Aww man, look at the flames, look at the flames...
dstbrat, my chapter is also located a large, majority institution (Georgia State University) and like I said before, our chapter is respected and looked at as a "real" greek organization. We don't go where we're not invited and start drama with anyone. We're not trying to be down that badly :C)
The first thing I tell people is, "We're not affiliated with ANY greek council" right off the bat. When asked "Are you greek?" my answer is, "Yes!". That's how we feel. We know that we're a service organization first and foremost, but we are greek at heart and people see that.
PrettyPoodle, the call I use means something to me. It has a meaning to all that use it. It doesn't mean that I woke up this morning and said, "Hmm...how about I go and disrespect the Deltas and AKA's today?" As for the sign...GSS has several signs that are region-specific. The one that you are talking about, everyone doesn't use; as a matter of fact, the one sign that EVERY chapter uses looks nothing like that. And no, our Nationals will probably never endorse any of this. Why? They view it as something "local" not national. Trust, many of us have already approached Nationals about recognizing it, but I doubt it.
This can go on and on because 1) not every GSS and APO chapter is experiencing this, so they wouldn't know what the problem is and 2)everyone has their own opinion about it. So can we move on please! RM, see what you started? :C)
In Service,
