Yeah, congratulations! It's a good job. Some folks will do lots with it. Others will do nothing.

thank you for the support. its nice having people from other glo's be happy for you and take the time to congratulate you. its funny on this site people who would normally be rivals or even enemies are friends. people who you may never talk to because of the letters they wear, people who could possibly be one of your best friends get avoided and overlooked, and possibly hated. its sad. but sadly i am guilty of the same quick judgement. i look at a rival fraternity member reguardless whether or not i know him and pass judgement automatically. this website has opened my eyes though and i think it could definitly benefit all. i like the quote that one of you had, no matter the letter we are all greek together. its true, by going greek you get into a whole other ball game. other people stereotype you as greek party drunk, or haizer the same way we look at other greeks and say some mean things. i hope everyone hear has thought about that and maybe stopped some of the greek on greek hatred, cause we are all greek together.

Dude, when you get right down to it, we all value many of the same things no matter what the letters. That's what GC is about. Besides, you should be praying for every single fraternity on your campus to succeed. The bigger and better they get, the bigger and better you'll get.

Chapters don't exist in a vacuum. They exist on a campus. Greeks are perceived a certain way on that campus. You'll attract the right or the wrong people based on the campuswide perception of Greeks. As PR VP you can make a huge difference here.

a lot of greeks dont realize what you just said is true. they want to crush out everyone who is anywhere close to their size, which isnt good because then the competition isnt there and then you slack off. plus like you said with the greek life thriving, the more greeks the more involvement and the bigger the rush, because you can pretty much say your either an athlete or your greek, cause if you are not your nothing.

What made me see this was when your PKA boys came to UCO. We hesitantly supported them. Since then, rush numbers have gone up for everyone. We've been adding about one new fraternity every 2 years since us (then PKA, then TKE was rerecognized).

If they go, prepare for your HQ to call on ya'll

It wasn't long ago that the PKA's colonized at Central Oklahoma. Those folks brought the thunder... Affiliates from other chapters and as many as five advisors. Yup.. only took 'em a year to charter (took us 3).

Cool about your boss. I hear the Sigma Nu house at Colorado is a sight to see.

we did colonize quickly but it was much easier having you guys support. you guys always seemed to have our back so we didnt feel so alone in the process. but who has a house and who doesnt. we are still looking and you guys have a nice one established. much nicer than acacias might i add. hope you guys continue setting the standard.
