And why is is still there if most of us are saying "it's bigger than this"? If I invited you to an event that my chapter was having and other brothers were going to be there, would you show up? Better yet would you be comfortable

Hell yeah I'd go (if I lived anywhere near GA). Why not? As long as I was sure that I was going to be treated with respect and like a brother then I'd be there. I see unity between the two orgs as positive. As a matter of fact, I'm going to be in ATL Aug 8-11, let's hang out.

the fear and uncertainty is still there.

I think that this is the root of much of the "problem". People need to start exposing themselves to differents aspects of the fraternity and the sorority. That's the only way to over come this fear. I think that a lot of people feel "unsafe" and that's why there's division. Based on some of the comments I've read that some of my brothers have posted and some Gamma SIgs have posted, I didn't/wouldn't go to the 25/52 picnic. I just wouldn't feel comfortable and I would really feel like I was going to end up getting into a "fight" ( I mean a VERBAL altercation) with someone for disrespecting me. This "fear" has and will continue to keep me from going to any 25/52 events. But that's just me.

I also think that some people within the fam "fear" people who aren't in it because they feel like they won't understand the way they do things and to a lot of people the fam is a protection from this. If you only surround yourself with people who are like you or see things the way you see it, you don't have to worry about being different.

They want to see the AA chapters (most likely all male) learn how to start taking care of business more efficently and not waste time on something that is already in effect. There are women in the frat-fine-so let's get down to some real business...

That's good, it's time to move on. It would be really nice to see BROTHAS who are about the business of the fraternity.

Can you give me an example of your last statement where you've seen that occur?

Any time one of my brothers says "We need to disassociate ourselves from female APOs" or a Gamma Sig says "My brothers are only MALE APOs" the 25/52 fam takes a step backward. You cannot have family or unity based on division.

I bet you didn't have to swim across that frozen lake, holding your match between your eyelids until you saw the four golden stars in the blue sky and then swim back

Virtuous:

Thanks for responding back. I feel you... Now I think I may see the real issue.

Send me a pm on where you'll be at the weekend, maybe we can meet. I'd love that!

family love.....not

Bsoldier ...all i have to say is disgusting. I thought the dirty dirty's were bad but damn could it be even the bears are better than that. Makes the struggle so much more worth it. I wonder if i took em to d'water would they come clean?

All I got to say is pass the pizza.

i am already about to regurge the internals. I am so glad that things are the way they are. You're silly. I am just so disgusted.

BTW I gotta find a particular color blue for this jacket deal...do you have a clue as to what's the truest to "our" blue?

USUALLY, if you ask for Royal Blue, it will be exactly what we need. However, if you are doing it in person, go ahead and make them show you a sample, because royal blue on some coaches jackets looks lighter than royal blue on pullovers, I've seen it. :(

ok now what about the gold whats the closest old or just the plain. I am asumming old but i have never seen it up close so let me know.

You got it, Old Gold. I don't see to many variations of it, and most if not all greek stores have it.

thegreekshop.com has something called "Vegas Gold" but I have yet to find out what that is.
