I'm sorry if it seemed I was attacking the national org in anyway, I know you are awesome and the girls in "theta" were super excited to have the opportunity to become part of that. I didn't intend to offend anyone; I just thought that the other perspective had a right to be heard. I appreciate the feedback from everyone, but if you aren't familiar with Penn State's Greek Life you wouldn't understand about the things they are missing out on... being a college town isolated from basically anything else has keep us behind in the times, so to speak. And according to our VP of Standards all our nationals are aware that we do not run like many other school systems. We don't have the same access to third party vendors and we haven't yet gone to that format of events. I don't want this to get catty and you may choose to believe whatever you like, but I am only sharing what my best friend is experiencing. Since it is not my experience I do not know how they made their decisions or what options they were given. But as an active sister in her chapter this is what my friend is sharing. We know that fraternities that choose to not associate with a name are not worth the time of day, but it is still a real and very uncomfortable/disappointing position to be put in. AND that isn't an attack on the chapter it is a truth. Something I'm sure you would be hurt by if put in the same situation. There is NO need for the judgment and "boohoo" comments. I'm sure if you were in a difficult situation you would like some empathy shown. Let me reiterate, my initial post was to give this thread a better understanding of the actual situation and feelings felt by the girls who are active at Penn State. None of the "theta" girls felt comfortable posting here and now I understand why. I wish everyone the best and from now on I will let you assume whatever you would like.
