Looking back on Greek years

[Glitter650]

Being almost done, (enrolled only part time this fall with 6 units) with school at this point and looking back at my college career, I can * Kinda * see where you're coming from. I mean really, what is the whole point of the greek system? . I mean practically all other countries' higher education institutions get along fine with out them.. why do they flourish here and what do they provide us REALLY ??
WELL it totally depends on you. I think that you get something from your org... whether it be the short term "easy hook ups" and opportunities to party, or long term leadership oppontunities/training and lifelong friendships is up to you.
There is this saying that I'm sure many of us have heard time and time again that I know a lot of us like to throw around in rush "you get out of it what you put into it" IT IS THE MOST TRUE STATEMENT IN THE WORLD !! If you put in the time and effort and take on a leadership position as a collegian and take the core values to heart and live them in your life.. I think that being in a GLO can totally change you... (low self esteem or not) or at least help you through your hard times and give you some direction in your life.
It doesn't matter if anyone cares once you're in the non-college arena... sure they may not give a rats ass that you were pres. of your frat or got a bid from the most prestigious house on campus.. or have even HEARD of your org... but bet your bottom dollar your boss cares if you know how to delegate responsibility and get your S#*! done on time.
