Incongruencies

Incongruencies
in the Greek community... cause our numbers to go !!!!

We talk about;

-being respectful
-setting good examples
-being men and women of integrity
-To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand

-Believing that our given word is binding.
-Being honorable and courteous

But how can we do that when;

-we 'hook up' with multiple random people
-drink in our letters
-talk badly about other chapters
-say mean things about our OWN sisters/brothers
-steal composites from other houses
-don't attend mandatory philanthropy events (but still have time for date parties and themed gatherings)


I'd like to expand a little on this last point. Not attending mandatory philanthropy events really makes me upset. First off, people should want to attend these events such as initiating new girls/men into the sisterhood/brotherhood of each chapter and raising money for your chapter's philanthropy.

Instead, people choose not to show up, to show up hammered, or to show up and "sit on the sidelines" (which may be worse than not showing up at all). Then...a date party comes up and everyone is excited to go, even the members who miraculously haven't been to any chapter dinner, etc. want to go. Member's in Pi Phi who do not have an attendance rate of 80% cannot attend social functions. Members under this mark constantly argue with the Vice President of Administration (deals with attendance) to let them go to the social function. I have a life outside of Pi Phi, but I still have a 100% attendance rate. I'm not saying that everyone should have a 100%, but what I am saying is that members almost have to TRY not come to any event. If this is the case, then he/she should not even be thinking about wanting to go to date party. If they aren't trying to make the chapter better, then they should take their social life somewhere else...


We should eliminate these incongruencies by...

taking an active role in being aware of our actions and how they affect our sorority/the greek community as a whole

by doing this, we will...

have a better reputation

which will...

cause our greek member count to go !!!!!!!!!
