Wow... I definitely agree with like everyone! Locals do not get a lot of respect on my campus, especially since there are only a FEW.. one being mine, we just started a month ago and are getting a lot of heat from the nationals..
( I think it's cooler to be a local, especially since it opens up an option for those people who want to be greek but don't have a lot of money to blow on dues (we don't have to pay Panhell dues...)! We get put down a lot, but it is actually just more incentive for us to do better and show everyone that we are not failures and that what we're doing is just as good, if not harder, than what they've all done (the ntl.s that is)..
