The first home football game @ Ball State is coming up on Thursday night. Bummer that I can't make it down to attend the tailgating festivities...oh how I miss those days with a passion!! Anyways, while I'm on the subject of tailgating, I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to get a pressing topic off my chest & share it with my fellow Greeks who are planning to live it up & have a blast during tailgating so here goes:
When it comes to wearing Greek letters, we should wear them not only with pride but also with respect & courtesy toward our fellow Greeks. However, when it comes to tailgating, as well as on other occasions, we (more often than not duders!!) would rather wear our letters & make complete fools of ourselves while we get ridonculously hammered & become raging wastoids...in short, we're representing our chapters in such a way that isn't exactly befitting by any means. I'm not saying that we can't wear our letters @ tailgating or that we can't get our drink on @ tailgating with our Greek letters displayed proudly for all to see. (With sororities, that's a whole other ballgame; I won't go into all the details here.) What I'm trying to say is this: we should wear our letters in a way that emphasizes respect & appreciation towards our fellow Greeks; as it stands, our letters give away our true character, what kind of people we're made out to be according to the standards of our respective fraternities & sororities. To wear them in a manner which confirms that we act the fool on a regular basis is not only wrong; it's also unacceptable.
Hopefully, though, with our first home game, we can get thing started out right (& strong as well). And of course, things wouldn't complete without tailgating so if we're planning to show our Greek letters, let's wear them with pride, with respect, with courtesy & most of all, with love.
