I am simply amazed at the whole concept. My Sorors and sister greeks have bottom lined this issue. The idea is ILLEGAL and SIMPLY BAD FORM
But looking at the HEART of this...WHY on earth would anyone believe that EVERY moment even in your "choice" Sorority or Fraternity for that matter will be pleasant? Who told you this was EASY? It's not. WE give a WHOLE lot of the selfish "i" up for the betterment of "WE".
These threads are really starting to get under my skin. I have been in my Sorority for almost 10 years...3/14/91 and no I am not posting my crossing time :P (its about to be ON!!!!!)Its becoming painfully clear that Greek life has really become a "fashion statement" to some and that hurts. I WORK HARD for my organization!
Before you do anything give some consideration to the long term implications of your actions. Its a fact Sorority life and Fraternity life is not for everyone.
For those new members who are feeling a little like "this is not what I wanted". My advice to you is your organization is for both your pruning and personal growth. Many have come before you. Let us honor our elders. And many will come after you. There will be many lessons to learn. Some lessons will plain HURT. While other lessons learned will give you the kind of pride and honor you will never ever experience outside of your sisterhood!
Fraudulently presenting yourself to another organization, is disrespectful to your original choice who obviously loved you, believed in you, TRUSTED you with his or her rituals, history, and traditions. It also defiles the code of ethics of the NPHC. It is a LOSE/LOSE situation. Perceived temporary selfish satisfaction will lead to something soooooooooo horrible, you will wish you were never greek.
I too know of a case where this happened. To be expelled TWICE AND be the object of ridicule, mockery, and potential harm by THOUSANDS of GREEKS is not a place ANY SANE person should knowingly go. Trust me, the NPHC is a very small world.
