Fights within the chapter?
 

Same with mine. none that i know of!

No... girls don't hit each other! :p

Just those half-dressed pillow fights that spontaneously break out every night!



















Gotta let the guys have their fantasies! ;)

LOL, You are too funny!

It happens.

I think that a fight is better than the passive aggressive stuff I've seen in a lot of sororities.

Guys get into a fight, beat each other's ass, and then the problem is solved.

Yep. But it would never happen with today's group.

Ditto. A punch might hurt for a bit, but women can be down right cruel to eachother, sisters or not.

I hope that I never get in a fight with some of the girls of my chapter, being like the third smallest, I find most them as intimidating. :eek:

It happens. Usually the result of some long-standing issue.

When they were pledges, one guy in our chapter basically sucker punched a pledge brother while they were getting a ride back from a frosh. Both were drunk. Guy that got punched had his nose broken. He couldn't get a very retaliation b/c he was in the back seat. I can't remember who the driver was or how they handled it...Both guys were sent to our judicial board. Had to work out the differences with a mediator (think it was the VP). Some of our more cut members served as security for it, b/c they were both pretty heated for a couple of weeks afterward.

The pledge classes have typically arranged and set up a "Pledge Fight Night" over the years, usually right about this time. Gives everyone a chance to vent some of the frustrations that come from living with new people in such close proximity. They weaar headgear and gloves. It's one of the things that I noticed as I lived in the house that tension gradually peaks every 6 weeks or so, or close to breaks, as people just get tired of the little things that take place. Right before Fall Break is the worst, as the freshmen are still learning what it means to be living with roommates, and that's usually about 8 weeks in, so it's a little bit longer, and the joy of being back in school has subsided a lot.

Try once every 4 weeks... ;)

Never experienced it in my chapter - however I'm not surprised that it happens. Emotions run high sometimes, and people snap.

No. our international officers would get upset if we advisors bop a colleigate on the head with the manual they were supposed to be following;)

Never happened in my chapter.

Why resort to physical violence when you can cause more damage by fcuking around with their minds?

We try not to initiate girls who have violent tendencies.

Sorry, never happened in my chapter.

Maybe some noses to noses and toes to toes, but no really fist a cuffs.

Oh some Alum went nuts at a Founders Day Dinner and wanted to take on a very Low Number, not Me, but in the Teens and That was taken care of very quickly.

Tension can run high, and that is why I suggested not passing the gavel. Oh, saying what You feel in a Meeting and is not supposed to go outside of it. Wrong. People still have it in mind!

Just have a sit down with some Execs and discuss it, then try to get over it.

I had this happen once in my chapter. One girl got kicked out the other left b/c she did not like how everything went down. It split my pledge class in half and hurt the house. It was probably the worst moment of my times in the house. I hope no one has to go thru that.

Luckily the verbal assaults came because of personality and internal conflicts and I've never seen sisters go at it because of a guy.

True. The fights in my undergrad chapter were over power (who would do what, when and how), and always reason and common sense won out, i.e., did we have enough money to support someone's ~grand idea~.

My my my.

My first few years in college I witnessed many drunk fights between guys. They usually happened between Super Drunk Guy A and Semi-Sober Guy B. Usually Semi-Sober Guy B didn't fight back too hard - just to kinda block himself from being hit, and usually chapter brothers would break up the fights and take Super Drunk Guy A to go to sleep somewhere.

Nothing really happened to either guys as far as discipline goes by the fraternity.

One particular disturbing night, I witnessed Super Drunk Guy A hit Sober Girl A, and it wasn't pretty. The most disturbing part is that some of his brothers were there and witnessed it too, but lied to police and said nothing happened. As far as I know, nothing happened to him discipline-wise from the fraternity either. But I guess since she wasn't a member of the fraternity it doesn't count as an internal conflict

The only fights/tensions we really had were built over sisters with power. Mainly a past president who had trouble trusting anyone else to do anything right. She tried to control everything and when it was time for her term to end she didn't handle it well. She tried to handpick a new president who was a very nice girl but was too nice. meaning she didn't have a backbone to be president and deal with the problems. Everyone in the chapter pretty much saw that the past president was just pushing someone she knew she could control into running so we elected another girl who ended up winning president of the year at our greek awards. Other than that though most fights were just your basic friendship fights and were resolved easily between whoever was involved

I remember during one of our color nights two actives got in each other's face but nothing happened. It really sucked because the pledges were exposed to the whole thing but fortunately nothing happened.

No. My chapter was not big enough to need an e-board or specific committee. We just usually talked it out among ourselves. One or two people would have an idea, we'd discuss it, then check with the tresurer (?sp) to see if it would fit in the budget.

The power issue usually stemmed from something like, 'Hey, let's have a yellow tea rose rush theme in the 'blue room' in the MSC', then someone would say, 'No, let's go with a poodle theme and have it in a room in the library.' Then we'd (the chapter) would just discuss it.

...yeah, that's what I mean by the passive aggressive stuff that will just ruin entire semesters for chapters...

This has never happened in my chapter and I hope it never does.

we had to guys get into an incident earlier in the year, a punishment was given and the two guys are really good friends now.

I am proud to say that my organization has never fought within itself. I know of several sororities that do fight amongst each other and that really looks bad to girls who look to be prospective sisters

It's happend only once or twice since I've been a Delt. Same drunk spouting off that will maybe lead to a shove or a loose swing at someone.
But its always been known and taught at my chapter that you never strike another Delt in anger)...no matter what ( I say anger b/c guys horse around and 'fight' eachother as a spoof like old highschool wrestles taking eachother on after a party). So the very few times it's happend it was taken seriously and sent to our Honor Board. But after that, the guys would be friends again, or let the fued die...
We've always been pretty good about that stuff. But verbal spats...now those I don't think any group could avoid. It's just comes with the teritory when your living with a large group of diverse personalities. And it's all part of the learning process college provides. After living in a house with 80 guys I'm pretty sure I can handle nearly anything a roommate can throw at me...
