What do I LIKE about being Greek? I like my house. That's about it. I wouldn't even have stayed at this school except for my brothers. I'd like Greek Life to be better, but just maintaining mediocrity is an uphill battle.
hey justamom, sounds like you've been here. we still have streakers, the bane of the campus tour guides, and thanks to inflation GDI's get charged $5 instead of $2, but it's pretty much the same thing.
Recruitment is the bane of my existence- we do everything right, and get no results. We dorm storm, we go to dorm parties, we talk up all our friends and everyone in our classes, we get girls to talk us up....and every semester the same reaction: yeah, you're great guys, and it'd be fun, but I really have to concentrate on my schoolwork. I hear that 300 times a semester. I said it in another thread- people here don't want to do the rah rah college thing. They live in a dorm for two years, then an apartment for two years. They go home on the weekends. They don't go to football games. Greeks aren't the only ones with recruitment problems- there are now about 100 students clubs, with about 400 members among them. Ten years ago we could boast double that, and I'm told in the 70's it was even higher. People just aren't joiners anymore, I don't know why.
