NOT TO GO THROUGH RUSH
$5: "Being Greek just isn't for me."
Ok, Ok. That's a pretty good one.
Maybe there really isn’t anything in it for you.
You won’t make any friends.
You won’t gain any leadership experience.
You probably won't be able to start making important
contacts for your professional career.
And don’t even consider making some of the best
years of your life even better. Yep—there’s definitely
nothing for anybody.
There’s also some first rate beach front property in
Kansas you might be interested in.
