Drafting. Drafting. Drafting
I haven't actually started my paper yet because I'm sort of at a loss as to where to start. I almost feel like I have too much information and that when I actually start writing that it will be a little awkward. I hope to accomplish informing my auidence which are my classmates, and my professor of course. I suppose if this paper wasnt work a class my topic would be one that I would write for anyone who was a member of a greek organization, or the parents of those young audlts. My major point of this paper is to illistrate how society has taken hazing and turned it into a glamourous process, when people have actully died from this! I plan to use the show Greek, and the different movies that show "normal" fraternity or sorority life to show that being a member of the greek life community does NOT mean we drink every night, sleep with who ever and what ever... and also that hazing is not something that a man or woman should do to gain intrance into a greek organization. A sisterhood/brotherhood is about loyalty, love, and trust. If you have to be physically or emotionally abused to gain someones loyalty, love and trust.. run.. run very far away.

Meanwhile in math 1710...
I'm sitting here in this math class waiting for my professor to stop lecturing, because she obviously doesn't know that constant lecturing doesn't get anyone anywhere. I honestly feel bad for her at times because I come to class, sit here and basically text the whole class period and never take a single note.. Because the online homework is what actually teaches me.. So why should we have to pay for these professors to just sit here and ramble on and on about meaningless formulas to equations that I more than likely will never use in my life. If I ever own my own business I will hire an accountant- simple as that.
Maybe this is what is wrong with society these days? We sit around doing nothing and then when trying to become successful we look for other people to help us get to the success we so earnestly desire. I sort of feel bad. But then again, I don't. An accountant usually loves math.. Because if not then why did they choose this as their major and then now have a degree in that subject?
These may be random thoughts.. But oh well. It took up a good fifteen minutes of my time just sitting here.. Waiting for class to be let out.

Nov. 13
Organization is usally a problem for me when it comes to just about anything, but for some reason I'm doing fairly well with this paper! I'm using online folders on my computers documents file. Also several of my sources are shows and movies, so I have them stored in my Instant Que on my netflix account. (:

Election madness
Now that it's been a few days since the recent election has happened, I thought it would be great to talk about how crazy facebook became on tuesday night when the results were announced.
As I logged onto my facebook my news feed was swarmed with angry republicans posts about how they were moving to canada, or that the world was ending. It got me thinking about how these young people became such strong republicans. Was it their parents who taught them their values or ideas? Or are those their own beliefs that they have educated them selfs on. I personally was raised democratic and the older I became I started to actually research what each presidents values were and compair them to my own. The saddest part about all of the facebook posts you see about the election are so uneducated!! These young people are just going with what their parents tell them to, and aren't actually looking into the FACTS about the different parties. It drives me crazy!

Sarwarity Girls
I've lived in Tennssee my whole life, and being a southern girl usualy comes with the tradition of being in a sorority. Although neighter of my parents were greek, all of my cousins on my mothers side were. So once I being a college woman, I felt like i jus had to go through recruitment.. well, to make a long story short, I fell in love with being in a sorority.
Most of my friends now are greek, only because those are the people who I'm around mostly, but a majority of my friends from high school are seriously anti-greek and I never knew why.
It's probably due to the way pop culture makes us sorority women look. I can go on youtube and look up at least one thousand videos of people making fun of us sorority girls and honestly making us all look like all we do is drink, talk shit about people, and have sex...
First off, I do not drink.. I didn't really drink before KD and i especially do not now..
Secondly, I'm one of the most honest people ever created... not everyone fits into the seterotype!
So please, normal non greek people.. give us a chance!
