Wow, I finally read this thread. Now that the prospect of becoming greek is coming near, I've been pondering my decision much more lately.
I actually had thought, maybe it would be easier to just go through the NPC rush and just get a house and live with it. But I just don't see what I want in an NPC sorority. Please, I hope I don't offend anyone, this is just my own personal viewpoint.
In all honesty, I see more of what I want out of the greek experience in the BGLOs. Let me explain. I see Shaq in is Q shirt. I saw a woman drive past me in the parking lot the other day. She was VERY old (could barely see over the steering wheel) and proudly wearing a Delta cap. I see how vehemently members defend, promote, and display their affiliation to their greek organization. They truly love the organization and all that she stands for. I just don't get that feeling from the NPC sorority members I know. I see how much the IG's look forward to becoming a Delta or an AKA or a SGRho -- not just becoming greek (well, most of them anyway).
I want to be part of a system that breeds such loyalty. I look forward to being an active member of the sorority long after I graduate. I hope to help with it's expansion, the shape of the chapter as she grows, and many other things. I don't look upon my joining a sorority as something to do in college. I am looking at this as a life long committment.
I know a SigEp. He is still in college, a senior, and he could really care less about the frat. His attitude is: Hey, it was something to help me adjust to my new surroundings, meet chicks, go to great parties -- but I am passed that now.
I know I don't want to take an easy out. I want to continue to work hard and earn these letters I dream about.
