Shadokat, do you have a book of old cliches that you copy these from? Honestly. And what is it with people and running for IFC positions? IFC here is a bad joke- they take our dues, and then do nothing. I was our IFC rep for a year- meetings consisted of the Greek advisor chastising a couple groups for whatever they did the weekend before, them denying it, and me doodling in my notebook. And don't tell me to go do something about it- the bad thing about democracy is, even when the majority is stupid, it gets what it wants.
I wouldn't rely too much on those web sites for proper membership numbers- I know the real numbers. We all meander between 25 and 35- although right now, a couple are below 20.
We're not stupid enough to express our doubts in front of men we're trying to recruit- hell, I don't even talk about them in front of my brothers. My doubts usually only come out after a couple G&T's.
The "it'll look good on your resume" line doesn't work for us- we're a local, and we consistently produce alumni with degrees in things like Sociology. Actually, I've always liked that about us- we don't get phoney rushees looking to just get connections, because we can't provide any. People act like exactly who they are when they rush us. That's often not a good thing for them, but oh well
I suppose we'll just keep doing what we're doing- accept things the way they are and just try to hang on.
