As for the random statement, MysticCat...if you have read all of the NPC organizations histories, there is one that randomly picked their letters because they liked how they looked together. If you are sensative that the colors changed, SWTXBelle, then get over it. I never implied that change is bad. I just implied that AOII staying the same was good!

You're being told to be proud of your sorority without ripping on others. Truly secure pride doesn't require you to disparage someone else just to make yourself sound good.

I hope AOII is proud of me for achieving every goal I set forth for myself educationally and professionally. Also, I recently found nearly my entire pledge class for our 50th chapter reunion...5 months of work with only 2 women unfound!!

Look, I edited it for you and it shows exactly how proud you are without tearing others down.
