Sorry to break in here, I did not go through I-week, but I was a legacy and my mother, the ever-proper Southern sorority girl, had a few unbreakables, some of which were:
1. No gum-chewing
ever.
2. Do not smoke in public, but especially walking down a street.
3. Do not reapply makeup at the table.
4. Always bring a hostess gift.
5. Thank-you notes are a
must.
6. Always stop one drink before you think you need to.
and, 7. Vulgar language denotes a vulgar upbringing.
Some are pretty dated and a little funny....(I chew gum on occasion and have been known to let an f-bomb fly), but most are so instilled in me, they are simply second nature.
I think your public actions send a message about your inner quality and when you represent a group, you better think doubly hard about how every decision affects both you and your org.
Thanks for letting be butt in.
