greencup, maybe the reason they seem loud and outgoing is that they feel comfortable with them selves and the Brothers/Sisters who will be standing beside them.
It seems that every positive thing that is said about what Greeks do is a negative to you and you can counter every thought and post,
then maybe Greek Life is not for you.
You seem to pride yourself in participating in charity things and know all sorts of people for contacts around the world, again, I state, maybe Greek Life is not for you.
Seeing as how you seem to be so closed minded then, you are the only one to blame if you do not look with open eys and investigate.
So, I and am sure all of us wish you good luck in your journey into life.
Oh, just for your info, I am attending a Alum gathering tonight at one of the Brothers house, and a bunh of Alums are going to a Base Ball Game Sat. It is not two or three, it is 20-30. Nice to be with My Fellow Brothers that range in and from #1-#568.
That is what being a Greek is all about.
As many posted here, we all went through a period of being afraid to try something new, but once We got there, it was a window that opened to the world.
That is why many of us on G C have become close friends and many from different Organizations not just our individaul Organizations.
