Misunderstandings
One of those lessons I learned from Greek life. This episode is based on Matthew 5:21-26 and Matthew 18:15, focusing on misunderstandings and reconciling friendships.
21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment." 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
Matthew 5:21-26 NKJV
Summary
In college, a whole feud started and lasted for 2.5 years over a simple misunderstanding. Lack of communication never ends well
Black Greek Letter Organization Terms

- Unofficial Week - Weeks that organizations traditionally put on events, but the days are not guaranteed
- Neo/Neophyte - New member of an organization; someone who hasn't brought in new members
- Prophyte - Older member of an organization who has brought in new members (older in terms of membership, not age)

“If your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him in private. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.
Matthew 18:15 CSB
