Although I'm a hopeful PNM, I value the other things I'm involved in on my campus like...
The Network Peer Educators--voted "Member of the Month" the first month I joined. Love being at meetings and I'm going to be secretary this year--Can't wait!
I'm also going to be a Red Key tour guide for my school. Had to interview to get in.
I also mentor once a week for Big Brothers Big Sisters at the elementary school on my campus
I'm also in Spectrum for LGBT's and their allies.
I used to have a job at my school's cafeteria, but I'm not going to work this coming year because I need my sanity...
See I don't feel as if this is alot, but when I tell other people about what I'm involved in, they're all like "how do you it? you work so hard!" I just don't want to be like the people on my campus who sit in their rooms and b**** about how this school is boring.
It's ONLY what you make of it. That's what I say to the GDI's(I disaffilliated
) who talk mess about the sororities and fraternities because of whatever foolish idea they have have about GLO's. Greeks on my campus are the only people who show any bit of school spirit and they're the ones who get involved and make a name for themselves. That's one of the reasons why I want to be in a sorority. Many of the Greeks in my school have a separate life outside of their GLO's and I respect that they can all come together for one common bond--the sister/brotherhood.
Sorry to go off on this looooong tangent--but keep doing what you're doing y'all! You are respected for what you stand for, and the ones who don't agree probably don't stand for much anyway.
That's my $1.50!
