Last night I just happened to catch the last 15-20 minutes of the K A Psi Spring 2K6 probate at my alma mater. Throughout the entire time I was there they were incredibly disrespectful. They used tons of profanity and even went as far as calling out the name of a pledge that apparently dropped line and didn't make it through. I also noticed that hardly any members from the other greek organizations were there I later learned that they had left earlier because they were disrespected at the probate and refused to stay for the rest of the show. It's only been 6 years since I graduated and it seems like step shows, probates, etc have become more vulgar and repulsive. I remember when I was an undergrad neos would greet each organization in attendance and show respect for their fellow greeks. I will end this in saying that perhaps this is not just a problem with greeks but with society as a whole. It has become more acceptable to put people down and publicly "diss" them. Showing love and respect have become almost a sign of weakness. Just look at the hip hop industry where you cannot sell any records unless you have a diss song or beef with another artist. It used to be that greeks represented the campus's elite and brightests individuals. This may still be true but you would never be able to tell it by some of their behaviors.
