Right reasons for going Greek

[AXIDplace4me]

I went greek by accident. I had been having problems with school b/c i wasn't really involved in anything. I wasn't that happy with my life at school. Then my roommate was invited to some COB parties Alpha Xi was having and she asked if i would go with her just so she wouldn't have to go by herself. Well the first time i met the girls i felt like i have known them for a lot longer than six months. I didn't know if i was going to join if i got a bid when i went into the party, but i knew when i left that if i got a bid i would join in a heartbeat.

Why the fuck would you not go greek? Do you really want to spend your college carrer listening to emo cds and painting your fingernails black? Are any of you legacies, or even have a southern greek family tradition to carry on? From most of the post I have seen here I would't even offer you a bid.

And most of us wouldn't want a bid from you


Anyway to answer both questions:

I did not see myself as going Greek. I had the sterotypes of sororities in my head, but my mom encouraged me to rush. She's an ADPi at the U of I and our personalities are totally different, so I doubted she understood Greek Life at my smaller Jesuit University. However, I went through rush on her dime er.. 35 dollars.. and discovered I really liked the girls I met (at least in some of the chapters) so I ended up preffing both ADPi and Sigma Kappa, put SK down as my number one..

And here I am

Thank God too because apparently all my non-greek friends were hiding their emo/goth tendencies from me. I couldn't have stood that.

An intersting Post!

I am not really sure why You are attending this Site other than being a bother or pest.

You have nothing to give.

Yes I came here to show what I can give to the global greek community. That is my dream. Are you kidding me? I was wasted when I wrote that but it still stands in my mind. Why wouldnt you go greek? I have never heard any guy say, because I wanted to give back to the community, or help others. No its really more about brotherhood, achieveing a level of social prominince, and for the connections that benefit you the rest of your life. Granted the band parties, sorostitutes, and parties are an attractive part too.

Ah, now I can understand what You are saying!

As many say on Site I am drunk when I post!

But I am dyslexic and mechechnicaly challenged so I am trying to hang in typoing and keeping up with people and I go get upset! So, it is called earpspeak! It is a good word that I have come to love.

But isnt that life?

I would love to chat with you so PM or email me!

I am not afraid to talk to people as some are!

I never wanted to be Greek in college. My older brother joined and I made fun of him for it all the time in HS. I even used the "I don't have to buy my friends.." line. I never went through formal recruitment for that reason. After a semester one of my friends who went through formal recruitment but dropped (she had her heart set on one group that dropped her she she quit) came to me upset, she wanted to go to an open recruitment event for Sigma, but she was scared to go alone. I went with her as long as she made it clear that I was only going to support her, I had no plans of joining. While I was there I ended up sitting down and talking to a girl for about 30 minutes, we talked about everything and I really felt like she was an awesome person. After my friend ended up accepting her bid and I spent more time around her new sisters I realized I belonged with them too. I ended up getting to go through initation with my friend too.

I'm shocked at your selfishness. I know you're here to cause trouble, but I doubt that your attitude is singular to you. It breaks my heart. Why wouldn't you take what you have and give back? So, you enjoy it and you bring joy to others.

I won't lie either, community service was not among the leading factors that caused me to go greek.

If not community service, at least some level of philanthropy!! I'm so disappointed.
