*WARNING: EXTREMELY BIASED AND CLOSE-MINDED VIEWS AHEAD*
One of these guys was giving a presentation in class and all I could focus on was his shirt. It blew my mind. Here it is, word for word, grammar mistake for grammar mistake:
"There are those born scared and afraid and not willing to show some guts.
For those people I say, don't even think of pledging Omega Psi Phi because only real men become one of the Sons's of Blood and Thunder."
I guess they're not going for substance. The very first sentence was already full of redundancies. After copying it down, I tried to focus on the speaker. He wasn't doing a very good job. He seemed to be going in circles and not getting to the point. Yeah, not all of us are good at public speaking (myself included) but all I could think was, "....I'll bet he designed the shirt."
And the other brothers of BLOOD AND THUNDER approved.
Ok ok, he probably knows the shirt has a few mistakes. He's in college. He's probably read a book or two. But then...why wear it in front of your peers?? And to a class where you know you'll be giving a presentation?!
"They'll understand what we mean."
Sure they will...and they'll make certain judgments about you, too. Like I am right now, when I should be paying attention.
Then I saw Delta Epsilon Psi at the organization fair at Tech. Their banner said:
Delta Epsilon Psi
BROTHERHOOD DISCIPLINE COMMITMENT
If that doesn't scream 'WE HAZE', I don't know what does. If you join this frat and complain about being humiliated, I'll have to balk. I mean, it's not exactly a case of false advertising.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the fraternities are idiots. I'm just saying they need to work on their pitch. And Public Relations. Maybe fire their PR chair.
And not be such tools. XD
