| | Being Slytherin... On the side of the Slytherin Pride Table, there is a note in Green Ink that said: There are many misconceptions on what makes a Slytherin, a Slytherin. Many think it's being mean, getting in trouble and causing mayhem. To me being Slytherin is about being cunning, being the best, and having pride. Pride for who you are and pride in the things you do.
Slytherins share a lot in common with the characteristics of those in other houses. Slytherins can be just as loyal and hardworking as Hufflepuffs, just as intelligent and clever as Ravenclaws, and just as brave and bold as Gryffindors.
So, then what makes Slytherins unique? Many would say it is our ambition. We relentlessly strive to be our personal best. We are satisfied with nothing less than success and will use whatever resources we have to achieve our goals.
Ollivader of Ollivander's Wand Shop is famously quoted as saying, "....He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things – terrible, yes, but great." And History tells us the Sorting hat itself said to Harry Potter: "Not Slytherin, eh? - Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that."
Slytherin will help you to greatness, but only if you make the effort to make yourself great, through your own ambition and drive. Remember, being in Slytherin is an honor; Slytherins only accept the best! Now, tell me... What does being Slytherin means to YOU?"
ooc: Feel free to post what it means to you. |

| BEING A SLYTHERIN IS ABOUT STRIVING,
ABOUT WANTING TO BE HERE,
ABOUT BELIEVING IN WHAT YOU CAN DO.
BEING A SLYTHERIN DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE THE BEST,
IT MEANS THAT WE DON'T CARE IF WE'RE BEING BETTER THAN EVERYONE,
WE JUST CARE ABOUT NOT BEING OUR WORST.
WE ARE SLYTHERIN,
WE KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST,
WE ARE OUR BEST, |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Bennett Potter Slytherin Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Atlas Ward Ravenclaw First Year | Toto * RotiSila * ToRo * Braveheart * Grandma & Mama Tori Being a Slytherin, means that we have the will-power to reinforce change. It is the attitude that you can do anything, no matter how unlikely it seems. Being a Slytherin is having a supporting web around you; with everyone else striving to be as amazing as they can be.
Being in Slytherin is an honor as only those who can be the best are accepted into its house. Whether that means the best at potions, transfigurations or at flying; it is not specified and it does not matter. Just push yourself to your limits and watch the possibilities grown abundantly in front of you.
Be Slytherin; Be Loud; Be Proud.

First Year | Bieng a Slytherin is knowing what pride is. Knowing that you can take lead in the most dangerous of events. Trying to change yourself in ways that can make you better at everything you want to achieve in. You don't back down from the hardest of challenges.
Bieng a Slytherin means not caring what others think of you. Knowing what is right and what is wrong. Never letting anyone take down your guard for everything.
Bieng a Slytherin is knowing that you have Pride, Intelligence, and Leadership!

Being in Slytherin is knowing the fact that you have the guts to do whatever needs to be done. It is the fact that you don't have to be evil, you can surprise everyone by ending up as the best witch or wizard ever.
It's knowing that no matter what people will always wonder how you became what you are. It's knowing that you have the respect of the other houses. It's knowing that you are cunning enough to get accepted. It's knowing that people will always expect something from you, but you can always surprise them bye doing something completely different.
Being a Slytherin is being Surprising, Being Respected and Knowing that you have Leadership!

Being in Slytherin means having pride in myself and all of the things I place around me. If it's nothing to be proud of I won't stand for it to be associated with me. Being a Slytherin means doing all I can do to better myself and bring pride to my house. It means surrounding myself with witches and wizards with the same ambition, pride and determination that I have and not settling for anything less. Being in Slytherin means being recognized as a powerful, respectable force that cannot and will not be stopped.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Lenalee M. Lynch Second Year | A Slytherin can mean many things, each of us is unique, however we do have a common characteristic. In that we never settle for second best with regards to our own goals. We have drive and cunning to get what we deem ours. Whatever the cost; It is never too great. |

Being Slytherin means to not care what others think; it means to be brave, brilliant, loyal and cunning. We are not the evil people that other houses label us to be; we are just as good as anyone else but in the end we're always the best.

