[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that when I was about 18, and joined a top Greek org, and quickly found out that people in the top orgs are really mean and cliquish, and dropped.

These days, I pride myself on being that guy that is good-looking, fit, and charismatic, and gets good jobs, yet prides themselves on prioritizing kindness and intellectualism above all else. Thus, I have a lot of friends that maybe don’t look quite as “cool” as me from the outside, yet are far more interesting and make me feel far happier than my old friends from Greek life. This change of priorities has probably benefited my professional life, because I am able to interact with a wide variety of people and am universally respected, so come promotion time my name is always up. A lot of my old Greek life friends have really boring jobs, only the same old clique from high school, and just generally seem insecure and dissatisfied as looks fade and they realize people outside their group  don’t value their social clout anymore (even as early as late 20’s).

And as for OP’s last, gross point, I have had no trouble dating attractive women either.

That being said, I still advise a mix of being yourself and attending parties and being a college idiot, because becoming a well rounded and happy adult is all about balance. [/quote]

+1 on that last point![/quote]
