It's life time for us.

Well you said "most" but you never said that was just based on the ones you've run across.

None of this stuff is 100%. There are BGLO members who say USED (and there are even more whose actions aren't reflective of a lifetime commitment). The difference is that it appears to be more of a crime against humanity when BGLO members don't live out their lifetime commitment.

The way I have seen it, most older aged men that I know love to contribute to their chapters, do stuff with pledge brothers, many whom are now business partners, and go to football games and tailgates at the house........but really don't care as much to make it a point to advertise that they are "still in a fraternity or still an SAE or whatever fraternity that they pledged." Considering the personal achievements that they had and continue to have.....letting everyone know that they are still greek is of the least of their concerns.

Ooooh. I need to watch what I say Ms. DST. You're detailed aren't you.

I see what your saying but one of the reasons why I wear a hat sometimes, is because I might meet another frat brother. A perfect example of this is I always wanted to design cars and one day I was at the gas station with a frat sweat shirt on and this older guy who is also a member helped me get into one of the best industrial design schools world wide. I just had to work hard to build a portfolio to get in. It took me two times but I got in. If I hadn't had any frat stuff on, I wouldn't have gotten into the school as soon as I did. He's one of the head designers at Daimler Chrysler. We keep in touch and when I'm done, Daimler Chrysler will do just fine.

But to each his own.

You're old enough to have applied this already.

That's the difference. While not all BGLO members feel the need to advertise, many of us do. I'm 8 years in and I don't wear 'nalia but I have a license plate on my car. I have Sorors who are 60 years in who still wear 'nalia almost on a daily basis. It varies based on personal preference.

When I was in college, I saw an OLD man wearing an OLD SAE sweatshirt. He looked sooooo cute and all the BGLO members and other black students were like "awwwww...that's wonderful!!!" However, many (not all, of course) of the white students were laughing at him as he walked through the student commons building. Like they thought he looked ridiculous and needed to hang it up.

This is a common argument but all of our organizations are filled with accomplished people who are changing society and the world. Yet, we are able to multitask and be multifaceted. It isn't hard to do. People do it all the time. It's just that many of your fraternity brothers choose to multitask, and advertise affiliation, with organizations other than the one they pledged a lifetime commitment to.

Thanks for the talk though pal......good luck on that middle-management paycheck to paycheck "big thing" of yours.

LMAO, if you only knew billy bob. you're the simpleton trying to show out on how great you are, but it only shows how incredibly insecure and pathetic you are. but from what you've posted thus far, you're starters credentials couldn't even smell what i was doing with myself when i was your age.

RIF, simpleton. i've already discussed my disagreement with homosexuality. are you projecting your own insecurities?

Great man, thats awesome. I am not trying to "show off" at all. 99% of your posts centers on someform of accusation about how pathetic/stupid/ignorant/unimformed/simple/overloaded/redneck/white trash.....etc. etc. I am. Providing a little information in defense is hardly me trying to impress a bunch of people. Personally, I don't think you are any better than anyone on this board. You make all of these staunch accusations against all of us and then turn around and talk loads of shit.

Obviously you have some sort of inclination to compare yourself to me.........as you have made it a point to let me know that what you were doing when you were my age is far superior to my accomplishments (highly doubt it actually), and then you felt it necessary to let me know how succesful you are know and what "big things" you have done. I don't care.

Obviously my number would be higher. I have what, 800 posts? He has close to 4000. Didn't realize it took some huge amount of time to post 4.5 times on a message board.
