ANYONE and EVERYONE who is not greek. When is an aspirant not a GDI? I'm still working on it... I understand that it is a term that may not come into play when it is a specific org, and the GDI in question would be seeking membership in said org... However, I'mma be back w/ a better answer once I understand more... I don't wanna come incorrect. Are all GDIs aspirants? NO... not everyone desires Greek Life, nor is everyone cut out for it. Would an Kappa call an Alpha Aspirant a GDI or an Aspirant? With the point that I think you are trying to get at, I'd assume not. I think I understand that rationale.

Dont forget GD Idiot... I wouldn't see being called a GD Individual as an insult or anything... sounds like a compliment to me..

GDI and prospect are basically the same thing. we also refer to GDI's as people who are not greek...even if they have no intrest in greek life. Now being that Im an AKA if i wanted to talk about some one who wanted to join a sorority other than mine...lets say she wanted to be a delta and i KNEW that she wanted to be a delta i would simply say "thats a delta PROSPECT" if i wasnt sure what she wanted to be or if she didnt want to be ANYTHING she would simply be a GDI. If that was a bit confusing I would break it down like this: lets say there is a girl named ...Jane Doe when speaking in a literal sense i would say JANE If i was talking about her like i really didnt care I would say HER/SHE lets equate "JANE" to the term "delta prospect" and "HER/SHE" to the term GDI. the term GDI is more general. DID THAT HELP?
