That's just it...I do. In fact, I have many friends in my graduate program. I have friends from when I was in another graduate program, as well. I have friends from the military and friends from my time as an undergrad (who aren't Greek). I have friends from work and everything else. Some of my closest friends are NOT my sisters. I was really annoyed by that. I'm busy with school and work. I feel like my conversations always revolve around my career or what's going on in school. I'm not close with any of my hs friends because we've all taken different paths but, that one friend from hs...well, I think she just used it as an excuse. This friend just recently broke up with her boyfriend but, I felt it was very passive aggressive to just delete me. I was shocked. I enjoy my involvement and I love meeting other Greeks (even if they aren't in my GLO). It's a way to spark a conversation. I'm proud of the community service we do. I wear my badge with pride, even if it isn't Founder's Day because it's beautiful. I wear it for other special things like my birthday, and what not. I still wear my letters (usually leaving the stiched letters for inside my home for bed and studying) but, I have other items with letters or crests. Is that wrong? I love the thread about running into other Greeks and I sometime hope that someone stops me to talk about my lettered bag or whatever. I'm sorry. I'm just really hurt by this.
