Did you all shell out some bucks if someone was raising money for a cause (a non sorority sponsored activity)? Did you do it every time you were asked? Do you think not giving money (at the end of a semster, no less) isn't in line with the ideals of sisterhood and friendship?

I think people who join LJ communities or other online MBs/communities (even if it is for their sorority) ONLY to get people to donate money are far more not in line with the ideals of sisterhood and friendship.
Not to imply that this is what the person in question did, but this is something that really chaps my hide. I don't care if you are doing it for a "good cause" and these people are your sisters, the fact is all they have to go by is a name on a screen, especially if they don't contribute anything to the community otherwise. It would be one thing if (for example) AlphaFrog asked me to help her with donations for breast cancer or something, I would...but if someone who's never posted on here before came on and asked me to donate "because we're sisters"? Umm sorry NO.
Now as far as when my bricks-and-mortar (LOL) chapter sisters had a cause or a philanthropy for one of their other groups and asked me to donate? If I had the money, yes. But we were all broke all the time so I don't recall anyone ever being offended if someone didn't.
