God Dammit

I'm sorry, I may be in a bad mood already, but reading this just made that worse. And I gotta speak.


I'm fucking tired of this shit. All these random fucks think we do is party and haze. Do they EVER stop to think of the good things we do? Do they ever look at the fact that most Greeks raise tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity, and that we actually ENJOYED DOING IT? Do they look at the hours and hours of community service that we, ON OUR OWN FREE WILL AND CHOICE, do? Do they look at all the national charities we are affiliated with ? I myself am proud that Delta Sig works in conjunction with the March of Dimes, and so are MoDimes themselves.

I see our apathetic, selfish generation, and I see that, on my campus and I KNOW on others, that the Greeks are the proudest members of their student body and provide the most spirirt of their school. At SDSU, no one cheers for our sports teams, no one has Aztec Pride. We're all wrapped up with other, REAL controversial groups that want to remove traditions and pride by removing things off like mascots. The biggest sense of pride I've seen for Aztecs, have been the Greeks.

No. All they see are seperate cases of hazing that a small microcosm of stupid greeks have done. They see Stupid shit like the crap on MTV and think that that is the TRUE greek life. These people only look at what they WANT to look at, and make generalizations about it. They'll group ALL GLOs together an d ASSume what they want (I remember a band dork talking about how all Kappa Kappa Psi does is party and haze!!!!!) They will NEVER, EVER, understand what we, as greeks, and I mean every single facet of greek life from IFC to NPHC to Service/Business GLOs to Music GLOs, are REALLY about. There is a kinship and a bond that I see in EVERY GLO that you couldn't get otherwise. There's a brotherhood/sisterhood that we all share that, unless you're a member, one will NEVER have the PRIVLEDGE to see.

So, you know, talk your crap, say what you want, assume what want to assume. But there's a reason all but 3 Presidents since the inception of fraternities have been Greek. There's a reason the majority of Fortune 500 members are Greek. There's a reason that the majority of the "Who's Who" lists I've read are Greek. There's a reason that you can name most almost any celebrity/athlete and they are Greek. There's a reason that, basically, EVERY walk of life has been touched by a greek. And you will never understand what we share.

I don't care if anyone reads this, I just needed to get this off my chest.
