All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Having worked Greek Week and Homecoming events for several years, in which I dealt with all the Greek houses on a large campus I feel pretty confident saying that there are lovely people and assholes (and the full range in between) just like most organizations. Some houses were more consistently stereotypical than others though and the assholes are ofter louder.

Yay, Strix!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There is definitely bad stuff in Greek life, and it can feed on itself in a group full of and run by dumb kids. I think some of the guys I was friends with in college were in SAE, and would love to hear from them.

ION, I made chili for dinner for the first time in a while, and I forgot how easy and delicious it is! I make it the laziest way possible, I just chop an onion and then the rest is cans.

Mine is so lazy I don't even use an onion. And since Tim is vegetarian, we get a bag of fake-meat "ground beef" crumbles, which I just dump into the pot with the contents of the cans.
I make a very bean-y chili, which I know is anathema to some folks. I just like beans.

Oh yeah, I also cook the meat. But still, super fast and easy.

Hey. New board.
I love a good fast chili, though I also occsionally make the crazy ones. I made this [link] super intense vegetarian chili for a chili cook off a few weeks ago and won second place. Second place in a TN cook off with a vegetarian option! I spent hours on it, though, since I even made the beans from dried (we are trying to reduce canned goods becauze BPA). It is very good, but if you decide to tackle it make a bunch of the chili paste (the first step) so that later chili batches are easier. Or just make a big batch of the whole thing and freeze. And use less of the hot peppers and chipotle, unless you really like it spicy. I reduced both by half and it was still on the spicy side.

Yeah, I'll pretty much never make a Food Lab recipe -- just like America's Test Kitchen! I don't care enough to spend the time when the quick version is also delicious. I believe the "best ever" version is better, but not enough better for me.
