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.

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.
