A Tiger Can't Change Its Stripes...And Neither Can You!

Ok, straight to the point today. This post is for all those who become Greek and suddenly think they're the hottest thing since sliced bread. And no i'm not talking about anyone in particular...but if the shoe fits...wear it. Having experienced the transition from non-Greek to Greek personally, I know what it feels like to suddenly have your popularity increased exponentially seemingly overnight (for some LOL). But...i'm here to let you know that if you were a lamester before you were Greek...you're still a lamester after you become Greek, now you just wear letters. If anything this makes you more lame because you somehow thought (or still think) that now you're something or someone that you're not. If you watch those who get the big head after crossing, you can bet your bottom dollar that they were a relative NOBODY before. The symptoms of success are a surefire sign that being popular is a new phenomenom to this person, and no organization is excluded.

To use a sports reference, when players who RARELY score a touchdown or hit a shot finally do so, they over celebrate. Which in turn prompts the players around them who are used to excelling to tell them to "act like you've been here before." So to all those people who found their swag in the same place you got your letters...you're still wack. And now you're making your organization look wack. Stay in your pocket and be true to yourself. Bask in your accomplishment because most of the time it's not easy, but DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT act like you're a rockstar. Somewhere off to the side there's someone laughing at you because they've been there done that before they were greek.

As Jay-Z once said: "No matter where you go, you are what you are player. And you can try to change but that's just the top layer. Man, you was who you was before you got here..."

If this post offends you...then i'm probably talking about you.

Ahh, that feels better.
