OATH.

When I think of the word oath, President Clinton comes to mind.


   ....I know. weird, right?


But its because he lied under oath. So many Americans were hurt when he did that, and he lost so much respect.


  

    And we all believed him! Didn't we? Because we didn't want to face the fact someone we trusted and who      took this oath to serve us and to never lie had just lied to all of our faces. When we join our fraternal/greek community, we take oaths also. We are required to keep these oaths until the day we die. Bill Clinton had it easy - he only had to keep his oath for 2 terms. We have to keep ours for life. Better get prepared!

I realize that us, as Greek college kids, don't feel like we have to keep our promises. An oath is an oath, we will stay committed to our chapters for life, but when it comes to that oath itself, we don't feel as much pressure as Bill Clinton did. He did, eventually, come clean. Now, nobody really takes him seriously. 


I think we should all pretend like we're in the President's position. What if for every mistake or lie you told got you into trouble? What if all your respect relied on that? With just one slip, you could become the laughing stock of the country. Makes you think a little more about what "oath" means to you...huh?
