Giving Back Greek style

It's that time of year again.

Whereas plenty of duders find that this particular holiday season is nothing new, more of the same ad infinitum, I on the other hand feel quite differently.

I'm kinda bummed that I'm still doing most of this work from the outside but I've been sending Christmas cards out left & right for the past few days now. And such small acts of kindness truly mean something to me since I'm still showing my love for my Greek counterparts all over the place. If that isn't enough, I'm doing this out of the goodness out of my heart, going the extra mile to show my support is still alive, still strong, that I as an alumni have been keeping my fave sororities in my thoughts the entire time & that they're appreciated as well.

(side note: Some duders are out there, thinking, "I wish I could do the same." Well, for the men in question, it's not that hard to accomplish, whether one's an undergrad or alumni; if you truly respect women & give them plenty of heartfelt thought, doing the little things to cheer them up & make them smile shouldn't be difficult at all. Or should I say, it isn't & never was meant to be challenging; it's not beyond any dude in his right mind to take some time out of his day, go to the nearest Hallmark store & find some cards to send to his fave sorority sisters. And they'd loooove you for doing just that, guys.)

For others, it's a bit corny to send Christmas cards out to the above women so they don't bother. But if I were a corresponding secretary/secretary for a fraternity who receives cards from this sorority or that, I would have the heart to respond in kind, to show (once again!) that they are appreciated. Not only that, but they're also loved as well. To just write them off is plain wrong if not totally beat down (i.e. uncool).

For me, sending Christmas cards out is quite a whole other story. It's not only closing off every sorority sister's day on a cheerful & high note; it's also showing that though I'm far away, they're still close (& dear) to my heart & will always be.
