to the rest of you? He said what kind of college he was in. Or were you just in a hurry to put in your penny's worth that you didn't actually bother trying to understand what was said? First off, fraternities may be known for their parties and wild drinking, but that doesn't mean a thing. Not all fraternities are like that, but unfortunately, it's the ones that are like that that make the evening new. I happen to belong to a fraternity that does not have "wild" parties, but they are enjoyable. I also drink, does that make me a bad person? Does that mean I'm not worthy of your respect? Does the fact that my fraternity has parties at all mean that it is not worthy of your respect? Not a chance. Second, I didn't ask, nor does it matter, whether you would join a fraternity or not. It does not change your responsibility as a human being to treat us with the same respect you would anyone else. Third, you may like to think of the whole school as a fraternity. See if the rest of the school thinks that way. Especially the girls. It's a lot like world peace. Good idea, but the chanes of it happening for any length of time, slim to none. Fourth, about this "clique-promoting" behavior that is promoted by fraternities and sororities...Maybe somewhere, some part of the Greek system does promote it. I still have classes with the rest of the school. I still swim with people of other fraternities. I am not relegated to befriend only my fraternity. To be completely honest, I would prefer that my fraternity was more cliquish. As it is, each frater in my fraternity has a mandatory 20 hour community service requirement every SEMESTER. There are few clubs on this campus that do not have someone from my fraternity involved in it. Cliquish? Maybe somewhere else. Not in my fraternity. To heck with that stuff indeed. Btw, I drink, but I don't have any drinking buddies. |
