Last Blog Prompt... I think.

Prompt:
Describe your perfect world. What role does (or should) sorority/fraternity life play in achieving your perfect world?

My perfect world is described in two words: World Peace.

My perfect world is rolling green pastures. White daisies peeking out from between the blades of grass. A gentle breeze combing the branches of weeping willows. The sun shining down to warm the earth.

My perfect world is full of people that truly care for the people of today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

I asked my boss what his perfect world encompasses (because I am at work right now) and he said, "Colorado." I asked him why Colorado? He said, "Sunshine, mountains, and no-man's land."
So your perfect world has no people in it?
"Yeah... I guess it does."
So... nature.
It's beautiful. It seems perfect. People come in and ruin it. But in my perfect world, there are still people. And the people don't have to be perfect. They just have to try.

I guess in my perfect world, people help one another because they want to, not because they have to.

• Fraternal life should teach their members to want to give back to their community.
  
  
  

People would never pass someone on the street in need, and ignore them.

• Fraternal life should teach their members to care about all people.
  
  
  

Men would be gentlemen and women would be ladies.

• Fraternal life should teach their members how to respect themselves and others. Men should not be boys, and women should not be girls. We should live up to the standards our forefathers expected from us.
  
  
  

Everyone would be cancer-free, addiction-free, disease-free.

• Fraternal life can help raise awareness and money for causes that aid the research to cure cancer and disease.
  
  
  

Third world countries would be first world countries, but somehow we would find a way to simultaneously maintain and celebrate their culture and lifestyle.

• Fraternal life should teach their members how to appreciate all culture and accept people for the their differences. It should show how each culture is precious, and is never something to be taken for granted.
  
  
  

Racism and stereotypes would be nonexistent.

• Fraternal life should resist stereotypes. We should go against the grain. We should prove that we can be what no one thought we could be. We can prove them wrong, and stereotypes will be no more. If there is a stereotype, it is that fraternity men and sorority women are in charge of their lives, and in control of their future.
  
  
  

Fraternal life should make everyone into the person the person that they have always dreamed the could be. Fraternal life should make normal students into mentors. Fraternal life should create legends out of "ordinary" people.

I caught death.
I've been sick for a week, but I'm finally feeling better.
I have the flu and a double ear-infection, but I went to the hospital on Sunday and got medicine so now I'm only going to go up from here! I hope.
I don't legitimately have H1N1, but I really liked that sign.
So anyways, three cheers for health!
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
I felt like I actually had to cheer, or else I'd jinx myself.

More cute swine flu propaganda.
