I love how he is using several American inventions to call Americans stupid, and "prove" it. And the best part is that he calls us arrogant while he is talking about the superior standing of the Greeks.

===============================

Actually, I call myself a fraternity man. As to pronunciation, we are more concerned with academic Greek than with the watered down degenerate form amusingly referred to as modern Greek.
When I was at school we studied the development and employment of Greek as both a national and broad regional 'lingua franca' for commercial and international trade use. This brought us through Homeric, Attic, Classical, and Coine. Modern Greek was not viewed as part of the domain of the Classics Faculty and was relegated to the sub-department of modern languages, one of the less selective disciplines.
As to your comment about how "we suck" I should point out that fraternity men and sorority women are known for leadership, involvement in worthwhile causes, social polish, and good hell raising, not to mention academic achievement demonstrably above the norm. I would much prefer that sort of reputation than to be thought of as a nation with a proclivity for buggery.

We just hired an AKA (there are many other in her family as well). I had no idea until I saw stuff in her office as it didn't come up in the interview process.

Several of the kids who work at our restaurant came back to work over Christmas break. Three of the girls had went through rush and joined: Alpha Xi Delta (Texas State), Delta Zeta (LSU), and Alpha Chi Omega (Texas).

There was a meeting in my classroom in December. Several teachers saw a Sigma Chi letter shirt that is hung on my wall (teachers put up pennants and old shirts of their colleges in our building). Found out that I work with Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Delta Delta,Theta Chi, Sigma Pi, and Alpha Gamma Rho.

In my department - none. In the department next to mine (there's only 4 of them) 2 - both Gamma Phi Betas who are apparently active in their alumnae chapter since they both hit me up for a fundraiser. lol

<bump>

Just found out yesterday that my manager is a Delta Zeta.

[WVU alpha phi]

Our executive admin is an Alpha Delta Pi from Clemson.

I interviewed a Chi O from East Carolina not too long ago.. the position ended up being cancelled, which was disappointing because I so badly wanted to hire her!

[lovespink88]

Fun thread bump...there's lots...I work with an Alpha Xi, Pi Phi, Theta Xi, DZ, ADPi, Alpha Phi, SDT, Theta & SAE! Greeks like advertising, I guess. There was always a ton in my classes, lol

My mentor/boss who I'll be working for starting June 13th is a member of Phi Sigma Society (the same biological sciences honor society that I'm a member of). Small world.

Oh, and he's also a TKE.

[DreamfulSpirit]

The CEO of my division (I work for the American Cancer Society) is a Tri-Delta.
