I was gonna say that in my last post, and my rationale would've been, "Because it's way too easy for folk to b[el]ch, moan, and complain about how others stereotype us than to proactively eliminate the stereotypical perception, even if only for a season, if for no other reasons than to disprove, and in some respects, improve."

i could care less what someone non greek or non pan thinks of whether or not i step, party walk, do my call or wear my line jacket. that is my way of showing love for my fraternity to my fraternity brothers.

Cool More power to 'ya. All I am saying is that there are inherent risks involved with such, some of which is imitation and "step requests". All I am saying to folk is, don't complain about the consequences if you are not prepared to take the risks.

they are the ones who don't take the time to learn about us. these people care not about the love, the bond and the subculture that life on the yard is. i know good and well that the IFC frats aren't about blondes and beer, so why shouldn't they know that we're more about stepping? stepping is not the only thing that these folks see, that is the the only thing that they're interested in. people see what they want to see.
If you want others to take off their rose-colored glasses, sometimes you gotta take off yours as well and put them (read: pride/"Public display of Greek love") in your pocket, if only for a season.
