Homecoming Week, Part Deux

In my last post, I focused on every superlative I could give Homecoming Week, especially since it's happening this week back at my alma mater. For this post, I wanted to shift the focus over to my fellow Greek brothers & sisters - & this is a recurring theme in virtually each post I have written pertaining to all things Greek - how important this week is for everyone involved:

As stated earlier on, this week is a perfect opportunity to make new connections, as well as make new friends. If fraternity members haven't made the effort to take their new guys out to serenade the sororities of their choice (& this is something which every new member educator needs to do with the new duders, seriously, if they haven't done so yet), what better way to get them acquainted with their sorority counterparts via Homecoming!! But this shouldn't be a one-week deal like Watermelon Bust or other events of that nature, that is to say, we hang out & party with a bunch of wonderful ladies for pretty much several days running then want nothing to do with them after Saturday night/early Sunday morning...That to me is not only plain wrong but to a certain extent disrespectful as well.

Here's the thing: Homecoming Week is a great time to establish new connections & make new friends with our sorority counterparts & I say this not just for the new members but also for the actives & alumni as well. The worst that any duder who wears Greek letters could do is write off the entire sorority whom they were paired up with for Homecoming & not give them much thought for the longest time afterwards...the last lines in the previous paragraph sum up everything which needs to be said about fraternity members who go this route so I won't reiterate it again. Some of the best, most lasting, most lifelong connections one could possibly make have occurred during Homecoming Week & I say these things from experience.

This week in general is one of the most awesome, most exciting, most memorable weeks anyone could have during their four or so years of college, & especially if we're willing to make it as each of the above. For my fellow Greek brothers & sisters back @ Ball State, these are words worth taking to heart. And worth putting to good use for a majority of this week.

I've said it once before but this time around-
For AOII, Sigs, Delts, A-Phi, DZ, SigEp, etc...fire up for Homecoming '07 :-)
