There are a couple of things that irritate me in general, but can't particularly be blamed on Sigma. Here is an example:
Just last night I was talking to some people that I went to high school with, one of which also attends the same college I decided on....We were just talking about random college stuff and I offhandedly mentioned something about 'one of my sisters'. All of them that have known me since high school were like
YOU'RE IN A SORORITY??
So I asked what was wrong with it, why is surprised them, why they looked at me that way, etc (all in curiousness, I wasn't rude or anything).
What was the answer I got?? That they were the general population ... not anti-greek, but not involved in the greek community.. And the majority of their comments were along the lines of 'Wow, you've changed a lot.. I never thought you'd be involved in ANYTHING like that??'... 'Is it a strictly Christian organization?'...'You're pretty crazy, do you get flack for it?'.. 'Has one of YOUR sisters ever slapped YOU in the face?'..
Granted, I could sell a snow ball to an eskimo - - I'm very persuasive and a good talker... So after I got done ranting about how I'm not a stereotype, I'm a person, I likened the show to being a same sex Real World... then they all were just kind of like
"Oh, that makes more sense".
Simply because they had no prior knowledge of greek-ness, they assumed what was on that show to be true. Sigma could be any other org...it could be Nu Mu Upsilon Lambda Sigma Order of the Omega for all I care, but BOO MTV for making it look the way they are making it look!!!
So I say enough of the Sigma bashing, let's hear some more of the MTV Bashing!! Because as you've all heard before, and it still stands true, NO MATTER THE LETTER, WE'RE ALL GREEK TOGETHER.
