Oh well, other folks don't see the D9 as the pinnacle of Greekdom.

I don't see the D9 as the pinnacle of greekdom. But think about it.

I have, and I really don't care. Folks can join whatever orgs make them happy.

To each is own, but why would someone want to latch on to another person's sub-group, when they have a lot of work to do in their own organization. Seems backwards to me. That's like getting your Ph.D and then going to a junior college or vocational school. Why?

But some people actually do that. If you have a PhD in English lit but now you want to be an electrician, you'll have to go back to school to do that.

Exactly! Sweetheart organizations tend to be "support" organizations. But I feel one should spend time supporting ones own organization. And by being greek, especially D9, we can support each other. If she wants to support the Nupes, she can do that as a Zeta.

If I got my Bachelors in Business I could use it to get a job in marketing, management, and finance. I don't have to go back to school every time I switch jobs. That would be dumb!

Of course.

Those happen to be HIGHLY related fields.

But what happens if, for whatever reason, you have an interest in carpentry?

With that you can't "fake it til you make it".

well would you leave a job with a Fortune 500 company to make cabinets?
