Dispelling the Rumors about Greek Life
When I pledged Alpha Phi Omega, a "friend" would notice my pledge pin or jersey, and would remark, "I would never pay money to have friends," or "You're pledging a frat? I would've never figured you as an elitist."
These comments disgusted me because they never asked me intelligently about the brotherhood I was about to join. They appoached me with archaic stereotypes from "Animal House" and "Reveng of the Nerds" movies. What can we do to quell these rumors about our way of life? I call on you, my brothers and sisters, to answer this question.
Fraternally,
-Gerald
