In the last month, two posts were made about Greek life -
The post I read first has beautiful photographs (almost still lives) of Greeks from an era gone by; elegantly dressed young men, beautifully built and well-maintained Chapter Houses, and socialization (w/o alcohol that we can see).
I had initially written this post being thankful, they did not do the cliche "Animal House" comparison - written or visual. Then, this morning, I saw this post with the ridiculously amazing video from Deke at LSU.
These two posts provide an interesting compare/contrast to the evolution of Greek Life and, more than likely, represent stereotypes and sweeping generalizations at the point in time they were captured.
Today, as a former chapter-president, its makes complete sense why our National Organization worked very hard to dispel the 1980's idealized vision of Greek Life when we were young neophytes of Pi Kappa Phi, with this colloquialism:
"Do you do refer to your Country as a c*nt? Then please do not call my Fraternity a Frat"
Great start. Don't know what happened to Tucker but heard through the blogs he pulled both blogs. A real shame.
