Meeting people, different people, in many different
situations. I think one of the most important things that happened to me in the
last five years was getting to understand people for who they are and, and
seeing through their eyes. A great learning experience for me was joining the
brotherhood, or fraternity, as they call it. The fraternity that I rushed in
the fall of 2008 was SigEp . I had a wonderful experience with the fraternity,
the best part was being able to decipher my way out of hard situations. Every
week we would quick be in a very tightknit schedule we would need for meetings
on Sunday nights. We would have basketball practice once use these we would
have homework the next night together we would do good deeds for the community
and of course we would party on Thursday nights. I met about 27 guys on one
night, first name last name favorite hobby. Today I don't really talk to any of
them anymore. I hate to downplay or make this seems any less important but I do
want really want to recognize that it was a very good experience that helped
change the way that I will interact with everybody in the future. When you
bring a bunch of guys from different origins into one place you immediately
recognize differences. There were some guys that I played basketball with, some
that I only cut hair, some that were interested in doing homework together, and
of course there were some that were cockbloxks. It was easy to see that there
were some guys that you will only see on Thursday nights, that have no value to
the fraternity and to the team. Some that I only saw on Thursday nights where
there was a party atmosphere and a lack of sobriety. And it always went down
the same way, hey what's up, cheers. I think I know how to see people and their
motivations and if they have an agenda. I met some friends who no matter what
were always busy, and never really wanted to hang out. They found that I had a
lot of girls coming to my party and without an invitation they show up. It's I
want to discuss a certain neutrality I had some people, but I respect everybody
and I was always a good host. I've known Indian international students, who
don't consume alcohol bring a $40 bottle of vodka to my party, just because it
was the right respectable thing to do. And I also know people who I consider my
very very close friends, always coming to the party late without contribution
or chipping me money.I have paid more than my share in having these parties
come to life.. Throwing a party I released its began to understand the stresses
and the sort of problems that occur mentally when throwing it. You want to
invite this person but and you don't want their friends. It's not that I don't
like your friends, but will my friends get along with your friends?. I
developed a sort of rationale when it comes to your friends or a friend's
friend. Just let's say somebody is neutral that means I don't know you nobody
knows you, and you have no sort of contribution to the party as an you can come
in and you can creep on girls, and drink alcahol. You take that same person,
and when he walks in the door and everybody sees him he now has a bottle
alcohol in his hands or 820 pack of beers. He also comes in with two hot girls.
It makes a big difference. This person went from negative to positive. It must
be stressful being a party promoter, especially one with a lot of friends that
want to party. I wish I can get a lot of people with me on the same page but it
is think it's just something that is too much to ask for. The party last
Saturday went very well, I understand there were a lot of people that said they
were combatant.com a lot of people that said they were going to help me out but
did not and the many other problems that occur with parties. I did not want to
set it up as a going away effort. But the few people that did come did
contribute, and had a good time, we will always member the pad. It's called on.
College was a lot of fun for me. I can't believe it ended two days ago. I
wonder what fraternity will do for me in the future. Where will the connection resume.
And speaking of resume where will the value, in terms of it resuming on my
resume. The dynamics of partying and having a good time, is a study of its own.
What really bothers me, is in one of my classes I sat next to a devout Muslim.
This guy had better grades than me, he was very outgoing, and he really badly
wanted the job. I said I helped set him up with an interview with an employer.
What really is sad, is that I knew he would not fit in in the workplace. It's
really sad, because after they get past past that you have a good GPA, in an
interview setting they are now trying to find out if this candidate is one that
we can take out to happy hour and entertained. To these very religious, who do
not consume alcohol, it is outrageous. It is unfair. But, we have to understand
we are only dealing with human beings. Why would I study partying inhumane
dynamics,?

Because, it may be very helpful in my future dealings with the
employer. Many deals get done on the golf course. Workplace relationships are
something of study…and I intend to get to know this better.
