As much as you'd like to avoid it, you have to play office politics or you will be passed over for the big projects and eventual promotions. You may be thinking I'm wrong, but I've been out of school for awhile and after doing my fair share of job-hopping and reading articles and books on careers, I feel you'll arrive at the same conclusion: Office Politics are inevitable.
Think of yourself as the rule, rather than the exception, and play along.
And if you're currently a collegiate Greek, now is a great time to practice among your fellow Greeks and officers.
