...because they chose me! Basically Gamma Phi could have cared less that I was in ROTC -- they seemed actually proud! I was embarassed to admit being in ROTC in nearly all the other houses when I went thru rush. But at Gamma Phi, I just never felt ashamed about who I was. I later learned as a pledge that service to country is actually part of our object:
Object of Gamma Phi Beta
The object of this organization shall be to develop the highest type of womanhood through education, social life, and service to country and humanity.
Oh, the Gamma Phis also never seemed fazed that I was a band geek either.
Bottom line: I really felt at home in Gamma Phi!
