I know this is going to anger a lot of people, but I just need to say it. Reading the last couple pages of posts made me laugh. Not in a "it's funny" type of way, but rather a "look what our world is turing into" type of way. I'm sorry, I was on the Executive Board of my council and I met with Nationals and am fully aware of risks. But do any of you realize that there is a risk in ANYTHING you do? Maybe some of you people should hole up in your rooms and not go outside for the rest of your life beacuse something bad MIGHT happen to you. Walking out your door a brick might fall from the sky and knock you on the head. The point is, YOU NEVER KNOW. It is sad to me that we as a society are so afraid to do anything anymore that we are all becoming a group of scared, sad people. I, IN NO WAY approve of beatings, forced activity, etc. but visiting your sisters?? GIVE ME A BREAK!! I would have NEVER met all of my sisters if I had not done visits with them. I wouldn't have taken the time. I have a small chapter, so it was easy for us. They were the most fun and memorable thing I did while pledging. I met with sisters and talked to them, wrote down their address and phone numbers, life goals, etc. They in turn wrote me a nice letter and gave me stickers. As an active member I looked forward to these times with the new girls the most. I get to know people more in that alone time than any group activity EVER could.
It was true bonding and I have the pleasure of saying I KNOW ALL of my sisters inside and out, and I NEVER had to memorize anything. I WANTED TO KNOW THEM. And now, beacuse our society is out of control, we are not allowed. Our sisterhood does not seem nearly as close as it once was.
Pretty soon it is going to escalate to the point where we will not even be allowed to touch eachother. This is why this whole issue is just so sad.
