Pass It On!!! Things I've Learned Since I've Been Greek

[KAPPAtivating]

Being GREEK is like being in a family:

Unfortunately, you do not get to pick who your family is.

E'erbody would trade one or two members if you could.

You still deal wit' em cause they are your family.

You never put the family's dirty laundry out in public.

Don't worry about what another family does down the street, you just make sure you and your family do what they are supposed to be doing.

Amen...too bad it is so all totally true cause it is too long for a great bumper sticker. Meanwhile, too many seem to think being "Greek" is everything and they can just sit back and let others "carry the ball."
That is one of the biggest problems in houses, those who promise to help and then cannot be found when the need arises but this is in families or friendships or whereever...

To be Greek is to totally accept the challenge and the opportunity to be the best you can be, share it with others and blend the two to be a true sisterhood of women or brotherhood of men. Sounds hokey as hell, but if you are lucky enough to do it right.....it really continues thru your entire life. I would give my life for my sisters if needed and really know they would do the same for me. I am truely blessed but this treasure comes with dedication and belief. No easy pass. But when I receive our handshake from a sister from another chapter, it means everything.

I've learned that there are teachers out there that do not like you simply because you are a member of a greek lettered organization. Period.

Snippy comments, dirty looks. Early on, I stopped wearing para to class (take off before I get there) because I got tired of having to defend my RIGHT to join an organization of my choice.

One my teachers expecte the GLO people in the class to make straight A's on everything. I thought it was just me until he found out there was a girl in Alpha Xi Delta (I think, sorry if I am wrong) and she dot a 78 on a paper and I got a 82 he siad, "Well ladies I am mighty suprised!" There were other people in the class with F's and shit, but we are the big let downs.
