Wow. It is interesting how much of a negative response seems to come out from you all because you simply don't see the point of an online sorority...... Well just an update: It does work, many women appreciate the fact that they are now apart of something. Many of your organizations have been around for over 100 years and some of these women missed the opportunity to experience what it is like to be apart of a sisterhood and others opted to decline due to hazing and some of the attitudes of the members. Your organizations have done many great things over the years and we respect that, so why not respect the fact that we are on our own journey with our own traditions and our own goals. We are a unique organization and yes we do meet and we are bonded. We are based online however we have real relationships. We are not avatars. We have the full support of the Art Institute so we know who qualifies academically to be apart of our organization. The quote that was mentioned on Do Something.com was not to discredit any of you it was meant exactly how it was written. We help organizations that most greek organizations do not. This means we try to find charities that do not already have the support of another greek organization. We chose to start this organization to make the online learning experience more enriching and fullfilling. It takes a lot of discipline to go to college online so having something that makes it easier is worth it. We are women who are trying to fullfill our dreams and goals so we support each other in our academic as well as personal lives.....so we appologize if this is a problem for any of you.

Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll be hearing from these organizations' lawyers.

Also, I find it interesting that you're a 501(c)3. Hmmmm...

I said educate us because you all seem to have such strong feelings and I don't know why. I feel like this: If we are somehow operating in a manner that would be offensive to your organizations then why don't you all communicate that to us in a way that is less defensive. I feel like the mocking and joking is a juvenile way to communicate considering the fact that you don't know anything about any of us. We haven't been around long enough to be judged so harshly.

All jokes aside -- Part of your forming a new organization is doing research. You all should have figured out what's "offensive" prior to forming the organization.
