Don Henley (Eagles) coined a phrase , "Graceless age." Yes, I think we are living a graceless age.
When civility is replaced with "in your face" attitudes, and our interaction with others is crude, offensive or down right violent, it makes me think people are turning into skuzz balls...
Yes, there will always be rivalry and most of the actions/deeds
discussed on GC are NOT new-they have been happening for YEARS. Yet, it just seems we are seeing new and lower lows.
What the hell! James, you and I have been in agreement lately and this is no exception. It's very hard to prove a dirty rush infraction. The best revenge on anyone is living and doing well. My advice to you is to out perform them.
archangel689 my daughter had a similar experience at a Greek Retreat last year. The only difference was this young "lady" from another sorority made comments about other sororities in front of some other GLOs (male and female). Well, she got hers from a very nice Acacia!
If we allow one GLO to knock down another, we perpetuate the
situation and it makes the whole system weak. If you see it happening, call the perpetrator on it! If you do it...STOP!
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age ?
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
Doesn't keep me warm
