One question though just out of curiosity, how do you forget or not know the meaning behind the symbols that represent your organization? I would be shocked and appalled if an Hermana "forgot" or didn't know ( not even a remote possibilty ) the meaning behind our symbols. Honestly, how do you proudly wear and/or display your symbols if you can't remember what they represent and why your Founders (members, others) chose them? I'm not trying to start any drama, I'm just curious as to why and how that is possible.

Anyone?

I sincerely doubt that you were "not trying to start any drama" with your post. Your post questioned my pride in my sorority, and I find it quite insulting. For the record, as an undergrad, I held Executive Board positions for five semesters, more than any other sister in the history of my chapter. Since school, I have supported my sorority and chapter and our philanthropies with my time and money. Your sorority would be fortunate if you had an "Hermana" as devoted to your sorority as I am to mine. I have been a sister longer than your sorority has existed. In fact, I remember many of your founders back in my days as an active sister, since your Alpha chapter was at my college. Those women were involved in campus and greek life and put their energy into improving them rather than insulting people as I feel you intended to do with your post.
