<strong>Subject:</strong><br />changing values... why even commit?<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Changing values? Traditionally, the decision to join a greek house inclueded the appeal of having a "family" that has your back. Sisterhood and brotherhood was based on loyalty and accepting- and embracing your legacies is part of that tradition. It keeps the chapter strong over the long haul. I am hearing of multiple situations where legacies were cut in various OU houses this year. The advantage and incentive of joining (besides party invitations) is the long term network of connections built by loyalty to the same organization and to the shared character and values in which it was founded. That generally includes welcoming your sons and daughters years from now if they should choose to follow your footsteps. If it is now acceptable to dismiss the legacies during rush, what is the incentive to commit yourself? I'm guessing if this key character trait is missing, the long term networking value and loyalty of the house is weak as well. While parties may provide some short-term entertainment, ultimately that kind of bond is superficial and not be worth the commitment. I would just make sure your house matches your values and make sure it's worthy of your time. If you don't find that in a house, being an independent may afford you some extra time to find true friends with similar values. If your already in a house, strengthen your bond and yourr name by honoring your commitment.... Or you could offer a disclaimer to those that want more.
