making non-greeks understand...
the other day, i was at a friend's house and he had this movie made by the guy who also made "Road Trip" (Todd something is his name)... anyway the movie is a documentary about pledging and getting into the fraternity, i believe it's called "Fraternity Row" or something... anyway, not important... i watched the movie w/ two of my guy friends who are not greek. the movie showed the pledges getting hazed by the other brothers, etc. after the movie was over, the three of us got into a discussion about why people pledge. they understood the hazing, apparently (how it supposedly makes a pledge stronger, respectful..), but they did not understand why someone would want to GO THROUGH all the hassle just to be in a fraternity/sorority. i told them i have made some of my life-long friends through my sorority but they just said, "i can make friends and not be greek.. i can have fun and not be greek..." which is true, but i believe there are so many more benefits. i was getting so frustrated b/c they did not accept any answer i gave them as to why one would want to be part of such an organization. how can i make others who are non-greek (and stubborn about the entire concept) understand what an amazing thing being greek is?
