table manners
was at a banquet the other day and was shocked at the lack of
table manners. We used to, as pledges, be instructed by our old
housemother...in the skills...or art...of table manners. Which fork
to use, how to pass food, etc. Does the NIC, NPC greek of today
get this training? We used to take great pride in ours, and we
had exchanges with the Pi Phis or Chi O's and we'd receive a goodly number of compliments.
And when we would be out on our jobs...our manners were often
noticed...the sign of a greek vs. the barb...
Any comments? Has fast food destroyed all this? The cell phone
has wrought havoc, too, on our dining habits...LOL
