She didn't get kicked out....she was well liked and accepted. Nobody actually was kicked out of my chapter or any other chapter during the time I was a member. We all put up with a lot of crap, but if we started being known as the "sluts" or the "druggies" some heads would have rolled. But...that's my campus...and it did work. Maybe at your campus, squirrel, every chapter has their open sluts and crackheads so no one group is ostracized for it....more power to y'all, but THAT doesn't work at most campuses.

Yes, it's nitpicky in my opinion. It just seems like there's a contradiction...it's so INCREDIBLY important not to (gasp for air at the audacity) drink on the dance floor but I mean...possible drug dealing relations? Eh...we'll let it go. You are making an incredibly inconsistent arguement...at first it was all about image and now you claim to have possible drug relations and "discreet" sluts (the truth is, it's never discreet if anyone knows but the two involved). So why in the world worry about a drink on a dance floor? I mean really...that's really ridiculous...if image is so important that you couldn't get a pledge class if a sister held a drink while dancing or smoked without crossing her legs or something I suggest re-evaluating.
Don't bother acting all offended...sorry but I do and will think the logic here (or lack thereof) is baffling. No, on my campus I doubt open crackheads would work (personally I've never met one) and yes, every chapter has at least A hobag...and as it's college, so does every chapter everywhere.
I just thank the lord we're lookin' out for something besides nitpicky rules...respecting letters is one thing, this is another. Rules, written or not, about things deemed by the MAJORITY of society to be immoral are reasonable, as are rules regarding respect towards letters. I guess you have problems differentiating but I assure you, those sorts of rules and a list of rules regarding your every movement on campus (and of course image is everything...that's why it makes total sense that you would completely just go down the drain if you drink on the dance floor...but I mean drugs and sluts are cool...just not like, holding your cigarette in the wrong hand while you cross your legs the other way...) are different. The logic does not follow.
I guess we're just more about sisterhood here, so I don't understand chapters like that. I am grateful even more for the five here...no one has to change themselves as a person to fit in because "image is everything"...I think we're all more interested in fun, being ourselves, and companionship. The kind of greek system in which image (however contradictory the definition is) is more important than sisterhood is one I do not want to be associated with.
