Tip for new actives

If you're a newly initiated member of a fraternity here is a huge tip:

DON'T TRASH TALK OTHER FRATERNITIES. It'll bite you in the ass in the long run. Trust me. Especially if you're at a school where everyone snitches for the slightest IFC offenses.

No really though. I don't think new members realize they look like dumbasses when they try to hate on another sorority/fraternity when they have no clue what the history between your two orgs are. Plus it makes it look like you're being bred to hate the other during your new member period. I've seen it and it makes your org look stupid and petty.

Another point would be: You get as much out of ANY organization as you're willing to put into it. That would include griping.

It never ceases to amaze me with the infighting on campus while the Nationals work closely together for the betterment of all Greeks.

It is an unknown thing, but meany times there are members of different GLOs working in other GLOs HQs!

One of the newest is a LXA working in DTD HQ. He is not the first.

We as Greeks are mostly the minority on campus.

Look at the %s and that will tell your pretty darn quick!

I had friends in all GLOs when I was in school.

How about you?
