Something to think about...
Although it's been said previously, that this is an old post, I still believe that the post itself has some virtue in us discussing it further.
It is obvious to all of us that Greek Life is not for all... we see people on the street who we think could really benefit from it, but Greek Life has never been about pushing something on someone else, but rather allowing people to express themselves freely in a supportive organization. So when someone asks about Greek Life, in addition to researching about the many organizations, we should encourage them to take the step into researching about themselves. For those who challenge themselves and allow themselves to be vulnerable to Greek Life, it may be the greatest or worse experience they've ever encountered - but amongst everything, it is probably an experience they won't soon forget.
Personally, I have run into people who have the same feelings as Puertorican Princess and The Icon, and although it is easy to argue the lack of reasoning in their arguments and the validity of ours, we can't account for the experiences they may have had. Instead, we as models of the Greek Organizations which we represent should stand for what Greek Life is all about, the acceptance of diversity and the freedom to express one's self openly and honestly.
Although some organizations have lost the sense of their mission within the years, we as a whole have been strengthened by the experiences of our brothers and sisters. So Chad, why should you join a fraternity... well look to yourself, can you stand to be strengthed by the experiences of others? can you stand to be pushed towards excellence in academics and collegiate life? can you stand to be a model to the larger community as well as an aide to those in need? If you can, then I urge you to stand and excel amongst the leaders of our nation - those in fraternities and sororities...
