Improving our image
 

Hey guys, what's shakin? I'm writing this little note to see if anyone of you can help think of any ways to improve our Greek image. From movies to family and friends, kids have been told for years that faternities are bad and nothing but trouble. They've seen us party and they've heard of our reputations. With low numbers all across the board nationwide, we really need to do something about our image. Gino Ratti once wrote something about getting away from the social aspects of the fraternity and returning to our roots. In the time since the Ratti stone was carved, he watched the emphasis shift towards more social ties and he was unhappy with it. I don't know, maybe he's right and that's what we need to do. Somehow, we need to change the focus from parties and beer back to Honor Super Omnia and all that entales. What do you guys think? Can we do it? Better yet, how can we do it?

Hey!!! I know this way late, but I have lots of ideas on this subject. Email me mgfarmer@radford.edu.

Hey
I think that fraternities can improve their image by both the diversity and caliber of events they hold, and their cumulative GPA (my chapter has the highest GPA on campus, and we're still workin' on improvement). However, I think that for most chapters KDR has a good image in and of itself. We're not all nerds (I mean we don't want to hear people say "can't spell dork without kdr") and we're definately not the hardest of partiers ('cause we don't want people to say "can't spell drunk without kdr"). I believe we have found a happy medium that is condusive to real brotherhood.
