But the REALLY scary part was that 80% of all major CEOs and most of the military and all but two US presidents have participated in this 'character-building' tomfoolery. It's like SoS - but *WORSE*. Would any US listee like to admit to being part of it and explain why this is complete mispresentation?
Hmmm. I've had a voice for awhile but this is its virgin voyage. As I'm no pop guru, I've just been listening to all of Sinister's witty banter, etc. Until now! So... Hi. I'm Amanda. I love Belle and Sebastian. And... I'm...in a sorority! Do you hate me? Do you think I'm an elistist pig? Are you wondering how many pairs of khakis I own? (for the record, 1) It's a very bland argument, but the Greek system is made up of hundreds of national sororities and fraternities, which have hundreds of chapters, on hundreds of campuses, including a gazillion members. I've met loads of Greek dickheads. There are plenty of people who like to hide behind their letters, thinking that they're endowed with superhuman powers just because other people know they have friends. Of course...and I'd be a fool not to admit it. But we don't pay to have these friends. These are social organizations. We pay to buy coloring books for children's hospitals, but also to throw parties (ie buy lots of booze). Where lots of people drink too much, play bad music, etc. But that happens sometimes. And it depends on the sorority/fraternity. I do love my sorority. I've met hundreds of amazing people and have made lifelong friends. Then again, I've met hundreds of sucks and made lifelong enemies! It just depends who are you and what you seek. I've been living in Geneva for the past year so I have been out of the loop for awhile. But I'm coming back to the States in July so I hope to see some of you D.C. sinisterites around! Bisous, Amanda _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
