why not??? saweetness anyways

There’s too much ritual nonsense associated with it, and it would require more additional work than I have time to do.

“Community service” kind of stuff, on and off campus, is the kind of stuff that they do, amongst other things.

Joining it requires some nonsense where you’re all passing around a candle from the president, the treasurer, and to each other while saying silly nonsense oaths that are supposed to make everyone feel special. Me, I just want a hand shake at most and a hello. There’s no need for all of that other fluff.

There are also formal speeches about how the new president (and so) of the group are taking on a big responsibility and this and that, and how none of us can do anything alone, and so on. A simple “Let’s help each other out” would be a lot more efficient.

It’s an honor society, right? Why do they need the big speech and initiatory side show to be told what’s what and welcome aboard? Aren’t we supposed to be smart enough to understand this stuff?

It struck me as a bunch of kids doing silly, unnecessary things.
