I admittedly am not a fan of Greek life. I attended Greek Shows at Xavier and Dillard Universities while a student at Our Lady of Holy Cross and they were always fun. However, I had been volunteering and serving others since I was in elementary school so it made no sense to me to pay an organization to serve others. It just sounded ridiculous and full of hype. So my son starts attending Dillard University in 2013 and I wanted him to live on campus to experience "college life". Little did I know that he would be recruited by the Greeks. When he mentioned as a freshman that some guys from Alpha Phi Alpha told him he should look at them I was dismissive and firmly stated he needed to keep his focus. During the sophomore year his interest intensified. My husband and I presented this negative picture of fraternities, but he was firm in his desire to pledge [for a sense of brotherhood]. All of his application requirements were in order and the chapter decided not have a line last
WE ARE MAGNETS DRAWING OR REPELLING PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS INTO AND AWAY FROM OUR LIVES. LOSING FOCUS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN DIRECTION. LONLINESS AND CONFUSION CREEP IN AND WE FEEL AS THOUGH GOD HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT US AS OUR PRAYERS SEEMINGLY GO UNANSWERED. GET OUTTA UR WAY IS AN INTROSPECTIVE JOURNEY AND INNER QUEST TO CONSISTENTLY SEE, FEEL AND KNOW GOD'S PRESENCE IN THE MIDST OF LIVING LIFE. SO GET OUTTA UR WAY AND EXPERIENCE THE BLISSFUL LIFE YOU WERE CREATED TO ENJOY.
