A unique and kind of sad recruit story

[Stanleypeep]

in a pledge class with people who treated you badly

For the record no one in my house or pledge class treated me poorly at all. That's actually the opposite of what I was essentially trying to convey.

The reason I quoted this story as sad was because at the time, I was too insecure to overcome these issues and become Greek. But no matter whether I did or not, the girls still supported me no matter what. I COULD have gained more from that if I had chosen to take advantage of it, but I didn't. This is a story for potential PNM's that have doubts to basically say, if you have those doubts, here's why you may regret them. Not looking for sympathy because I am (even though I guarantee no one believes this nor at this point does it matter) way past it. But I encourage girls with doubts to be stronger people, like the women they admire, the women I admired.

You could very well have made this point without throwing shade on the chapters at your school, which is why I don't buy this.

There ya go.

The more you respond to what everyone is saying the deeper the hole you're digging yourself.

In any case,

I still stand by the Greek system if nowhere else but at URI. I would hope that you would want your PNM's to value honesty and not be two-faced. Frankly, I'd rather have someone roll their eyes at me than be sweet as pie but talk about you behind your back. (Heh, talk about unresolved dirty laundry)

I still know that that my story is a Greek story AND a life story as I learned from it myself. I'll always know that even though the entire experience had its ups and downs, I came out of it with a still positive opinion of my school's Greek system and the members within them.

I think your responses are now standing for themselves. Regardless, I still love all of my girls, sisters or not for being who they are and respecting me for who I am. That speaks volumes in my eyes, if not in yours.

Then stop bashing the houses. You haven't had one consistent thing to say, from what I can see.
