It is important to remember that emotions are no excuse for actions. Trying to act without the cloud-of-how-we-feel above us can be difficult, but not impossible. We are always held responsible for the way we behave, and the way we feel during a situation is no excuse for bad behavior. Although it doesn't seem fair, that is the way things are. We should always do our best to remember that the way we act reflects on who we are as people, as well as who our friends are, and in my case, what my sorority is like. It's cliché, but actions really do speak louder than words, and we are the only ones responsible for our own actions.
