I pose this question to BGLO greeks because being an African American college student, I am in the process of choosing a sorority to hopefully join in the future, but I see so much bickering between members on my campus, (especially between the sororities of AKA and Delta) those ladies seem to have all these conflicts amongst themselves. I even see them arguing with their OWN SORORS in public! To me this is not the way to represent your sorority.

Ok, am I to understand that because we're greek that we're not supposed to be HUMAN?? That we're supposed to get along with EVERYONE even though it's highly unlikely that we've gotten along with everyone we've met in our lives? This is ridiculous! Where is it written that I have to like all of my Sorors? Yes, I MUST be CIVIL with them, especially when it comes to Delta business, but I do NOT have to like them. Don't people who have blood siblings argue with them? Why are greeks not "allowed" to do the same thing with their Sorors/Frat?? There are things called personality clashes to which no one is immume. I will be entirely too happy when people realize greeks are not super-human, that we put our underpants on one leg at a time just like everyone else.
As for the AKA/Delta issue, all I'm going to say about that is some people, on both sides, take what happened in 1912 a little too personally.

And what about this paper issue? You tell someone the intimate secrts of your organization, but won't respect them or even acknowledge them if they didn't get the same beat down as you... pretty stupid if you ask me, and I am just an observer! Like the topic of this post says, where has all of the LOVE gone? Who cares how a person entered into your org. If they show the commitment to community service and uphold all the ideals, what is the problem? I thought the purpose was to uplift the race... but it seems (at least on my campus) this is not the case.

EXACTLY!!! I couldn't agree with you more.
