saturday afternoon keim speaks about perks of greek life by catitjn cantor news writer dr will keim told students the reasons to become involved in greek life and keep it alive through his formula for creative pas sionate living as well as suggestions of how to be successful in college wednesday in lower grace hall keim said success was about service character integrity honesty loyalty commitment truthfulness trustworthi ness and doing your best for yourself your family and friends community state province nation and world keim said the formula for creative passionate living consists of leadership brotherhood or sisterhood scholarship and a damn fine social life if everyone joined greek life there would be diversity within the houses which would cause everyone involved to have a more interesting experience keim said individuals would learn much from their brothers or sisters that they would not otherwise learn from experiences in houses where everyone is the same keim asked attendants to stop being openly hostile toward minorities since that will only push people away from the greek system for example if someone makes a joke to his friend about another individual's sexual preference it might drive the lis tener of the joke away because he may have a brother with the sexual preference being laughed at keim said greek life also enhances social life keim asked that students know their limit with alcohol because two-thirds of rapes at col leges happen on dates and alcohol is almost universally involved in this hor rible act of violence be sober commu nicate your desires clearly say no accept no not as a rejection but just as no keim said in addition keim offered tips on dating he suggested that students should date a lot of people and should quit trying to find the right person and let the magic person sneak up on them also keim said people should be sober on dates and go out for food or go to music events because music brings people together in addi tion keim urged students to take slow hands on dates by being assertive and direct because the date will respect that students found keim to be informa tive while entertaining i enjoyed dr keim because he was informative and persuasive but at the same time he was really funny brian lenhart 04 said his approach seemed to be much more effective than an authoritative approach might have been often people say that greek members only contribute to charities and community service because they have to keim however said that it doesn't matter why people serve the point is that they do it bridget dyer 04 enjoyed the real life examples that keim gave it was cool that he took real things that happen and that people say and he made sense in a positive way out of those things dyer said for one example he said that people often say oh sororities just want your money and keim pointed out that everything costs money if you want to join a syn agogue it costs money if you want to join a library it costs money and other organizations too i hope people who are opposed to greek life for that reason will realize that now keim pointed out that if everyone joined a sorority or fraternity everyone would be a legacy he said everyone would have brothers and sisters there would be no loneliness keim said these people sitting beside you are the ones you will have as your best man or bridesmaid at your wed dings these are your friends for life toward the end of the speech he was talking about ghb the date rape drug when brent fuller 01 threw an open beer can at keim and exited the
