Easy to say

It's easy to say "just don't work," but that's not always possible. Nor would it help in the long run. I was a vice president of my house and I was the person responsible for handing out fines if someone missed an event and I assure you I went easy on people who had to work. Plus, we only required 60%-70% or so of the pledge class to attend socials and special fun events, so very often fines weren't even levied. I also know that when it came time for me to apply to internships, employers LOVED the fact that I had a job part of freshman year, and all of sophomore and junior year because it showed I could budget my time and had a strong work ethic. If possible you might want to try to get along first semester of freshman year without a job while the pledge demands are greatest, but get a job later. Just a suggestion. I also remember arguing at chapter that if we made frivolous events mandatory but also expected our pledges to have stellar grades, we were sending a mixed message.
