Lightbulb The Cavepeople of Today...

Have you seen the television commercial for car insurance where the salesman makes a reference to cavemen......then the cavemen are having dinner at a white-tablecloth-restaurant with him and they seem to be very enlightened and intelligent......then the salesman says he didn't know that cavemen were still around? (Whew!)

That's kind of like hazing. It should be an ancient thing of the past for today's Greeks. However, too many men and women think that it holds a place in their chapter and in their membership process.

In many areas of their lives, these college men and women seem to be enlightened and intelligent, yet they resort to "procedures" and "worth-proving" tactics that don't belong in our society and in our Greek associations any longer.

Please stop.

Iris

Good one Iris!!!!

It's a GEICO car insurance commercial. I actually think it is an annoying commercial but it sticks with you.

Now, if we can just educate our students AND alums! Anybody notice that alums of every group have a different idea of what is ok today in new member education? Talking to a well educated man the other day in his late 30s - he said he thought the fraternity kids were "sissies" today because in his day they did....(stuff I hate to even type)

I asked him if any of his brothers ever went to the hospital for injuries or alcohol poisoning. He looked at me and said YES and thought it was still ok. UGH!!