Being a Slytherin isnt about being evil or mean or snobby, its about knowing what you want and doing whatever it takes to get it. It is also holding your head high and being proud of your strengths while working to improve your weaknesses.
Go Slytherin!

:sevribbon:Being in Slytherin means you strive to be the best, to grow as a person, and to strive for success. In Slytherin, we are individual. We don't care what people say about us or what they think. Slytherins are the ones that show you how it's done. We are the ones that know where to go and who we are. We are Slytherin, and we are strong.:sevribbon:

Hogwarts RPG Name: Elliott Patterson First Year | Being a Slytherin means to show who you truly are and show your true colours. You need to have a cunning stripe within you and have the will power to be the best you possibly can be. If you're not willing you're not a Slytherin. Being a Slytherin means you have pride in yourself and who you truly are, whether that may be Half-blood or Purebloood. Some say Muggleborns don't belong so why are they here, Slytherin's have to show pride in what they are and who they want to become. If you have an ambition, show your full potential and reach your goals no matter what you have to do to get there!! Never be afraid of what is said to you nor who says it!! That's what being a Slytherin is all about and don't you forget it!!

| We're sly and we're cunning,
We may lie through our teeth,
But that's only for our own hides,
And to defend out own pride.
Slytherins have honor,
Full of ambition,
We're decked in green and silver,
Everyone else must be jealous.
Being a Slytherin means being an alpha,
You can call us stuck up snakes,
When some are actually nice,
And we're all destined for greatness,
As long as we work. |

Being a Slytherin means to have many attributes and traits about you that will detrmine why you are placed into this house. Being a Slytherin doesn't mean following the misconceptions that others may have on your house. Not every Slytherin is hailed from evil and you don't have to prove that you are in order to be a good Slytherin.
Slytherin house is all about determination and not discrimination. It doesn't matter what blood you hail from. Although pure blood many be prefered, this doesn't give Slytherins the right to discriminate. It is will power and pride that make Slytherin the house that they are. Slytherins are loyal to one another like a tight knit group and never fight for long amongst themselves. They all know how to respect especially to one another and it is only a small minority that decide to not show this respect.
A cunning brain and a sly mind also determines the Slytherin students from the rest. Although maybe not as intelligent as the Ravenclaws are, Slytherins are quick minded and use these skills to progress in life. Sucess is the ultimate goal in a Slytherins life and this can only be achieved through hard and thorough work in school.
Slytherins must not let stereotyping get to them. All they need is the thrill and ambition that all Slytherins posses. For Slytherins will suceed and are all destined to be the great person that we strive to be!
All that we need to remember is that.... WE GOT SLYTHERIN PRIDE!!

Being a Slytherin isn't about getting what you want, its about knowing how to get it. We are cunning people who know what we want ans how we get it. It's a shame that the other houses think we're so mean. They could learn a lot from us

Being a Slytherin means a chance to prove myself just as loyal as a Hufflepuff, just as clever as a Ravenclaw, just as brave as a Gryffindor and ambitious as a Slytherin. Being a Slytherin is about being the best and it surely isn't about becoming evil.

To me, Slytherin means being practical, smart, successful in the things we do, as well as cunning and tricky when we need to be. We are loyal as Hufflepuffs, smart as Ravenclaws, and as daring as Gryffindors. We have self-preservation which means we know how to take care of ourselves. I would never leave a fellow Slythein behind, but with self-preservation, you know the situations that you can and cannot overcome.

Being Slytherin, to me, is about being the best that you can be. Its about bringing the best of all the houses together and creating something unbreakable. Whilst we're cunning and sly, we're also brave, clever, and loyal complete with a sense of pride, confidence and self-preservation.
