Need help with a paper

[Day13]

Doing a persuasive paper or persuasive speech on "Why to go Greek" was on all my teacher's lists of things not to write about.

If your teacher is Greek, they know the facts and statistics already. If they aren't Greek, they probably don't like Greeks.

English papers are graded subjectively and if your teacher does not like you or fraternities you will get a C.

Change your topic, but that is just advice.

Also, install Firefox so it can spell check for as you type online.

Although there is a subjective element to grading papers, a good professor is going to grade a persuasive paper on whether or not you support your assertion, not whether or not he/she agrees with your argument. That said, I'm with your professor as far as subjects NOT to write on- abortion, gun control and legalizing drugs were on my list. There is nothing new to be said about those topics.

Not necessarily. Last time I checked, being (active) in a GLO doesn't require knowledge of certain facts and statistics about Greekdom, in general.

Why do people keep assuming that nonGreeks "probably" dislike Greeks? Maybe this is some alternate universe that I thankfully wasn't exposed to.
