Rocketgirl, I'm not taking this personally but I can't seem to stress enough that it was an open election. I ran against other people, 4 to be exact.People were nominated. They didn't have to vote for me. The DoS didn't even know I was running till after I got elected. He leaves that type of business to us. More than 50% of 9 of the fraternities on campus's reps elected Me.If each org. has 2 people as reps, and I got over 50%, they had 2 weeks between nominations and elections..they must have just cared as to who would do the best job and not what letters i wear across my chest.
As for pledged that was an english department choice. not a DoS. Some idiot thought that it was a good way of showing college life. The greeks on my campus have been fighting it, but honestly..it hasn't caused us a problem. We go to the comp classes reading and talk about how the book is not truely accurate. Greek Membership is up since it's been required so maybe they are just reading the cliffnotes.
