You're being close-minded by refusing to have anything to do with someone who is greek, it is a part of our lives not the defining characteristic of who we are. If you're not in it, why does it bother you? You clearly don't know what greeks pay for because you aren't in the system and are completely unwilling to have anything to do with it. You keep repeating the phrase socially inept, yet many greeks are very social people who have friends both within and outside of greek life.

Last night, I had a sorority formal and my dues paid for some cute decorations and the rum I drank. In an hour, we're having Thanksgiving dinner with our brother frat and my dues paid for the food we're eating. Grow up.

Not for friends. Dummy.

I definitely had a formal fail the other night… ugh… lol :)

My friend broke lesson number three. We went to a day-glo hosted by my best friends Frat and my friend was talking to one of the brothers, but he had to work the event that night so he couldn't hang out with her, she thought he was "being weird" because if she tried to talk to him he told her "sorry, I'm working right now, later", and in her drunkenness she found and made-out with another brother RIGHT IN FRONT OF the guy she was talking to. Well It sucked for me because anytime I'd go to visit her we would hang out with my besties Frat, but since she was no longer welcome over there I had to feel guilty about choosing either her or him to hang out with.

If you haven't rushed/pledged .. then why does the Greek system even bother you that much? Why go out of your way to bash something that you obviously know nothing about?

I'm not even Greek affiliated,but, geez…the whole "paying for your friends" argument is SO tired.

/rant.
