Matthew, first and foremost...let me be the first to welcome you to GreekChat!!! That may have been your first post, but I have to admit, it was definitely an encouraging one filled with great advice. It doesn't matter if you've been Greek for a few weeks...two years...or even decades. Your length of membership doesn't determine how much admiration you have for the system as a whole...and it's this brother/sisterhood that makes me so proud to be Greek.

The reason why I love this thread so much is that we actually get to see history in the making. I feel like this thread gives me a glimpse of how it might've been like for all our beloved Founders when they were forming our respective organizations.
