Yeah, I know I tried to unhijack but I wanted to give everyone the reason I pointed this out.

Too many chapters and members think that because THEY do it, or they interpreted something in a certain way, that it's gospel everywhere. IT IS NOT. You also have to be very careful with wording. I about blew a gasket when I read on a chapter's web page "ASA forbids the use of alcohol" making us sound like none of our members in any chapters anywhere can drink ever. This is simply not true.

Before you publicize something in rush, or educate your members about it, be educated yourself. If something's CHAPTER policy, and the members of the chapter find it ridiculous, it can be changed. I wish more members knew this, they might feel more a part of the running of their chapter.
