Personality and Greek Life

Yes, the school had the traditional fall rush, and I was a freshman. It seems like it's also possible to get so preoccupied with whether your first-choice house will want you that you can overlook the question of whether it's a good idea in the first place. If you get in, but it turns out to be a mismatch, well, you're out time and money and it's possible that someone else who may have been a better fit was passed over for that slot.

In my case, there really were some fundamental differences. One concern about PNM's during Rush was "questionable morals." This always seemed to translate to "sexually promiscuous" - it was never used in the context of, say, academic dishonesty. This disturbed me because I'd been taught that in the New Testaments, Jesus came down harder on hypocrisy than He did on sexual sins. (For example, with the adulteress, he said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.")

As appalling as it might sound to people on GC, I wouldn't have really thought of the badge, ritual, etc. as "sacred." It seems fair to say that members long ago put some thought and effort into them, and they've been shared by many women in each sorority since then. But realistically, a lot of the open mottoes seem like ... well, things that were composed by young women during the Victorian era. Nothing wrong with that, just nothing I'd consider religiously significant either. So I think my personality, like Q on Star Trek, is probably too iconoclastic for Greek Life.

You know, Jesus also said it was HIS job to judge others. You know " Judge NOT lest ye be judged."
