First....DZ, dont worry Im not offended at all. It was just your opinion and you have a right to say it just like I have the right to say what Im gonna say now.
Would there be a discussion if she was going to pose in Sports Illustrated's Swim Suit additon (which one year wwas wayyyy more raunchier than Playboy)?
Would we be singing a different tune if it had the signature of Michael Angelo or Monet under it? It would still be the same picture.
I totally agree with Amycat on this... What YOU think is art might not be what I think art is, and what your morals are might be different from mine and no one has the right to criticize anyones.
Lexi: each org. has different values just like people do. What I was saying is that yes, she should respect her org for what it has given her, but they should respect the fact that this is what she wants to do and as long as she make sure (if her org actually cares about her doing this)that its in good taste. It DOESNT even have anything to do with her org as long as she doesnt involve them. Its a college issue, if someone is going to take the time to find out what sorority all these girls could be in, then in my opinion they need to get a life.
Do you let the one girl who gets wasted every weekend and hooks up with everyone ruin the rep of an org or chapter? NO
Do you let the one chapter that may haze ruin it and let everyone think the org is that way..I should hope not.
THIS GIRL POSING FOR WHATEVER IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON HER ORG. OR CHAPTER.
True, her sisters may care, but in my opinion, theyre worried over nothing, and to a point they could be jealous who knows?? (Im just saying, you never know)
Also whats good standing in your org is different from my interpretation of my org. it doesnt say what moral codes we are suppose to uphold. What it says it that we should try to hold ourselves to the best standard we can, but that we should also honor and be true to ourselves. To me it really couldnt give me a moral code to live by anyways, because my faith and morals are going to be different from Greeklawgirl's, her's different from OTW's, hers differ from Lynn and Alphagam1019 and so on.
Truthfully (and the AGD's on here might kill me for this ) if you want to get technical and read into stuff. She'd kind of be living up to some of AGD's purpose by posing....
To develop and prize health and vigor of body . Well she must definately prize her body in order to pose for playboy.
To covet beauty in enviroment, manner word and though Her body could be considered an enviornment.
.... to lover her for her womanhood. Self explanatory.
In the end, I dont always agree with or like what my org does, but they do it. And they will not always like what we do either, but if it makes us happy and we feel its right, why should they stop us from doing it, when we don't stop them? If sometimes going against or not agreeing them makes me a bad member then they better take my badge away.
This was just a general statement and sorry that it was soo long, just had alot to say. AGD's please dont think wrong of me for using the Purpose this way, but I was just trying to use it as a kind of twisted (but truthful) example
