Back like cook crack lol

Hello to all...I know it has been a minute since my last post got a little caught up in life. Anyway I was in class last week ;-) ;-) and there was a panel discussion that discussed many important things concerning the Greek community. The panel was quite insightful if I do say so myself because they answered a lot of questions that people had concerning their own chapters. For me it was just crazy to see how many similarities different chapters have because it was like everybody had similar issues. I am apart of NPHC while some others are apart of the IFC n etc but at the end of the day we are all Greek, and by the end of the discussion that idea really hit home.

I think that is something that we often over look as a Greek community. We are apart of our different chapters and councils, but at the end of the day we are all still Greek and have many of the same goals and issues. After listening to people from different fraternities speak about things they want to do within the community or programs they want to put on, some of the ideas are similar to what my chapter discussed. More cross council collaborations should be encouraged because it would be a Greek look for the community to see our Greek life together and helping to break the stereotypes of Greek life.

Alot of the panel just spoke about their own personal experiences and was mainly just another voice of guidance to help us further the growth of our respected chapters. I found it interesting just listening and observing what all was being said. The main thing i found interesting was when Jordan said you find yourself when you lose yourself in trying to help others. That quote stuck out with me the most just because it makes you think about who you are as a person. You think you know yourself until presented with some sort of adversity. It was just interesting hearing that being said from a student versus some wise old adult.

Idk I really enjoyed the panel though. Wish I had it on tape to show my chapter.
