When you're out and about being your fantASTic way, and someone, based on their own ignorance of you, thinks negatively of you, would you bend to become the person they want you to be? And why should the information be any more available than it already is? Rumors and hearsay? We've been around for a long time and have withstood many a rumor. If we operated by what others say and think, we wouldn't have made it past 1906.

I like your analogy. It's nice, and it does exemplify what I mean as well as what you do. No, I wouldn't become what they think I am. Instead, I would want to show them that I'm NOT like that. If we had a bad rep with another Greek org, I wouldn't want to just say, "Oh, who cares, they don't know us so they can just think bad about us." I would want to change their perceptions of us.
That whole post was really good, by the way. I enjoyed it
