APhiDancer.... that's a wonderful post and all. It seems like that org was very true to their beliefs.
BUT. Your post seems like it's dogging Phi Mu. Maybe that particular chapter doesn't have a great reputation, but nationally we are awesome... just as any other organization. It sucks that fraternities are shallow enough to not want to associate with the SAME girls they did before. (think... A rose by any other name is still a rose... or something like that) Just because they are now Phi Mus doesn't mean that they will carry on the same reputation. These are still the same girls and if they keep their personalities and striving for the best they will only improve the reputation of that chapter. But for them to be all "boohoo" because they can't participate in wet socials... shame on them. They should be happy that Phi Mu approached them and that they weren't forced to do what the university wanted them to do. THEY CHOSE TO GO AHEAD and merge with Phi Mu? KEYWORD: CHOSE. If they didn't like it they should have kept going and just allowed men to join or whatever the new rules were. And "boohoo" again to having to memorize things. It's not that hard. It's not like you have to know these things and be tested on them. They gave up their service projects for a year to be acquainted with their new organization, but they would have had to get acquainted with something new anyway. At least they can bring their service to that chapter of Phi Mu now.
I'm curious tho. Why can't they participate in hayride and all that? Why do they have to miss out on formal? That makes no sense without explanation. If those are "wet" socials, then all of those NPC sororities that also participate are going against the rules. Good job on outing them and I hope that none of their nationals come on here to read your post.
