Eight Brothers Walk Into a Bar…

/walks back in with a frosty beverage

Sorry, that took longer than expected!

I wouldn’t want to attend a weeks worth of near mandatory events! Especially anywhere near the beginning of a school term! Give me a one-day/night “official” rush event and call it good – or split up the events between teams or something! I had classes to attend and homework to figure out…hell, I don’t think I could do that as an alumn!

It’s my understanding that events “hosted” by KKPsi go over better than “Rush” or “Come with KKPsi” – because those often sound like “only come if you’re looking to join”. I don’t remember if we actually stated it or not. But again, I was in the situation where most of the band members knew that if certain people were advertising it/talking/putting up a poster/etc, that it was sponsored by KKPsi. Especially since they were usually allowed to the front by the band director, who would mention that it was something fun/service/etc – and here’s Johnny to explain what it is. Perhaps if the brothers in a particular section were talking it up during warmups or something?

As for reasons to join KKPsi…

I found it to be a very simple decision to make…

Music gave me a lot. It lifted me up when I was down, it gave me friends when I was lonely, it gave me purpose and enjoyment to life. Joining KKPsi, to me, was a given extension of what music had given me – with the added bonus of being able to pay a little of that back.

As for why I stick around? Being alumni or life – is still a continuation of what music (and the fraternity) have given me.

Besides – I’m still indebted.
