(untitled #2)

A while back, I wrote a good deal about Bid Day & all things sorority-related; plenty of duders were pro'lly wondering, "Dude, are you an AOII/AGD/A-Phi now?..." (lol). A full week has passed since I last posted on all things Greek & naturally enough I wanted to get my "frat" on - in a positive way, of course. So without further hesitation, here goes:

Who knows how many fraternity members should know by now that just a short time ago their favorite sororities got new (& wonderful!!) ladies; naturally enough, the new member educators/pledge educators also got the memo as well. If there was one way among many where not only the actives but also the new duders could get to know their sorority counterparts more personally, it would be to go to each respective chapter & serenade them, if this hasn't been done already. (I almost forgot: if one dude from this house or that is a DZ flame, a Daggerman, an Ivy Man, an Owl Man... this advice of getting new members to serenade their respective sororities needs to be taken into full consideration.) Not only is serenading showing one's appreciation & courtesy toward AOII, A-Phi, AGD, etc., the new members are also doing the same & learning about respecting women in the process.

Serenading might seem corny to some duders but when it comes to your new duders getting to know their new sorority counterparts, this is an awesome way to show that they're appreciated, seriously. It doesn't have to take Bust, Homecoming or the next house party/social before your new guys get a chance to know their other halves in the Greek community; if they have their sweetheart songs down pat & the timing is perfect to make a chapter visit, go for it. Your fave sororities will be glad that you did care about them wholeheartedly through serenading & they may even have a good line to say about the new guys.

Oh yes, serenades, like sorority cheers, do count as music too :-)
