I'll answer because I have answered this question before on here.
Okay you pledged. The problem is you pledged in auxiliary. I put you in the same category of people who pledge band or whatever new thing people are pledging. Ask yourself this question, what advantages do you get after leaving school? Is there a network of Sigma "Souls" (That's a new one if you are referring to my fraternity; Phi Beta Sigma) that you can connect with? Can you put your organization on your resume when submitting paperwork for a job(fresh out of undergrad that is)? Are you incorporated? Can people make tax-deductible donations to your organization? What changes can you implement in your community with that one greek letter? Can your organization operate independently from the organization that created you? If your answer is no to any of these questions and more, you wasted your time.
I will say this in your defense, a lot of us (myself included) in undergrad have misplaced euphoria when it comes to crossing the burning sands. Yet we were all young and we chalk it up to youth. I mean, I'll be honest when the Brothers told me the real work begins after crossing, it went in one ear and out the other. Wasn't until after the Neo adrenaline juice wore off when I realized being a Sigma is a lot of work....especially on a small college campus (Couldn't hide behind a line of 10-15 LB's). You are not gonna have that problem, because there isn't anything waiting for you except parties (that we allow you to go to), clubs (that may or may not respect you depends on their mood), and kicking it (Fill in the blanks). That will last only for so long until you are the old news and the new gullible freshman is convinced to do it. That's why we talk and we laugh at all. At least with our own we laughing because we know they don't know the work that is ahead for them. For you, you are holding on and "repping" hard for something that we can take away from you when we feel like it.
Just some two cents real talk. |
