I bet you screamed that at your monitor while you typed it. "YEA, I SAID IT!!!" LOL Gone 'head girl! Tell 'em why you mad!!!

No need to scream, but its a true statement...

Its amazing how far folks will go to fit in. EVERYBODY wants to have a step show and line jackets and calls and handsigns like the D9, but not everyone wants to do the work that being in a D9 org requires.

What do I do? Well, while I was pursuing membership in my beloved sorority, I was working 2 part-time jobs, taking 16 credits in chemistry, doing academic research, was a regional officer for another organization, and a chapter officer for Alpha Chi Sigma (that's the professional chemistry fraternity if you aren't aware). As a part of several organizations I was putting on programs and doing community service.

Now that I am a member, I've done lots of the community as a part of 2 chapters. As a undergrad I've organized a bone marrow donor drive, organized programs on safe sex and time management, and tutored twice a month at a local elementary school. As a grad chapter member I've worked with our debutante ball, attended March of Dimes and AIDS walks, organized programming for our Wee Savers programs and contributed time and money to Operation Big Book Bag. And that doesn't even include everything that I've done with my chapter, and I did it as a full time PhD student.

Now, what have YOU done? Does your org even have a service requirement?

It's very true. I remember as a freshman, the IFC/NPC's on my campus had rather generic sweatshirts. Maybe their letters and chapter designation in whatever color they chose. As soon as My line crossed we rocked the coldest hoodies ever. That following fall, it seemed like every NPC/IFC chapter bought new hoodies with their specific colors and pledge class info in the same spots as our sweatshirts had. They didn't go as far as party hopping or calling (I don't think), but it was just obvious. They wanted to look cool.

I don't take it too seriously though. I'd love to picture my jewels calling on the yard at Cornell, strolling, and just being out in the coldest line jackets ever. Unfortunately, the founders of my fraternity didn't stroll, would wonder what a hoodie was, and didn't have chant-offs with anybody. The founders of most fraternities and sororities (Those founded before 1940 most likely) didn't show off that kind of stuff. Maybe in private, but, there were more important things to worry about at the time. Way more important things.

Hmmm....an intelligent post.

Yet we can still be entertained by it all and post about it.

You're a confusing woman.
Why would I ignore all this "love" that y'all are showing me?
