Back to front

In my last post, titled "Well Wishing," I wrote about offering my sorority counterparts all the encouragement they need during next week & as always keeping things heartfelt. It'd be superfluous to say what's already been said countless times before about my love for Greek life, especially with sororities, so I'll leave it at that. But when it comes to other Greek duders going out & doing the same for their fave sororities...is there anyone found lacking here?

I'm not sure. To be honest, I'm really not sure.

Of course, there are those who have followed my lead (if not exactly to the letter, pretty close to it as they can get). Then there are those duders who are just giving out lip service; they can be the biggest, baddest drinkers/partiers/duders around at their respective houses but when it comes to offering their favorite sorority (-ies) the best of luck at this particular time of year, it's not that such suggestions don't register with them. It's the fact that they just don't get how important Recruitment week is for sororities in general; if they really wanted to show their love, they could have said it then & there. But they don't want to. Or they really meant to wish the best of luck to their sorority counterparts only to change their minds at the 11th hour...which is just as bad.

Fraternity Recruitment may be going on this week too, but still, duders, here's the thing: It doesn't hurt to offer your sorority counterparts within the Greek community good luck this week & really, really mean every word that you said. And if these dudes happen to be either an Owl Man, an Ivy Man, a DZ Flame, or an Arrowman, etc. (the best thing that could happen to any dude is become a sorority sweetheart!!) ...this note of advice is equally applicable to all of the above. It not only shows we've got courtesy & appreciation for women in general; we're also showing that we actually care about the sororities which we're proud to represent, not putting on some half-baked front to "show our love."
