student clubs/orgs need to step up

It seems to me, as someone who is a student and also employed at CSULA, that the students involved in the approx. 150+ student orgs/clubs on campus need to step up and become more involved. It seems like many students who are in clubs/orgs (e.g. frats, sororities, christian crusade for christ, etc.) are a part of them not for altruistic reasons, but to pad their resumes for grad school or other self serving interests. The Center for Student Involvement just threw our 2nd annual 'Think Pink' breast cancer awareness event, soliciting the participation of every organization and club on campus; not to ask them to assist in raising funds for a great cause (albeit an over publicized and obviously the en vogue charity; what happened to AIDS fundraising?), rather to just show up to the event to support a good cause (esp. the sororities...WTF happened to so-called sisterhood you hypocrites ?). Despite the director of CSI soliciting the student groups several times via email to simply participate by attending the event, we received a PATHETIC lack of responses, and a majority of those that did RSVP never even showed up. If you're in a social frat/sorority, that's cool, but if you're in a service type org., F***ing show it. I am extremely disappointed and saddened by the lack of participation and self serving attitudes especially of by the sororities and fraternities on campus. It seems you all love to talk a big game, but the fact is that you are all a bunch of self serving punks. Just my thoughts.

  1. alright quick question, so what are these groups purpose in the first place, i never understood that whole fraternity and sorority thing, i always thought it was just a new version of wannabe cool people like in high school. are they actually supposed to do things towards the campus and for the students?

  2. if you're in a social sorority/fraternity, then there is no agenda besides...well..being social i guess. But there are other SERVICE & CAREER orgs. on campus whose supposed mission is to raise funds for charitable organizations and overall altruism for the community. So to answer your question, yes, they are actually supposed to do things oriented towards campus, and furthermore, community life.
