Greeks: “social organizations”

Why are social fraternities and sororities so focused on drinking? I just don’t get it. Greek Council was this evening and all that was discussed was Alumni Weekend and Greek Week… and only in relation to how smashed the alums and current brothers and sisters will be getting that week/end. It’s really NOT cool.
I can see drinking if you’re a fighter pilot or a marine or an army soldier. I mean… you may die tomorrow so you might as well live it up today, right? But affluent college students?? …with nothing else to do but waste money on beer and liquor, get so drunk they can’t walk straight and throw up and urinate all over themselves? (and trust me, I’ve seen all that happen)… and then wake up in the morning complaining of a hangover and wondering WHY they feel so shitty and their grades are so low? Jesus, it makes me sick to my stomach.
What’s even worse is that, since I’m in a Greek organization, people assume I’m a slut who goes out drinking just to get blind-rotten smashed just as much as the girls who give sorority sisters that reputation. Gross. I left the meeting feeling worse than I have in a long time.
Pay-per-Post: $$ blogging

Honestly, I’m not sure what to think of making money blogging. I mean, I’m doing it, but really I should be doing something useful, like homework. I feel like I’m selling out, but if you want to check out this digg it post and see for yourself, feel free. After all, the consumer generated advertising revolution has begun.
Beware, not really work safe.

- As I mentioned in the last post, I’ll be now using this journal to make a bit of money…
- … which I know seems like I’m selling out, but I’m really not, I promise! No one has to READ those…
- … although you may if you want to, of course. Thank you for reading my journal.
- Yager… in the other room… watching The Princess Bride… PRICELESS.
- Payday! Yay. I am happy.
A new thing: Pay-per-Post

So here’s the (new) deal. I will still be doing the Five Reasons each day. However, as a supplement to my income, I have signed up at a Pay-per-Post thingy and will be, from time to time, posting ads so that I can get paid. Just thought you all should know about the change.
Here’s the first:
I found this pretty cool site about Tantra, which has a ton of free content, ebooks, and a picture gallery. Check it out if you like and let me know what you think!
