Got a quick break here so I'll tell you all who have been anxiously awaiting
MY RESPONSE:
What do you mean that you don't want to do any of that "stuff" they do. You just want your letters?! In the future be very, very cautious who you talk to and what you say. DON'T YOU EVER TELL A DUES PAYING ACTIVE MEMBER OF ANY GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATION THAT FOOLISHNESS! Don't you know that if I didn't like you that I could black ball you?
"Well how could you do that. You're a Sigma Gamma Rho."
And you are right about that. You don't think that we talk to each other? At any given community service event almost all of the D9 show up. We network. We have the NPHC. WE TALK!! I know members of ABC in different chapters in the area that are directly involved in membership for their respective chapters. All it takes is one phone call. The world is too small for what you said to me. And why not try to establish a positive line of communication with the members you work with first. What if you showed up at one of their chapter's events. You think they would have anything favorable to say about you concerning your interest in membership?
And further more if you are dating a man who was a member of any fraternity and you let that crap come out of your mouth it may make the difference as to whether he will take you seriously because he knows that you will never fully understand the depth of his commitment and time obligations to his fraternity.
"Well I thank you for telling me that but I don't have to pledge here in this area. It is my goal for '05. And I will make it in by '05. I'm just that determined. Even if I have to go to Texas."
And Sorors and friends who are reading this, I had nothing to say after that. The old term "6 degrees" doesn't even apply in the greek world. It's more like 2 degrees. Even in Texas. In the words of Fred Sanford -- I had to keep this to myself --- YOU BIG DUMMY!!
