How do I learn to respect people and put my ego aside?

I asked one of the members whom I trusted and she (this is a coed business fraternity) said that the brothers thought I came off as unprofessional which gave them the impression that I wasn't willing to complete the requirements by their due date. It doesn't make any sense but whatever, there's nothing I can do. Showing disrespect is a problem I've had throughout life. I just want to correct it before it's too late. Is it really something that just comes with maturity? I mean I'm only 20 which, as BrooklynBully said, is just a shitstain on the underpants.

I'm agree with Kurb... sounds like either a power trip or a personal issue someone (or some group) had with you.

Otherwise why wouldn't they have brought this up with you instead of just kicking you out?

I was in a traditional frat in college and if we had an issue with a pledge it was discussed with him to give him an opportunity to work on it.

That doesn't happen here at the University of Tennessee. Instead of working with you on your problems they act passive aggressive about it and exclude you from their circle. And no, this business fraternity is pretty exclusive and nitpicky. You don't have to do much to get dismissed. If anyone cares it's Alpha Kappa Psi.

Well that's pretty shitty... best advice I have is move on. Put it behind you.

You're obviously aware now that you may show some potential to not treat people in as professional a manner as would be appropriate.

There's also the potential that that particular group of people are pretentious assholes and you didn't need to be associated with them anyway...

Either way, use it as a learning experience and grow from it.

TNPanther. Sounds like you believe this is an underlying problem for you. "Showing disrespect is a problem I've had throughout life." I am sure that UT has a wonderful counseling department. Pay them a visit. You want to work on this, and you recognize it is a problem...so it would probably be a great experience for you.

First off, you need to go join a real Frat, not a group of a bunch of ECON dorks.

Second, it's not like you can't find a job after college which best suits your personality....the world needs more tow truck drivers and parking meter maids

J/k, in all seriousness, read the book "How to win friends, and influence people" be Dale Carnigie

I'm serious when I suggest this but fraternities mean very little in the corporate world. The only way it is even applicable on your résumé is if you were your fraternity's form of a president. That shows leadership quality. Only thing membership shows is that you had enough money to pay dues.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
