I'm a member of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Delta Gamma.

I actually became inactive in ESA after my freshman year. I was planning on coming back my junior year, but because of things with Delta Gamma (sorority council, CMT, etc...) I was unable to do so.

The thing is, if you're a member of three different organizations, chances are you won't be able to be equally active in all three of them. I often wear my ODK letters, because I am very proud of the prestige at USC that this organization carries. I also have an ODK credit card (mainly because of the low interest rate). I no longer have Delta Gamma letters on my car, simply because I bought a new car this year and didn't want to put stickers on it, and opted for a USC Alumni tag instead, but I will occassionaly still wear the letters, and I even bought my dog a pink and blue leash. As far as ESA, no I do not still wear the letters.

As far as the post a long time ago from the SAI... I had planned to rush SAI my sophomore year, but I decided that I had too much on my plate. I want you to know this so that you understand that I do respect the organization very much. I don't know what it's like at your school, but at mine SAI is a very social. They have the same types of things that ESA had... socials, formals, retreats, etc... The thing you have to understand, though, is that NPC and SAI are very different things. This isn't saying that SAI is any less of an organization, just different. People are not trying to say you aren't social, but they are trying to make you understand that there is a difference between NPC and your organization. I think sometimes they misplace "NPC" with "social" and that is where you get insulted. Honestly, unless you were in both types of organizations (like me with ESA and Delta Gamma) you don't really fully understand the difference. Truthfully, I do think people look down on your organization too much because of the difference, but you should be proud of it as well. For example, you get to come together socially with people who have an equal love and respect for music as you do. That's a pretty neat thing, that NPC's can't say.
