Funniest Website EVER

This guy started a website called greeksdogreatthings.com. Sadly, there is no pictures of Greek food or broken plates. This guy is taking this so seriously. PEOPLE do great things. Yes there are good Frat boys and there are bad frat boys. There are good jocks and bad jocks. There are good nerds and bad nerds. Wait…there are no bad nerds, just funny hip ones.

Here are some excerpts from that site:

TALK ABOUT GREAT THINGS YOUR FRATERNITY OR SORORITY HAS DONE

Click on “Talk About Your Chapter” above now to write on this website (which the entire world can see). Let the world know the great things that you’re organization has accomplished!

WHY DID I START THIS WEBSITE?

I started this website in response to the tons of negative publicity that has been brought onto the Greek community at San Diego State University due to a huge DEA drug bust that took place on Tuesday May 6th. Of the many students arrested at SDSU, a select few were involved in fraternities on campus.

Needless to say, the entire international media from multiple countries jumped on the opportunity to point out the flaws of “Frats” and basically pinned a lot of the blame of the drug situation at SDSU onto the “Frats”. A conclusion like that is just sad and really disappointing!

WHERE IS THE MEDIA WHEN GREEKS DO GREAT THINGS?

The answer to this question is…NOWWHERE! The media doesn’t emphasize or show lots of support for the positive things that Greeks do simply because that type of story is not a sellable product for the news channels.  Controversy sells in this nation, and Greeks doing bad things is quite a controversy.

• The media is at SDSU right now because a crime was committed and Greeks have been connected to it in one way or another
• The media will not be at SDSU next time the Greeks pull together another $60,000 to donate to the Wheelchair foundation
• The media will not be at SDSU the next time we mobilize a fraternity to volunteer and the annual walk for Autism
• The media will not be there in full force next time Greeks are doing something positive

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! TELL THE WORLD THE GREAT THINGS YOU’VE DONE!

Make a posting (click here) to this website for the entire world to see. Talk about the Great things that your fraternity or sorority has done, either at your local campus or at a national level.

• Community service projects

• Helping those in need in the community

• Donating 1000’s of dollars to good cause

THE WORLD CARES….BUT YOU JUST NEED TO TELL THEM

I wrote an article on another website I manage (click here) about the event at SDSU. There were over 7000 visitors from around the entire country in the first 48 hours that the article was online. People from all over the world read the article and numerous people commented on the article in support of the great things that fraternities and sororities have done.

The World Is Watching!

• The Entire USA
• China
• Europe
• Australia
• South Africa
• WORLDWIDE SUPPORT!

Tell the world about the great things that Greeks have done.
Tell the world that the media portrayal of what being Greek is all about is simply wrong.

The World Is Watching Greeks Right Now…Let’s Make This a Positive Thing!

Post your story now ( click here ) The world is watching, the world cares, and the media needs to realize that it’s possible to spread a positive message around the entire world even with the media working against us trying to say that Greeks are a negative influence.

Greeks Unite! Let’s Stay Positive!

   May 9th, 2008 at 5:08 am My name is Nick Kwok. I’m a representative of Sigma Phi Epsilon Cal Delta Chapter of San Diego State University.

   Before I touch on what our fraternity does for the community, I just want to say how much of a positive impact Greek Life has had on my life and hopefully has on many others.

   I was a bit skeptical about going Greek because of stereotypes that I’ve seen and heard on television and whatnot–In fact, the first semester of college, I completely avoided it. I was going through a really tough time in my life after my first semester of college and decided that I needed to make a change. I decided to go Greek but in all honesty, the top reason I went Greek wasn’t for brotherhood at the time, definitely not for the parties considering that I do not drink or do drugs, but it was for a spiteful reason because of a certain someone. What’s funny is that this spiteful act quickly became one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life–it has completely transformed my life from a depressed, lackadaisical, suicidal wreck into helping me become the charismatic, diligent human being who is on the everlasting pursuit of excellence that I am now.

