THE LIFE OF A FRATERNITY / SORORITY MEMBER !





Year 1-3 of Membership:


I am the most HARDCORE BROTHER/SISTER to have ever crossed the burning
sands! NO ONE shall even THINK about dissing my organization. Any slight to
my organization will be dealt with SWIFTLY AND HARSHLY!!! I have the
schedule of every stepshow in the United States and I intend to appear at
each one. And my organization must win each and every time or
we have been CHEATED. I can't believe all of the LIES people keep saying
about my
organization. How dare someone that is not in my organization have the
unmitigated
gall to ask for information about my hallowed organization. Don't you know
that since I have pledged, we don't need anybody else? By the way, did you
know that I pledged the hardest of anyone EVER at my school?

Year 4-8 of Membership:


Boy, I really miss my undergraduate chapter. Why do I come to these
graduate meetings? They won't let me do anything and they are a bunch of
old fogies. You know, I just realized that I have a few friends that
pledged something else, and they are really not all that bad. In fact, most
people in those OTHER organizations are kind of ok, even though they did
pledge the wrong organization. Man, what happened to all of my
paraphernalia. And how come the undergrads don't use the steps that we used
to use back in the day? By the way, did you know that I pledged for over
twelve weeks and a day?


Year 8-12 of Membership:


You know, I could still step if I had to. I have finally gained some power
in the grad chapter and I intend to turn the whole organization upside
down. What will my child pledge, and how can I brainwash him/her into
pledging the organization that I want him/her to join? By the way, how many
people are still at my old undergraduate chapter? Why do undergrads persist
in calling me 'old school'? I'm only 30,31,32,33,34. Maybe I should buy
some paraphernalia because I can't seem to find any that still fits. And
what do I do with this old 'nalia? I sure can't throw it away. Oh well,
I'll keep it in a bag. By the way, do you now that I pledged for 24 weeks,
took wood every fifteen minutes of the day, and didn't sleep for two
straight weeks?


Years 12 and beyond of Membership:


Why do we still have undergrad chapters and why do they continue to put the
organization at risk? How dare they have any type of fun or parties! Don't
they know that we grads are the most important members of the
organizations? By the way, did you know that I crossed only having walked
on my hands and knees from the East Coast to the West Coast, while in a
rainstorm, while on my knees, while maintaining my 4.0 GPA while online.
And I loved every minute of it!
