This question goes out to all of my fraternal brothers and sisters: What's the hold up?
Dilemma: 1st off every time I ear this word I think about the song that was made by Nelly (rapper) and Kelly (singer). The name of the song is "Dilemma" (Oh what a coincidence)! The chorus of the song goes, "no matter what I do...all I think about is you...even when Im with my boo, boy you know Im crazy over you" and clearly this girl and guy really like each other, but their Dilemma is that she has another guy....(Oh, man, such a sad story wamp wamp wamp)!
on back to the topic of our fraternity/sorority lives...
Dilemma: an argument presenting two or more equally conclusive alternatives against an opponent; a usually undesirable or unpleasant choice (Webster). As leaders we take it upon ourselves to serve the community in any way we can. We are a rear breed, and there are no other organizations like us. We utilize our resources and Opprotunities to promote sisterhood/brotherhood, bring revenue to our communities in need, ecourage scholarship and education, and we build family-like relationships with our brothers and sisters. BUT, our Dilemma (at times) are: negative stereotypes that seem to follow us no matter where we go or how much change we try to make, negative images and brands for individual chapter, unethical and illegal conduct during the intake of our organizations, and most of the time our past and maybe eve an few people always seem to spoil Opprotunities for everyone in the group as a whole.
The sad thing about these types of situtions is that even though our pros may outway our cons, to the public, our cons will always outway our pros. And, alot of the good things we do are overlooked and not acknowledged. The cons and negative things are what people pay most attention in the school newspaper and word of mouth.
Thus, this is why we are the leaders and not those seeking out to find negativity. We are all in our positions for a reason and we can continue to paying our Opprotunities foward all while we slowly but surely work towards deplinishing our Dilemma!
