In fact, among such activities as being a camp counselor (my summer) and picking up a second major at school (fall semester), I have also started a fraternity.

Some of my readers who know me well (and have not already heard) might react with surprise. “What?” they might say, “but Nick is a kind young boy with artistic flair and a kind demeanor! I would not expect him to be a part of a beer-guzzling, civil service-oriented, often stereotyped organization such as a fraternity!”

And yet, here I am. Not only am I a Founding Father, but I also hold an officer title, as the Admiral of Pins.

But who are we? I suggest you sit down first. We are Lambda Lambda Lambda. I can wait for you to recompose yourself, so go ahead and spend a few moments laughing. Yes, it is true, I am a part of the first and only chapter of a co-ed fraternity that shares its name with the fake fraternity featured in the popular film Revenge of the Nerds.

Recently we have appeared in a number of publications, in wonderfully mixed lights. We appeared on the front page of our school newspaper, the Daily Campus, in an article that quoted yours truly. Two days later, I found this letter to the editor in the paper. Apparently, we have begun to cause a stir in the community; I have been informed that the paper received a number of other similar letters.

A number of rush attendees have shown up in the past week because of all this publicity, but the most interesting result has been the further publicity we have received. Today, I discovered both a blog entry on a fraternity news blog and an e-mail in my inbox from a TV producer who wants to chat about “some potential opportunities.”
