Getting started off right

School's going to start back up this week & for a lot of incoming freshmen heading off to the colleges of their choices, those couple months or so of breaktime they've had on their hands will soon come to a close. And of course, one wonders why the summer months seem to fly by so fast...lol. (Yeah, sometimes summer can go too fast as well.)

Having said that, the issue of Greek life for them may seem to be the farthest thing from their minds, unless they have brothers/sisters who are in fraternities/sororities (or are alumni/alumna) who can help explain the superlatives about Greek life to them. For those who don't have brothers/sisters who are proud to be Greek, however, they unsurprisingly are going to be asking plenty of questions, realizing that they're not yet comfortable about taking the plunge into all things connected with the Greek system.

And Move-In Day is one of the first places besides the Activity Fair where we as Greeks can get involved. This being one of the first days that they'll set foot on campus in earnest, upon their seeing us with our letters on, helping move in furniture, clothes, etc. they not only might be surprised that we're not the stereotypical lot some might take us as being. In fact, this may be one way among many which will help them decide if going Greek is a good call for them or no. By making one difference out of who knows how many on campus - & on Move-In Day especially - we could help shine a light to lead their way should they decide on checking things out during our respective periods of Recruitment.

Then a couple or so days later, one of the first tests for our respective chapters begins with the previously mentioned Activity Fair. Yet Move-In Day is the time when we, with plenty of dedication & initiative to spare, are getting things started off on a good note when it comes to shining our lights (& proudly wearing our letters) to the incoming freshmen out there.
