Loyalty. Dedication. Appreciation.
Three words which lead to the exact same destination: support.
When it comes to showing support for just one sorority in the Greek system, a lot of duders are more than happy to do just that. But for the most part, it's all a bunch of lip service, fake sincerity in every sense of the word "fake." Sure, plenty of the aforementioned men who wear Greek letters may mean well & are willing to show their love when they're up to the task but in the end, when the excitement & fun wears off, their hearts are with another sorority, then another, then another...In summary, their "love" & "support" are nothing more but facades, fronts, farcical.
However, there are a select group of Greek men who truly love one sorority with all their hearts & truly are going the extra mile to show their support (be it through philanthropic events that they hold, Bid Day, Homecoming, among other positive things). That's the mark of a true gentleman, a man of good character, a man who actually cares about his sorority counterparts with a passion that is unique as much as it is heartfelt. It's support that is not meant just for four years or so worth of college but as a lifelong deal; this is a fact about Greek life which I among countless others share wholeheartedly & has remained part of my personal philosophy for the longest time.
For those men who don't love one sorority with all their hearts or see sororities as a scoring station, I find their support (if they show any) downright laughable. I mean, what's so difficult about doing the little things to make them smile? to cheer them up? to show that they're appreciated? to show that they're loved? It's not that hard to find a sorority who has the classiest, most wonderful ladies around & say, "I love AOII," "I love AGD," "I love DZ," etc. & really mean every word that you said. And it's not that hard to do the little things to show your Greek counterparts that you're willing to stand by them through thick & thin, through good & bad & via the most random acts of kindness.
Support of this magnitude is giving 110% to your fave sororities in the Greek system, not 25% or 50%. That's the kind of support any fraternity member with a heart & personality should show his favorite sorority, & not just when he feels like doing so either.
Take it from one who knows, one who has lived these words out like none other.
