What I want to know is where did this rule "if x number of ABC's are at an event together, it automatically becomes an ABC event" come from?

I have never seen it written down anywhere, and if it's not written down anywhere, how can it possibly be enforced. And if it's not written down anywhere, why are we all so worried about it?

The "rule" is absolutely ridiculous. For example, if 5 chapter sisters wanted to go and see a movie and then go out for coffee, it would have to be approved by HQ, because it would be an ABC event. Are people going to seek HQ approval everytime they want to hang out with sisters? No! And is HQ going to want to deal with all the requests they get if chapters have to get approval from. Of course not! So why are we worried about this.

I think this "rule" has stemmed from the unwritten rule that we should always be on our best behaviour when we are out in public, whether we are wearing letters or not because we are representations of our orgs. I think this is a rule that should be followed whether you are an ABC or XYZ of GDI.

Ultimately it's subjective for many GLOs but it's supposed to provide guidance to undergraduates.
