<p>but deep inside every GDI wants to be a part of that culture whether he will admit it or not.</p>
<hr>
<p>This is one young man’s opinion. This is not true of “every” GDI. </p>
<p>If you feel that you are on the outside looking in, things can be lonely. However, the truth is that there are many guys at Vandy who do not feel that they are on the outside looking in. Faline, who posts here often, has an S whose experience as a young man at Vandy has been one that defines another reality … he IS on the “inside” … HIS inside, where he wants to be. My D had many male friends at Vandy who did not have a desire to be defined by greek letters, because they were defined by their own social network.</p>
<p>It’s kind of like the cool kids in high school. If you wanted to be cool but weren’t, you wished you could be like them. If you weren’t worried about being like those cool kids, you didn’t feel a need to fit in with them. </p>
<p>I hope the rant-er finds a sense of self that allows him to enjoy his situation.</p>
