I'm never going to post on here again and will encourage my sorority to do the same.
I'm sure most of you are wonderful people, and I had the misfortune to only be responded by the not so wonderful people, but regardless, best of luck to you all. And I hope we can remember that every action we take represents our chapters and the sorority community at large. My treatment on these boards makes me sad for our greek community and no longer makes me wonder why people dislike us so much.
Thanks.

I'm sorry you feel this way--there are many people on this board here to help, but unfortunately you did not encounter those people. I saw your other post, and honestly, I didn't feel qualified to advise on your sorority's rituals and ceremonies--and I would guess others felt the same--so I did not post. Your question really was better suited for the Phi Mu forum, if on the internet at all.
You really shouldn't take anything personally or let your feelings be hurt by some people on the internet. You'll never meet these people, they don't know you... let them be mean, and you can rise above it. As Dr. Phil says, "if you wrestle with pigs, all you're gonna get is dirty."
