If you really want to be Greek, you need to look past that into the foundation of the organization and try to ascertain it's ideals and principles.

Greek Prospect,
In the above quote, my Soror has answered the question for me.
Prospects and non-greeks sometimes fail to realize (or forget) that we were individuals with our own characteristics and personalities prior to becoming greek. I don't intentionally intimidate people, but ladies that crossed after me have said they felt intimidated. I can't help how others feel or perceive me, but that didn't deter them from the journey. But after they crossed and they got to know ME, they said I was a cool and nice person to know.
