Homecoming Week, Part Three

In this installment on Homecoming Week, I wanted to touch on one of the most awesome pregame occasions where living it up, having fun & good times across the board are taken to a whole new level on Homecoming altogether: tailgating.


So when it comes to wearing letters on Saturday or no, particularly for those fraternities participating in the action, the words "respect" & "courtesy" once more reappear in full force. I'm not saying we don't have to go tailgating with our letters on (with most sororities, this is a pretty strong issue & would take another article to delve into); it's not like that at all. What I'm saying is: if we're planning to wear our letters, we should wear them in a way that (reiterating one of the last posts I did for August 2007) emphasizes courtesy, respect & most of all the very fact that we're proud to wholeheartedly represent our respective houses.


But then again, there are those duders who'd rather act the fool with their letters on, turning into raging wastoids within the timeframe of a few hours or so...those are the guys who just don't get the words "courtesy" & "respect" even if they looked them in the face. Yet I'd like to hope that these same men would give their letters some thought before going into "hellified" or "Irish drunk" mode...seriously, if any guys are wearing their letters, they should be worn well & of course with heartfelt pride!! True, we love to have fun, we like to get our drink on (& even more so on Homecoming Weekend) but when it comes down to it, our letters should be worn respectfully, to prove that we're not just the stereotypical party animals non-Greeks take us as being.

At any rate, if we're wearing our letters to tailgating, wear them well, wear them with pride, with respect, with courtesy & with love!!
