Incongruenices of AGD and the Greek Community

We all must admit at some point in our college careers that our particular organization is not doing all that it should be. We are all proud of our accomplishments and our contribution to the community itself through sisterhood and service. However, we are kidding ourselves if we believe if have no faults. 




How many TG's does your particular organization participate in per quarter?
                How many events involving alcohol does you organization participate in per quarter?
                           How many classes are skipped each week because of lack of sleep due to events?
                How many service hours did you really have last quarter?
How many TG themes have been not exactly "representative" of the "classiness" we possess?


We need to own up to ourselves. TGs are fun, of course they are. Everyone loves going to them, especially because we get to meet others in the Greek community. 


I know my sorority, in particular, is not allowed to attend certain events if they require alcohol. Even service events.


I also know that some of my sisters will not attend class or other academic commitments because they are lacking sleep or aren't feeling well due to an optional activity they chose to attend the night before. Thus, grades will suffer. 


I also have a feeling most of the service hours reported do not actually correspond to the amount you really had....


And finally, I know TG themes are one of the best parts about being in Greek life. However, we can all admit that the themes give us an excuse to dress exceptionally "different" than how we usually dress.

I know that these 5 topics aren't exactly representative of my sorority. However, most of my sisters feel that we are still classy and respected. Even though we like to participate in TGs, I'm sure we can find a way to make the involvement more representative of ourselves. But we cannot be blind to the fact that we may not be an exact cut out of the way we're expected to be. If we can all work together to change this, we can continue to make Greek life an exceptional way of life.
