My posts are usually either negative, or silly- but in real life, unless I have a problem or I'm making a joke, I'm very quiet, so it's all consistent. Tonight they're negative, because a number of things happened at school that have me angry and frustrated. And it's worse because now I need to put a smile on my face and a song in my heart and tell my brothers it's all gonna be OK.
Tonight is just bad. You want constructive? I helped organize Greek Week. I'm helping to organize IFC rush. I made the Greek Life web site. I drive out to school every weekend to help renovate the house. But I'm sick of watching it all go to pot because of other people. I'm sick of being the one going "No, we cannot have a keg at the charity carwash". And I'm not the only one- you haven't been scared until you've seen the NPC advisor start screaming "I hate this school!" Poor thing, she came to us from OU all idealistic.
My own house....you're right, I don't talk about them much. There are times when I love them to death, because they work hard and do the right things. But there are other times....we have the worst grades of any fraternity- and that's a tough thing to pull around here. We always have several guys on probation for grades. We don't work hard enough on recruitment. There's a fair bit of infighting. But at the end of the day, I'm very happy with the house I joined. I don't have any problems with my house that need discussing with outsiders.
And as for our sororities....sorry, but the NPC girls I've dealt with were not of the kind of caliber I'd expect. There are exceptions to the rule, as with anything, and those women are treasures, and I love our local sorority, they're a great group, but......the sum of my experiences with them tells me they're not the sort of people I'd like to have dealings with. Doesn't say a thing about you or your sisters, or any other sororities anywhere, it's just how I feel about things here.