   The fraternity that I am in is a non-hazing fraternity and our number one goal is to create balanced leaders for the world and open the door of opportunity for every single brother in our house. We believe that going Greek is a quest to develop a greater of self(everything from self-esteem to self-criticism). In becoming Greek, I have discovered a completely new meaning to the word brotherhood in that it is not just being friends with a person but it is learning to be responsible for one another, the desire to help a brother in need and having a passion to see each and every brother succeed. Going Greek has given me lifelong friends. Going Greek has taught me that nothing is impossible if one truly commits himself to excellence and manages his time well. Being in a fraternity has taught me how to set and achieve high goals, how to push myself and what it takes to be a successful and inspirational leader.

   Going Greek has completely turned my life around and I’m sure it has done the same for many of my fellow brothers.

   Not many people see or hear about the community service events, the outreach for leadership and just positive sides of Greek life in general. The moment something negative happens in the Greek community, media, students, faulty and staff and sometimes even fellow Greek are quick to jump to conclusions, resort to stereotypes and pin the blame on the whole Greek community while the whole community may be completely oblivious to the wrongful acts that are being committed. There are so many accomplishments SDSU Greeks have achieved that go undermined. Here are a few of ours:

   We are proud to say that we push each member to be scholars and have had the highest GPA on campus for multiple consecutive semesters.

   We have endeavors to help the community as much as possible. Some of the events that we have participated in are:

   -Bowling with those who suffer from Cognitive Disorders
   -Repainting the U.S.S. Midway
   -Setup and helped to make the Art Galla for Kids at KBPS television station a success
   -The M.S. walk annually
   -Jenny’s Walk for children with special needs
   -YMCA
   -Fundraised money from Philanthropies that went towards SDSU and Little League Hilltoppers
   -Big Brothers and Big Sisters of San Diego

   We are always looking for ways to give to the community.

   Many members from SigEp hold positions in a newly created committee called ‘The Green Love’ Committee which is committed to improve the sustainability of the San Diego State Campus and surrounding communities.

   Our fraternity promotes leadership in and outside of the house and we have many members who hold AS positions as well as presidencies and vice presidencies of campus clubs.

   We are a fraternity based on the love of God and we encourage our members to pursue their faiths together as well as live faithfully.

   San Diego State has recently become involved with Greek Intervarsity which is a way for all Greeks to come and explore faith together. Needless to say, my fraternity is the reason I have developed such an amazing relationship with God for I have brothers who will guide myself and each to live diligently and faithfully as beseech the day.

   This is just our fraternity alone. Greek life at SDSU only wants to give to the community and to others. My heart and prayers truly go out to those who have suffered from the recent turn of events with the drug bust.

   A special thank you to Jon for giving Greeks the opportunity to show and speak to the world about our endeavors to the campus, community and members.

2. Entire SDSU Greek Community Says:
   May 9th, 2008 at 12:35 pm On Monday night (the day before the “drug bust”), SDSU had the Unity Night awards night where fraternities and sororities were recognized for their accomplishments.

   It needs to be noted that it was at Unity Night where it was announced that the entire Greek Community at SDSU was successful in raising $30,000 for the wheelchair foundation. Not only that, but a few members of the Greek system used their business networking skills (which they learn in the Greek system) to get a community organization to match our donation!

   That means the entire Greek community (all SDSU houses working together) was responsible for a $60,000 donation to the wheelchair foundation.

   That shows that Greeks can do great things, not just as individual houses, but working together as a Greek Community

   May 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm The Sigma Nu Fraternity at SDSU raised $5,150 for the American Red Cross Fire Relief Fund in November of 2007 to benefit the thousands of families that lost their homes in October of 2007. Most money was donated straight from alumni of the chapter and families of current members. Sigma Nu (along with several other SDSU Greeks) also sent over a dozen active members to the Qualcomm evacuation site the day the fires broke out.
