Culture and sub-culture

This is the image that I brought into class today.  To majority of the culture in America and the rest of the world, it just looks like a couple Greek letters.  Some people may not even know that they are green letters; they may just think that they are just some random symbols.  Even the people who know they are Greek letters, they just think about the stereotypical fraternity things like partying and usually think of all the negative connotations associated with the letters.  Probably 90 percent of the world has no idea what they letters even mean or stand for so they just don’t care about them

To my brothers and me however, the letters have so much more meaning behind them.  We know that what they stand for bother literally, Phi Delta Theta, and metaphorically.  To us they mean brotherhood.  They have meaning behind them and a sense of pride that no one else will understand except for the few that are members of the fraternity.  The rest of the Greek community may know what they stand for, but they will never know the strength of the brotherhood behind them and they will never know what our letters mean to us.  There is such a small sub-culture behind them that majority of the world will never see the letters as we do.
