To answer my own question I bet they are too busy trying to make sure they get their own t-shirt order in . I say this because I believe prophytes have a more powerful influence on the actions of neos than anyone else. When I was a neo I was my own person but when it came to Delta matters I did as my prophytes did because in my eyes they set the example of what was and was not acceptable in my chapter. So if you have a neo running around making disrespectful remarks about other greeks and wearing a DST t-shirt in pink and green or an AKA t-shirt in crimson and cream you best believe if you look around her prophyte is nearby cheering her on!

You are so right. There are certain things that I would never allow my neos to do even after they crossed. As neos we all wanted to be creative and take it up a notch. But I taught my neos to never disrespect anyone’s colors, national/regional song, or call/hand sign. To be honest most of the drama stems from the disconnection between "old heads" and "new schoolers". If the bruh/ sorors from the past don't lend a hand to the newborns, they will make a mess of what we hold dear. This extends to anyone who knows better. To be honest, if we did everything like our prophytes did, Greek life would seem dated, but if we do away with traditional ideals Greek life will appear as it does now, cheap!

This is food for a new thread...
