Important to our Sisterhood
As Recruitment season is in high gear, I'd like to make a few comments, especially since some of these issues have come up in various private messages. I know that adpiucf agrees with me, as do a few others who wish to remain anonymous.
With every post that you make, you are representing Alpha Delta Pi. Not just you, nor your chapter, nor the other ADPi's on Greek Chat, but every Alpha Delta Pi who has worn the Diamond since 1851! We have a rich heritage which we should each feel honored to uphold. To that end, may I offer these strong suggestions: 1) Please remember that members of other GLOs visit this Forum. Posts should not contain ritual or other privileged information. If you have a question, pm another sister. 2) Please be polite! Bear in mind that something that you say from your lofty point at Chapter A could potentially destroy the Recruitment efforts of Chapter B! 3) Please check your signature. If there is anything that even ONE PERSON could find offensive, please consider changing it, even if it's just until Recruitment Season is over! 4) Flame wars really aren't very ladylike. There are ways of making your point without using offensive language or referring to someone's parentage. If you need help with this, I'd be happy to assist you. 5) Please be Panhellenic, but never forget that you're an ADPi! You may be crushed that someone cut or was cut by an ADPi chapter, but we all must trust the chapter's judgment. Congratulate the PNMs on their bids, console the ones who didn't get one, and encourage both snap bids and COB when a viable option. Let's not have an ADPi make ever mention of a "loser chapter" on any thread! We are above that type of ill-mannered behavior, and do NOT condone dirty rushing! 6) If you are teasing about something, please include a smilie! That's what they're there for - to make sure you don't offend someone with your "unique" sense of humor. 7) If you know of a chapter who did not reach Quota, and could use the support of the GreekChat sisters, please use Pride Online or our other Forums that are "Sisters Only"! Other chapters may still be involved in Recruitment, and our forum is read by many people who are NOT members of Alpha Delta Pi. We all want to help, but not to the detriment of other chapters! This isn't meant to be a power trip, an attempt to oppose your freedom of expression, or a message that has not been impressed upon you before. It is the sworn duty of every Alpha Delta Pi to uphold the ideals of our organization, and I'd like to remind you to take moment and think twice before you post anything on Greek Chat, or anywhere. Please think, "Is what I am about to say potentially inflammatory to myself and my sorority? How will every Alpha Delta Pi be regarded if I post this as a representative of my sorority?" Please remember that at all times and in all ways, you represent Alpha Delta Pi, and your words and actions are a direct link back to every single member of our sorority. Please always remember to be an Alpha Delta Pi Lady. Thank you! |
Deleted Threads and Posts
Texas*princess and I get at least one request per week to delete a post or thread, or to close a thread. Most of the time, we try to explain to the petitioner(s) why the post or thread won't be deleted.
There are two MAJOR exceptions: 1) When ritual or policy is compromised. These posts are guaranteed to be removed ASAP! 2) When sisterhood is compromised by incessant bickering. If there are any questions to this post, please re-read the Forum Guidelines. If you still have a question, please PM either texas*princess or myself, as we are ultimately responsible for what stays and what goes. ps: For that matter, NEVER discuss ritual on the Internet, not even on PO! You never know who's could be hacking into the system. |
Alpha Delta Pi Web Site Guidelines!
Found this on Pride Online:
Alpha Delta Pi's Web Site Guidelines "Discretion should be used when creating an Alpha Delta Pi web site, keeping in mind that all content is a direct reflection upon Alpha Delta Pi. This is especially important when considering that web sites are accessible to people all over the world, not only to Alpha Delta Pi's. Therefore, all Alpha Delta Pi web sites must represent the international sorority, your particular group, and Greek life well. While appropriateness of content is the responsibility of each individual group, the Alpha Delta Pi Publications Board will monitor adherence to the following guidelines. For questions on these guidelines or appropriateness of content, please contact the Publications Board at info@alphadeltapi.com. "Before posting Alpha Delta Pi history, facts, or other information, make sure that this information is correct. The ADP Handbook should be used as a reference. In addition, the correct terminology should always be used. Either the ADP Handbook or Chapter Operations Book should be consulted. "All photographs should represent the collegiate chapter, alumnae association, or house corporation positively. They should not contain or suggest the use of alcohol (i.e., cups), paddles, or inappropriate behavior. "The Alpha Delta Pi web site may not be used for religious, political, or commercial purposes. "Use of profanity and/or derogatory language is not permitted. "Public criticism of Alpha Delta Pi, its officers, Executive Office staff or members is not permitted. "Registered trademarks of the sorority, the crest, the Alpha pin, the badge, as well as the name 'Alpha Delta Pi' and 'ADP', may only be used by members, collegiate chapters, alumnae associations, and house corporations. Any exceptions must be cleared through the Alpha Delta Pi Publications Board. "Personal safety of members should be considered when posting information. Do not post specific information about location or time of events or meetings. Also, addresses, phone numbers, and photos of individual members should not be posted. "The following disclaimer must be posted on all pages linked to the Alpha Delta Pi international site: "Alpha Delta Pi Sorority recognizes the value and potential of personal publishing on the Internet, however, Alpha Delta Pi cannot accept responsibility for the content of linked pages. These pages do not in any way constitute official Alpha Delta Pi content. The views and opinions expressed are strictly those of the page authors, and comments on the contents of those pages should be directed to the page authors." ************************************************** ** Quote:
