The end of my chapter

I think cheese popcorn is the most disgusting substance on earth - but I’m not going to go around blowing up all the cheese popcorn factories. I can’t stand Faith Hill’s singing but I’m not going to do her harm, I’ll just not listen to her.

The utter lack of ingenuity and originality is what gets me. Dues are too expensive for some people? Start a Anonymousie’s U Greek Scholarship Fund that all the groups can participate in. Legacy preference is harmful? Discuss it with your HQ and give concrete examples of where it’s hurt the chapter. If it still isn’t your thing, fine, quit. But don’t ruin it for others who might enjoy it. If you think you are so much better, create an alternative and people will flock to it if you’re right.

Well I guess I know what not to get you that DVD of Faith's Christmas Special and the 5 gal tub of cheese corn.


All kidding aside, I have to wonder if the other major 2020 event is also contributing to these decisions for collegiate members choosing to end their Greek affiliation. How many have families that have been financially impacted due to COVID 19 and were being told that they could no longer afford dues? Members who might also be having trouble finding a part time job to pay for the activities/dues? Who has chosen to remain at home because all instruction will be online so why even go to campus if you can't participate in anything?

Then just terminate yourself. Don’t blow up the whole thing and ruin it for anyone else. That’s the definition of self centeredness. Yes it may be embarrassing to admit you’re doing so because you’re in dire straits financially, but you are hardly the only person it’s happening to right now.
