Last week I had my nieces stay over and I took them out with me and some Greek friends. When they saw two of your sorors they immediately began to skee-wee their hearts out . It happens that my sister taught them that and a cute chant. Your sorors thought it was cute, but my other friends said that it was inappropriate . It's not the first time I've seen this happen, as a matter of fact it's common to see little girls imitating their mothers calls, strolls, etc. Do you think it's wrong to prejudice a child to a particular fraternity/sorority? Or do you believe if you “bring up a child in the right way they will not depart”? I plan to put my sons on line at the age of 3...lol!

I know folks that have their little children (<7 years old) doing all the "cutesy stuff", but once they get into the higher grades, such as 5th+ grade, SOME parents make the kids stop. But then, I have also heard about the little kids arguing over who's better between different GLO's--and it's worse than those in the organization...
So, I do think at some level it's cute, like the little T-shirts and stuff. But at another level, like chants, calls, and all that other stuff, is irrelevant, over the top and uncalled for and may need some "intervention"...
