Yes. Next question. ;)

Nothing wrong with challenging each other at the undergrad and grad level to put on the tightest programs and fundraisers. Anything more than that is a LAME. I think most of us have participated in some form of LAMEness before but as we get older we recall how LAME it all was and is.

I have found, however, that many "chapter (or organizational) beefs" are simply personal beefs that have become chapter-wide. For example, so-and-so took so-and-so's girlfriend in high school or college so they don't like each other. They act out and people from the respective chapters take sides. A decade or more later the chapters hate each other and do things like pick apart each other's pledge processes---but none of the youngins know where the conflict stemmed from. The important thing is to squash the beef and form a bond so that we can help each other. :)

:rolleyes:

I guess "suspect" can be relative. For example I raised my eyebrow when you started asking all these questions about 'nalia snatching.

:rolleyes:

What a silly theory. When people have nothing to prove they feel completely comfortable being THEMSELVES, whether that be mean/bitter or nice/timid.

EXACTLY.

Some of you fools in this thread seem like the only time you were on line is when you logged onto the internet.

Dammit. LMAO!!!! :D All of your posts in this thread get a thumbs up. :cool:

I'm still trying to find the correlation between mean/bitter or nice/timid and pledging. :(

I just say :eek: because you all are bold talking about the info and you never know who looks on these boards, that's all. ;)

I understand what you all are saying, but as you get older, you may see things differently (not always though LOL). I'm just saying, I know some people that have pledged but are just wack people IMO. I'm cool with people because I like them, not for any other reason.

Not to mention that being nice is not synonymous with timid. But some people are naturally timid.

Any Greek who subscribes to such silly theories is SUSPECT, in my opinion.

Hey woman! How ya doin? :D

I'm feeling quite splendiferous. :D How ya be?

really? that made you "raise eyebrows?"
honestly, i never heard of the concept of nalia snatching. that's why i asked. nothing more or less i swear.

and i was being facetious with the the whole bitter/pledging thing.
honestly i dont care how you came through--everyone decides whats best for them. i just dont like people lying about theirs.

i do feel you on the "personal beefs becoming chapter beefs" theory.

That's my word! LOL

I used it in your honor. :)
