One thing I would like to see change in Greek Life before I graduate would be the betterment of relations between fraternities. In the last few years, there have been many acts of animosity between chapters that is getting a little out of control in my opinion. By doing more events with other chapters and actually begin to get rid of the us v. them mentality, we can progress and create a more positive Greek community.

Behind the podium

Being in an exec position, I can relate to some of the problems that author faced. There are times when I feel like I am the only one caring about what is going on and am the only one left to plan events. When I get to feeling like that, I fall into an apathetic mood and really just want to stop caring.  I would tell the author to try and not let the little stuff get to him. Those brothers just don't understand what it's like being in charge and put too much blame on you.

Looking back...

Since I have been in office, my chapter has accomplished a lot, but the thing that I am most proud of would have to be our participation in Dance Marathon. This event was completely new to us and without any prior experience, we decided to participate and get involved. In doing so, we had most of our chapter donate $25 and over half attended the event. In doing this, I feel that we are becoming more involved with Ball State and in the community. Even if I'm not in office next year, I would still like to see our involvement with Dance Marathon continue and improve.

Oh Women........

I absolutely think women influence the behavior of men. The only reason we have parties are to meet girls and everything we do revolves around getting women to like us. I think if the women changed the way they reacted to how men behaved, the men would quickly change how they acted.
Three biggest effects on guys:

• Following risk management policy
• women not attending degrading parties
• girlfriend asking if you would haze your child

Three things guys could care less about:

• The girl confronting you about trying to hook up with her friend
• The kind of shirt they wear
• the "degrading" serenade 

 The one thing that a girl could do to affect the behavior of a guy would be to tell him he's being stupid or insensitive, and actually mean what they are saying. Far too often, girls tell a guy he's being an idiot one night and the next day act like that behavior was okay because he was drunk. If they were true to their belief, then the guys might just change their behavior.
