I still hate Greek Life.

I've discussed my hatred for Greek Life before.
In an entry from over a year ago titled, "Greek Life... a club for people who want to be in a club."
I see it essentially as a program for students who want to be involved... but have no hobbies, interests, skills or personalities.
So instead of joining a club for outdoors, or joining student government... they started these Greek chapters which are nothing more than herds of sheep. Associated for some reason with the Greeks despite having nothing to do with the Greeks. Also they are joined by people who know absolutely nothing about the Greeks but try to trick you by referring to the Greek alphabet.

Anyway...
This entry spawns from annoying sororities on campus... who have charity bake sales and try to make me feel guilty because I refuse to acknowledge or give any money to their cause.
They're just so phony.
If they genuinely cared about the cause... maybe they could all decide to not buy another set of; shirts, sweatpants, hoodies and purses with their letters on them... and they could donate THAT money to charity.
I bet you'd make a lot more money NOT buying 30 some hoodies than you make selling cookies and brownies for a dollar once a month.

But you DON"T give a shit about it.
You only give a shit about your sorority, and your image that only other Greeks care about.
So you have these phony bologna charity bake sales... to try and convince yourselves you're making a difference, and that you matter.

Shit... one of your joining fees alone is probably more than you make with those bake sales.
I know at least one of the sororities is 500 dollars a semester!

Is that like an extra charge offered through the school?

If you're scared you won't make friends... you can pay 500 extra dollars.

I'm already a cheapskate when my friends ask me to cover a beer for them, I wouldn't pay 500 dollars just to be around someone for the semester.

So anyway... fuck you asshole Greek Life douche bags.
If you genuinely gave a shit about any charity, instead of throwing 500 dollars away on "membership," and god knows how much more money away on shirts and so on, which you need to show you're in that group. Well, you could just put that money directly into the charity and save yourself the trouble of baking goods, ordering shirts... and looking like a pathetic asshole every day of your life.

Greek Life... a Club for people who want to be in a club

Fuck the movie, "College."
Fuck it's shitty depiction of college
Fuck the hollywood idea that colleges are completely "Greek Life" driven
Fuck the stupid nobody kids who actually managed to act in this shitty film...
and that stupid fucking nobody from nickelodeon.. ugh

It's so stupid... why do "College" movies insist on depicting college as some huge party, where people continue to form into very specific social cliques... just like in high school... but under the title of Frats and Sororities.
Now... I'm not going to generalize for all colleges... because honestly... I don't know... but Frats and Sororities certainly are not the cornerstone of a social life at my college.
Not at all

Sororities for example... work like this.
2 or 3 bitchy bossy girls decide to start a sorority... solely because they miss High School and being the most popular girl, the prettiest, the captain of the cheerleading squad... they desire to start a group because in the larger college arena... no one gives a shit about them.
So they start a sorority.
They invite other girls to join, but not anymore bitchy bossy girls... because they are the bitchy bossy ones... they started this sorority to run the show.
So they take in naive freshman, a couple weakly social older students, and one... weird girl.. you know, with like a mustache or something to make it seem like they aren't turning people away based on looks.
So they have all these girls that look up to them, and follow them... they feel important... people notice them as the leaders of a squadron of girls.
Then they all spend time together... the bitchy bossy girls love being the center of something... and eventually before graduating apprentice the next 2 or 3 bitchy bossy ringleaders.

No one outside the sorority gives a shit about it... it doesn't matter...
it's just a useless bunch of tables being pushed together during lunch... so all the girls can sit together and look involved... but really be in 6 different cliques within their useless clique.
People aren't pining to be involved...
There isn't a group of girls turned away from the sororities who form their own ugly girl sorority...
nobody gives a shit..
because nobody wants to pay to be involved with a bunch of nobodies who have to apply to be part of a group of friends.

as for frats.
pretty much the same thing.
a bunch of nobody guys who have no real use in college... miss being noticed and start a frat.
However, this group is less set on "leading males" and more set on just having a bunch of cool guys around you.
You apply to see if you're up to drinking beer and watching football with these guys (and paying to call it a frat) and once a year doing one community service thing so it doesn't seem completely pointless.
These guys don't "Run" the college...
these guys aren't throwing THEE parties to go to.
Yeah right... "THEE" parties to go to involve them inviting as many freshman girls as they can over and trying their hardest to impress them with their apartment and their ability to drink.
After 2 months into school.. .even the dumb frosh girls are over them and the only people who care about their existence are the few frosh guys who can't wait to join so they can take part in this binge next year...

I love to criticize Greek Life because I have no desire to be involved in it.
There's no point...
There are tons of clubs and sports on campus...
Those are REAL groups.
Greek Life to me is "A Club For People Whose Only Interest Is To Be In a Club"

As for the fact that it looks good on a resume...
It does actually...
But I think it has more to do with the fact that Employers see you as an easy to control sheep.
