??To pledge or not to Pledge?? Posted on 07-02-2004
PimpTight™

Ok, I got a friend. We'll call this friend ****....close, yea, Pimpclose. Anyhow, Pimpclose is interested in becoming apart of a particular organization, but he's worried about the process interfering with his school and grades. the reason that Pimpclose is so concerned about not letting his grades drop is because Pimpclose wants to go to Graduate school after he graduates, and he knows that this upcoming year is the ONLY year that he has to get his gpa up as high as possible. Pimpclose understands that becoming part of a certain organization isn't as simple as writing your name down on a sheet of paper or just putting on a shirt. It takes time and effort, plus Pimpclose is going to have a job as well so he'll have 3 responsibilites. Now, in ya'll personal experiances. Is it an unreasonable fear that Pimpclose's grades can't survive him going thru the process as well as working and school? P.S. Ya'll can respond here, I'll let Pimpclose know what ya'll think.

Well tell your "friend" that if he wants it bad enough then he will be willing to work for it :wink: I can only speak for myself when I say it can be done; you, um I mean, your "friend" just has to be that serious about it! Believe me, there were times where I wanted to give up and I shed plenty of tears but I wanted it just that bad. Anything worth having is worth working hard for and even thinking back on difficult times, I'd do it all over again 1,000 times in a heartbeat if I had to :wink: If you *damn* your "friend" wants it bad enough he will go for it and continue to do what he has to do :wink: :arrow:
GOD FORBID [shudders violently]... more power to you lol... shyeeet... :arrow:
LOL! Okay maybe I was exaggerating. :lol:

Well...... I think you basically have to know yourself and what you can and can't handle. I think you should think long and hard about this situation because pledging is definitely not a joke. Umm.. dream girl I dont think I could do it again ...definitely not 1000 times :lol: .love ya anyway. I think you should tell your friend that to make sure that if he does decide to pledge it is in his heart because it is going to be rough. I love Alpha Kappa Alpha!!!!!!
