I feel that Greek Lige is not on the decline. Becoming Greek is soooo important to me and I don't feel that any of the D9 orgs are "declining"...just that society is changing.
Much of the allure and mystery is fading because you have members who aren't discrete, who don't represent in the best manner possible, and who will tell you priviledged information as if it were their first name. I've seen it froms frats to sororities-D9 and otherwise. This madness has to stop. But that aside, because there's only a small % of Greeks who do that, we interests ultimately have to keep it real and step up to the plate or step aside.
I think at the core of many of these excuses lies a major theme: PURE LAZINESS!! That's due in part to our society's microwave mentality: Get it hot, get it fast, get in now, lose interest after 5 minutes. Folks don't want to work hard for anything anymore and what's worse is that they honestly feel that this mentality is okay.
So let's not even focus on these individuals. I'm sure the members don't want you in their orgs and I know I don't want your lazy bum dragging beside me while I'm trying to get mine. There are ladies and gentleman out there who will work hard to save for membership/intake fees, who will study harder to get & maintain the grades they need. So, a lot of these replies from my fellow interests are simply excuses. It kinda makes me mad....
