How would your sorority "compete" against our years of inducting (spelled marketing, membership information and recruitment) of members?
I think sistahgreeks, Ladylike and DSTChaos are trying to help you. Along with BlueReign and my soror, RefinedDiva... They are PROFESSIONALS in various fields that KNOW how something in life works... I know my Soror Refined is in the law and there are several legal things you need to be following so that when someone sues you, you are not asking your membership to pay... 
By statements like: "Asking how to run a GLO, then stating that you don't have to "justify" your organization...Well, that sounds too much like biting the hand that fed you... |
I'm
truly not being a smart-aleck when I say this, but that was helping? It felt like being targeted, to me. Other than that, I see what you are saying. And, maybe these ladies are trying to help me. If they are trying to help, I would like to be able to receive it in the right spirit. But, I can't receive it if it is sandwiched between smart-aleck barbs, and backhanded insults subtlely disguised in wordplay. I'm good, but I ain't
that good.
I welcome help. But, please, can all the attitude be left out of it?
As to the first part you wrote, I think it would be fantastic if AKA did that! My whole thing is that everyone has a place they can belong, if they want to belong. How would AKAs (or the NPHCs) decision affect my org? Well, there will be some (or maybe even a lot of) women we won't get, but as I stated earlier, I'm okay with being a small org, or even a local or regional one.
However, there will always be those women who, for whatever reasons, don't feel they are a "fit" for AKA or the other D9 sororities. I know that might be hard for you all to consider, but people have all kinds of reasons only privy to themselves, about why they feel the way they feel or do what they do. It is inevitable that there will still be (non-dysfunctional) women who don't click with the D9, but who still want to be a part of a Greek letter sisterhood. They should have a place. There are only 4 of y'all, and you're not everywhere, and you can't be everything to everybody.
There's no guarantee that these women will want to join Theta Gamma Pi, but at least there will be another option available to them. I'm not trying to compete. Theta Gamma Pi will have who it is supposed to have.
Thanks for your input.
