great topic!
i believe that being different rocks people's boat. it makes people uncomfortable when something in thier lives is disturbed in any way. for example, if you're surrounded in a room of people in business suits and ties and YOU'RE in a business suit and tie, when all of a sudden someone comes in with a tye-dye dress on and sandals, you're going to feel uncomfortable. i think that in this case, people would think "what do other people think about ME with this person in the room?"
sometimes, i like deliberately being different to piss people off and see how they react. although, if one strives to be different, in the society that we live in, isn't greek life the ultimate in conformity??
