Wondering Why...... Sometimes it may seem like the greeks are being mean but alot of times it is just like you said alot of info is right out there under our noses and some of the most asked questions are readily accessible. If one is truly interested in whichever xyz greek org one will take the time out to do research on their own. It shows sincerity i believe, when you have taken the time to look for the answer to all of your questions yourself. I would have to wonder exactly how much one wants to be apart of a particular greek org. when one knows nothing about it. Also being a prospective myself, I think that alot of us worry to much about things such as pledge processes etc. when really as PROSPECTIVES our biggest focus should be on our G.P.A and our comm service, and if we make it to the point of "pledging" so to speak then, we can start worrying about it and at the same time there are alot of things that are not acccessible to us and those are things that we should not worry about unless we cross!........Then some greeks may come of as mean because alot of us approach them asking them questions without even saying hello or asking their name as if they do not exist as individuals, I am sure some of them just wish that people would want to get to know THEM and not just want to always know about their org. Lastly maybe if someone has come of as rude to you or anyone else maybe they were just having a bad day and maybe it had nothing to with the fact that you were asking about their org. Maybe they just did not want to be bothered at that moment by anyone and if you approached them the next day they might be nicer. I am in know way trying to make excuses for those that are rude just for no reason I am just trying to give people some insight on what they may have just MISTOOK as being rude. I mean there may be someone out there that is rude to prospectives or that thinks they are better for whatever reason and obviously they are going through their own insecurities but for the most part I think it is safe to say that most greeks are not this way. So the next time you or anyone else thinks about approaching a greek weigh out the situation and be friendly and sincere in your approach and if you feel they are being rude give them the benefit of the doubt and by all means try again another day or ask someone else, but what ever you do do not get discouraged in your quest. remember that they were all once prospectives too, so for the most part they know how you feel, and if everything goes your way you will one day be greek and then you will get a chance to know how they feel. MUCH LOVE TO ALL YALL!
