A Challenge to the Greek World...Unity perhaps?

A few fun facts about me:
1) I am a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta, Sorority Incorporated. Spring 2009, Z.S. Lifeline, #5, Zeta Pearl, ZKA PURRciZion
2) I love my sororz and frat. Blu Phi family is a bond like no other
3) I believe in Greek unity.

I love my friends who are proud members of other organizations. Why? Because in the end we're all striving to better the world and hold ourselves to higher standards. It's the truth.
Not gonna lie, I feel Blu and White does it best though =P
But real talk... I have love for everyone.

Knowing all this , you can imagine the smile that crept across my face while reading this on one of my profytes FB page':

Proud To be A Greek

When an Alpha looks in the mirror,
Looking back he sees,
A man of Vision, Stature and Integrity.

When an AKA looks in the mirror,
Looking back she sees,
A woman of Virtue, Education, and Dignity.

When a Kappa looks in the mirror,
Looking back he sees,
A man of Intelligence, Service, and Possibility.

When an Omega looks in the mirror,
Looking back he sees,
A man of Strength, Heart, and Masculinity.

When a Delta looks in the mirror,
Looking back she sees,
A woman of Sophistication, Love, and Excellency.

When a Sigma looks in the mirror,
Looking back he sees,
A man of Honor, Purpose, and Ability.

When a Zeta looks in the mirror,
Looking back she sees,
A woman of Trust, Action, and Ingenuity.

When a SGRho looks in the mirror,
Looking back she sees,
A woman of Care, Soul, and Humility.

When an Iota looks in the mirror,
Looking back he sees,
A man of Distinction, Progress, and Utility.

When a Greek looks in the mirror,
Looking back they see,
A long line of struggling brothers and sisters,
To ensure our freedom and equality.

When a Greek looks in the mirror,
Looking back they see,
The ability to change the world
In each of their founders' dreams.

When a Greek looks in the mirror,
Looking back they see,
The eyes of a nation focusing
On what this world was meant to be.

When a Greek looks in the mirror,
Looking back they shouldn't see,
Colors, calls and symbols
Misused to fracture and degrade a community.

When a Greek looks in the mirror,
Looking back they should see,
The collective gathering of the Divine Nine
To unite and encourage
A nation in need

Because

When a Non-Greek looks at a Greek,
Looking back they should see,
A helping hand,
An encouraging heart,
And a vision to succeed.

So here it is: I challenge all of my fellow Greeks, GDI friends, and whoever reads this to remember it.

The third day of Kwanzaa is Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together.

I'm a day early I know. But to be early is to be on time. I know it'll be hard, and clearly it won't be perfect; but my challenge to Greeks this year is to set aside differences in organizations and strive to work as one to address the ills of society. Lead by example and help others along your path.

I'm gonna try really hard. I hope you do too.
