Overheard Conversation

I was sitting in psychology today and some kid in front of me was
talking with his friend about Fraternities although he called them
"Frats". He was telling his friend why he decided not to join one and
to be honest he reminded me of myself just a few months ago. His
reasons were:

-I don't need to pay to be friends with people.
-Why should I pay more money to live in a sometimes messy house when i
could live with my friends now off campus?
-Why should i pay money to buy booze when i can get what i want with
my own money?
He also made some sarcastic remark about "fake brotherhood".

While i was hearing this I could only shake my head. In only a few
weeks I've learned so much about how Sigma Chi works. I've realized
how tight the bond is between brothers and how members really care
about the work they put into raising money for charities and having a
positive impact on the community.

I just thought this was kind of fitting after the Greek 101 yesterday.
Many people view fraternities simply as drinking clubs but don't
recognize all the positive effects of Greek life.

So i punched the kid in the back of the head.

Just kidding LOL.

BTW apparently Evan has a twin sister at Rutgers -I Hope everyone saw
that picture!
