Re: Question for Sorors (and other greeks)
I think it's petty not to attend the shower JUST BECAUSE she didn't get invited to the wedding. But I don't think it's petty not to attend the shower if she isn't close or friendly with that particular linesister.
Weddings are about FRIENDS AND FAMILY, not Delta. Your linesister only invited her friends and family to her wedding, and some of your linesisters didn't make the cut. I have 12 linesisters, and I don't care if I could afford to have 500 guests at my wedding, some of my linesisters would NOT BE INVITED. Why? Because although I have much DELTA LOVE for my linesisters, all 12 of them are NOT MY FRIENDS. Only my friends and family will be invited to my wedding/bridal shower/baby shower/housewarming, whatever. While I have been fortunate to make some WONDERFUL sistafriends through Delta, lucky for me that isn't the reason I wanted to BE a Delta.
Bottom line - just because we are SORORS/LINESISTERS doesn't mean we are FRIENDS. I thought that at first - I thought that I had 12 new instant friends in my linesisters, and I learned the HARD WAY that e'rey soror/linesister AIN'T YA FRIEND.
So...I don't care if the whole line or the whole chapter participates - if she wasn't my friend, I wouldn't go to her baby shower. And APPARENTLY, they aren't friends, because if they were, she would have been invited to the wedding or at least gotten some sort of an explanation like, "I couldn't afford to invite you, but I really wanted you there" - something like that.
