I hate to "hi-jack" this list, but I must say this something I have quoted to the undergraduate students many times. I have had students ask me to get out of assignments because they were "Greek" and since many of them knew I was Greek (I had my GLOs letters all over my desk); they justified/excused their tardiness with their assignments by saying, "But you remember how busy you were when you where in the sorority..." (By the way...for other women or men wanting to attempt this, may I warn you that this is NOT how you make friends with your professor/lecturer!) Anyway...my reply was always, "You came to college to learn how to think, NOT join a sorority/fraternity".
Thanks for this advice. I hope all women and men remember that their EDUCATION should be their top priority!!!
