stop the bull people.

Dearest PNMs/Man PNMS whatever you call pledges before the pledge,
Stop worrying.
I'm damn serious.
You will most likely end up where you need to be. No one on campus cares about what letters you wear, and if they do they're not worth your time.
Go where you feel most comfortable. It doesn't matter who has the nicest house, or the richest members, or the most OOS state members.
If you're a black and from the north and an old row house likes you, then go for it.
If you're an instate triple old row legacy, but you prefer a new row house, then go for it.
It's time to stop allowing the stereotypes control our greek system. We're all greek and we're all in it for one thing: the bond we create.
Sure, the parties are fun, and we all want to be able to plaster our letters everywhere, but in the end, that shouldn't be the reason you join. You should join for the lasting friends you make and the doors it opens up. When we divide ourselves based on petty old standards, we appear weak and superficial to the gdis, when we know that's not true. Take pride in whatever letters you wear, and support any other letters you see.
Panhellenic Love is not just some cliche saying, it should be something we all strive to have.
